No matter what anyone tells you, DO NOT DRIVE THRU IT :shaking:

Just gently countersteer each rock of the boat and stay out of the trim (and trees) till you get used to it... Its all a balancing act, you will have it down in no time !!!

definitely gotta get some more seat time, went from a 25hp tiller to a 200hp console

Chine walk is very dangerous. I seen a lot of race boats lose it real quick, fast an in a hurry.

I would be more than happy to give you some tips if needed, as long as I can tie a string to the kill switch :D...

My lovely wife scared the crap out of me when she was in "chine training" ... She was doing real good until her timing got off and turned INTO the roll instead of away from it, which compounded things in a most voilent way... How we didnt spin out is a miracle and my old TR196 was way heavier than your Xpress...

Also, make sure your life vests are rated for your new speedy boat...

Lessons learned :rolleyes:

That's sweet. I had an H51 with a 115 Mariner on it that would do 58. I'm not excited to go that fast on the water. I guess I'm just old!

I am pretty comfortable to 64-65 but when you break 65 it starts walkin

Trim tabs. Ran bass boats for years. My old Skeeter Starfire would get scary at about 50.

Need some help learning, holla
