CS3 to a R5...big step up?

[Big Block Power]

So did you get the boat yet? I'm feeling blue over here

No blue here. Yes, I took delivery.

I went from a 210 to an R3 which I was worried would be a big step up (and it was). But, I realized that as soon as you are away from the dock it doesn't really matter. I just learned to move slowly approaching the slip and if I misjudge, just reverse and try again. I will say that with the high freeboard, in a stiff cross wind the handling at slow speeds is more challenging (as compared to my 210) but I just avoided going out on really windy days until I got used to the larger boat size.

And if you're like us, boat is getting smaller every year.
