About his first ride he says: “Took the FRS15 out for the first time today and it exceeded my expectations. I’m running a 30hp Suzuki, trim tabs and a jack plate. Plenty of power. The boat hops right up on plane. The tabs really help with that as well as trimming out in a chop to get the bow down. Holds tight on turns, floats shallow, poles well, I really have no complaints.”
