When I used to fish out of a Skeeter Starfire 175, it would soak the entire boat... It looked like a tidal wave coming in

I do it on purpose sometime. Rinse off the rear and put some water through the bilge pump to clear any insects that may have moved in.
And I know who "Jeff" is.

If your fishing Falcon mid summer youll want the boat to get that back wet. Sure is nice for someone fishing back there on those hot days

Would be nice to know it's up to the task when it's needed. Test it when it's at home. Put the plug in and fill with at hose. It will rinse out bilge and test your auto pump out.

Both skeeters, as did the Triton and now my COBRA all experience issue; chalk it up to life in the fast lane. Learn to ease into your stops. Here's another tip, warm up your motor BEFORE putting the hammer down. Warm up = 75yd. Idle.

I've had my 721 for 5 years, if you shut it down quick it will come over the back. As it settles, goose it one time and it takes care of it. Not a big deal, just a learning curve.

My last boat would always take on a little water, so it wasn't an issue. *** I would keep a bar of Ivory soap in the well, and the it stayed squeaky clean for as long as I owned the boat.

2 Worst boats I owned that did it were Skeeters. I have a Triton now and don't have that problem anymore!

Bingo. I do the same thing with my FX 21.
