Second day out in 215

Out again today and have some observations. Boat does so much better with the 150. With the weight difference motor 100lbs less and what will be 15 gals gas less when I fill it, it’s up on plan quicker and cruise 5MPH faster at same RPM. The T-Top makes for great shade. I had problem with a wet deck on the 00 coming in from scuppers that has seemed to be corrected with the 08. Another great addition is power steering. But I’m not sure new cables in the 00 would not have improved its ease of steering (they were locked at onset of season), power steering is great in close quarters. There is more motor noise at speed, may be T-Top allowing more sound to come forward. Still can’t here either Honda idle. Over all I am very happy with my new 08 set up. With all the great support from this site I recommend any year Triumph/Logic that comes with right deal base on what a person can afford these are GREAT Boats. I can not say enough about my local dealer.

Thanks all for help over the past 3 years looking forward to many more.

Gregg
