I had the opportunity to test drive the 41 Regulator at Suffolk Marine. Jimmy Lettieri the owner gave us the OK and Captain Rich Santos and I and George Yurcak took her out for a spin. The boat is magnificent and powered by 4 Yamaha 350 outboards. We backed out of the slip and did a 180 degree turn in the length of the boat using the joystick. You can literally walk the boat sideways using the joystick. We maneuvered the length of Sumpwams Creek using the joystick. When we passed the Village Municipal Dock I switched to conventional controls and brought her up on a plane. It has an automatic system that keeps the boat level and in trim automatically. Coming on a plane the boat stayed level in the bow and I never lost sight of the horizon as happens on many other large boats. I looked at the GPS and saw we were doing 40 mph and couldn't believe it. It felt like we were doing only 25 mph. We topped out at well over 50 mph into a stiff wind and chop and the boat handled incredibly well. If you have the opportunity you should stop down at Suffolk Marine and check out this incredible boat and all the other great boats they have for sale.
