Going forward isn't the problem, it's when you have to turn around to pick someone up that you run into problems.
I have to be very careful when turning because OT pipes will burn a rope in just a couple seconds :thumbdown:
What's the worst that could happen :D

so there's no problems other than that. what i mean is when i turn an start whippin people around the boat wont go towards there way. might sound dumb but shit does happen.

Stay on the gas and you won't have a problem. Just be very careful when stoping, so you don't flood the boat with your own wake.

Just have to watch where you are going bud, and have someone watching behind ya just like you were in a less freeboard challenged boat. I have thru the transom exhaust so burning a rope is not a problem. The one problem you may have is the water coming over the transom when you let off the gas. You have to look back and when the wake comes up gas it a little, or you just might swamp it. I also have a splash guard so that is another thing I dont have to worry about, and can watch where the hell I am going. Just my .02
