Still getting used to the boat, but so far it's a blast!

Sweet looking Rig!

When planing off have the engine trimmed down and then trim up some once on a plane. You'll learn to find the "sweet spot" where she runs the best and gets the best fuel mileage and best ride.

I have that on mine, I call it Armstrong power steering. Made by the same people who made my windlass.

Sweet CC, slick!!...that's a nice one for sure!!...to lighten up the steering(both directions), trim the motor up a little more...all of 'em I've ever had there is a certain trim level on the way UP that loosens the steering...I consider it properly trimmed when the wheel loosens up...then you'll wanna trim back down in turns and coming outta the hole...

Thanks a lot everyone!
And thanks Bradford and Reel for the insight! Definitely something I am going to work on. And Reel, I've got a wee bit of experience under my belt with forums; that, or the fact that I always believe that

Welcome and that boat is a head turner for sure. Love it. I have the same motor and hydraulic steering and what they said is right on the money. Trimmed all the way down it steers hard to one side. Keep trimming up and you'll feel it get easier....and get increased RPMS and fuel economy like they said.
