I don't have a tab position indicator, so I'll have to approximate. I had maybe 25% in head sea conditions, and I'm pretty sure I had them all the way up in the following sea. I also had a full fresh water tank and that puts some ballast up front.

Maybe... But, I'll bet your better half will back me up on the cowboy thing. When we got back and I mentioned it to her she said something like "Why do you think I stayed here".
You may not have hit 25, but I think you were close. I didn't spend much time looking at the gps, but I looked down at one point and was doing 22, and you were walking away from us.

Yeah, I'm still getting used to it. I've only got 75 hours on it and most of that has been on the Suwannee River.
