risk, i'm about 240 and have had mine about 6 months now. first one for me. if you are trimmed out and moving pretty good and you are solo, yeah they will slide and prop spin a little on sharp turns. i just make sure that i got the prop slammed against the transom if i'm going to make a sharp turn at higher speeds. it takes a little getting use to. lowe makes a good boat for the money. fished them for 25 years before this triton. wish i had them back. haven't had mine spin like a top yet though.lol
