Boat comes out of the water as soon as you get above idle, we mostly cruise at 900 to 1000 rpm. Troll for fish on one engine at idle.--Ed

Nice. I imagine with the stern weight of sbc but good power its a dream coming out of the hole. Do u find it a little rougher in big seas being lighter, or no since its stern light it prolly doesn't carry the bow so high and cuts nice. ?

It will handle rough water better than the crew will. Does good if you are going forward at right angle to the waves. Terrible if you are sideways. We don't go out if it's rough. No fun fishing if you are rolling around.
