We are crusing virgins, but have decided on a new Crowline 242 after looking at all of the options ( or at least the ones within driving distance or at the shows ). We will mainly be boating on the Cheasepeake Bay.<br /><br />We opted for the Merc 350 mag MPI with trim tabs, but we have the water test to do yet. What should we do or look for?<br /><br />Engine noise and handling are the easy ones, what are the insiders tricks of the trade to look for?<br /><br />Thanks for the help,<br />John
