    Steve Nice of you to stop in here and thanks. Steves a good guy who gave a me a good deal, a test ride, had a compression test and thru in a trailer. I'm getting better at driving. I've had a variety of boats from age 7-20. At 26, the last boat I'm famailiar with, was my brothers heavier...

    2011 Pulsare 2100 w 250 hp STABILITY?

    Although your advise might be for smooth water, I setup the boat as advised on our last outing and the boat handled like a champ. It was rough with the waves averaging 3 1/2 feet in height. I was at 50-55 mph most of time, but got it to 62 mph. The prop was getting minor air and sounded like a...

    2011 Pulsare 2100 w 250 hp STABILITY?

    I recently got this boat and have driven it a few times. The stability of the boat above 40 mph is in question. The fastest I've been is 55 mph. At that speed the boat wanders quite a bit and is a handful, but the worst is the boat flips between the bottom left side and bottom right side rather...
