A new LU....ouch.

Lot of guys don't know it, but the worst thing you can do when you're trimmed out and running and come into an emergency situation is to kill the throttle. Most of us dont' run a high performance boat, but an 18 footer with a 150 and maybe a 115 on a 17 footer. If you're on Pad and kill the throttle, you're subject to have a hull come down and hook the boat on you. It's hard thing to make yourself not do though in a split second. You should trim down before coming out of the throttle.

'Course, this probably doesn't apply to you, if you were only doing 40, but it came to mind so I thought I'd post it for somebody that might not know. Hook a hull, just once, and you will remember it though.
