Been having tons of fun on the boat this summer. Here are some recent pics...

In the slip. Note that I finally changed the thru hull fittings to stainless...

That is a BEAUTIFUL boat, and child too !

Questions:

1. How fast WOT ? Real curious about the performance with the etec 175.

2. Fuel burn at cruising speed ?

3. What are those teak looking pads on the gunnels ?


We should park our boats side by side. Set up the same except for the engines.

Ya know, I have no idea how fast she is or what the fuel burn is. Someday I'll buy a GPS so I can measure speed. I added the teak steps because I really like teak accents on these boats - plus I wanted a step pad for the kids and wife getting on/off the boat in bare feet. My favorite V20 is Emmet Fitzpatrick's in the Gallery section of this site. I also really enjoy maintaining the wood. At some point I'm going to replace my dash with a teak or mahogany one. When I do, maybe I'll add a fuel flow meter as well.

I'm trying to find a pic with the boat covered with fish guts! It's never clean for long - my daughter likes to grind up the bait and make fish cakes for the sharks.

That looks like Raritan Bay right off Staten Island. Very nice looking boat. :sun:

[buckleyjr]

Thanks guys! Yes, that's the Raritan Bay.

nice rig buckley

[bgreene]

Yeh, nice rig - how fast ? Oops, asked that already.............

[buckleyjr]

Well Greene, I got the boat up to 50mph today. Though it was on the friggin trailer! My fuel pump just went. Second time in a month. Very frustrating, especially before the holiday.

That sucks plain and simple.

Bummer about the fuel pump. I'll be looking for you out there.
