Fished north of Shrews Rocks NJ today

[bgreene]

No pics worth posting Charlie, but it was an interesting ride.

I pushed the boat a bit.......not to make it pound.....rather to see how the hull handles this size ocean close chop and wave action quartering off the bow and dead on the bow.

Keeping the tabs down to the right degree, and the engine tucked, I was easing the throttle forward to about 3, 800 and really cutting into those seas. Got to feel it out pretty well and then found the sweet spot of approx. 3,500 rpm for most of the ride back - at about 17 knots.
Had to back down to 3,000 rpm towards the end because the seas were really getting nasty, with some big waves - big enough to change course to go around and avoid. Grady White 20' and a CC of some sort fell slowly behind.......NOT because I was forcing the V21.... I don't believe in pounding a boat apart. So I can say with experience - this is a good riding boat with trim tabs.
Wellcraft could have also built the components to make it a tank too, but we know how this boat ranks, and why it's a good value for the cost.
