255 xd delivery and something isnt right?

I will say the engines (except for the timing chain failures) appear to retain the Yamaha reliability, but the boat itself, the integration with the hull seems to be a bigger challenge.

And the reported issues are not horrible, but the dealer response to warranty has been a continued challenge.
 
I've always wondered what that extra toe in is supposed to do and if it impacts top speed or handling at all.
ive tested both extensively.

It def helps with wave being cleaner, and with the wake booster adding water and kicking the jet the rest of the way out of the face of the wave it has merit.

I found with them straight the boat picked up maybe 1-2mph and turned slightly different (dont know if id call it better or worse).

Im back to surfpointe angles as i feel my wave was better with it. I may revisit straight again when i have more time to test with new impellers and more weight to sink the jets deeper underwater.
