I got to pull @CParrish43 through some very short line lengths with and w/o trick mode. As a driver I noticed the boat never lost any speed. As soon as there was load on the boat it instantly picked back up in very short calculated bursts of acceleration. It was almost like the boat had 100 more HP. Aside from everything else it was very smooth in trick mode, I never felt @CParrish43 back there. I could literally drive the boat with my knee if I wanted to.
In conventional mode CP would pull the boat down drastically and then get hammered by a long period of acceleration. It's a feeling like the boat is struggling and didn't have enough power. I can also say driving the boat is harder. With guys like CP it's never very hard to drive but I noticed a huge difference between the two modes.
Also on a side note, I noticed CP was noticeable faster off the ball and side to side in trick mode. We all know what that means....
