Definitely CenterHill or Dale Hollow, broke mine in this summer on CH in the middle of boating season with no issues. Old Hickory or Cumberland River would be a no…

Dale Hollow, put in at Horse Creek and go to Dale Hollow State Park 30+nm. Find some shad in creek mouths and fish for SM for a bonus, by the end of the day you will have it basically broke in.

Just go do what you normally do.

Today's engines are designed where tolerances are way tighter than the past hence break-in, although recommended are really more for gear meshing rather than rings.

I would still Break it in but would not worry so much about doing it in one day or even a week just have fun and don't fret the time.

My Dealer said it should be in at the end of March. Still having trouble getting some parts. Specifically an Ulterra 36v. I might have to run the Ghost until they get some Minn Kotas in. Since the Triton dealer is in Cookeville, I guess we'll just stop by Center Hill on the way home and do the first 2 hours at least. Haven't been there in years wouldn't know where to launch...

I would get the ghost and not worry about anything love mine. I have been a minn kota person for as long as I have ran boats. I decided to try a ghost and have zero regrets.

I've hit something on that lake about every trip I make. Fished a 4th of July tournament last year, hit something doing 60.
Dang, never saw a log, telephone pole or other debris doing 60. Helluva current.
