    Around 20 - 25 knots max.
    There 1 aduly, 2 teenagers, 1 11year old.

    The steering is quite tight. I replaced the steering cable & helm 2 weeks ago.
    The cable is about 30 cm too long, but the steering is firm with no freeplay.

    Oh well thats de bunked that idea.

    Majed i'm clutching at straws here, got any water trapped under the floor.
    Have a bit of a tap around under the hull.

    Dumb question maybe how is you fuel tank big long range one. Is it mounted longways or at the back sideways.
    One of those with out baffles could give interesting slosh with plenty of weight changing sides.

    about 1/2 to 1 litre of water comes out the hole at the transom when i take the boat out of the water. Don't think there is water stuck in the hull.

    I have 2 plastic fuel tanks (22 lites each). I always have both full when i go out. they are placed long ways so both can fit in the slot under the transom.

    I will try it out again this weekend and hit the waves head on and see how it goes. I will change course when i am being passed by other boats.

    Majed next time your out there, see if you can follow some one, see how there boat tackles the wake of another boat, then compare it to yours.

    I know if anchored, and I cop the wake from a 30 footer, my boat will rock side to side 6-7 times, it will spill your drinks, and make you grab the sides.
    But that's a deep V hull for you at rest.

    But on the move passing a wake she's pretty damn solid.
    Do You know any experianced boaties out there that could go for a run with you, to say if it's normal or down right dangerous.

    You took a mechanic for a run didn't you' with the bad coil thing, did he say any thing, or didn't you have the same passing wake conditions.
