I love my boat!
 
1' to 2 ' chop, wind out of the S today, about 85*. no himidity...enough chop to keep the hull up out of the water. 3 kids, 2 semi-adults, about 15 beers, 20 gallons fuel....50 on GPS

:laugh:

I hear you, I love my boat. We are center Consoles, I think 90% on here are Cuddys. One of each. :beer:

can't tell you how many times I've shouted "I Love My Boat!" at the top of my lungs after cranking it to WOT and clearing the inlet at first light....

:fam:

I was going to put some cup or pitch in my prop....I'm turning 6300 WOT. But I get such great throttle response from 5500-6300. My engine builder says "Turn her!!"

Well at least you can admit that!!!!!

Not sure if I told yall or not but while I was in the Keys I put the "Guale Girl" through the biggest seas she's seen yet.......

5-7'ers at about 4secs apart.......It was white knuckle and short lived but I had to prove to myself the boat could do it, and it did. The steep waves only lasted for about 100yrds, part of the reason I did it, but I cant tell you the confidence it gave me afterwards knowin that the V can and will kick azz when it needs to.

On another note, I always wanted to write a short story about what age guys trade in their CC for a cuddy and a dry ride:beer:

I was younger when I abandoned the cuddy, not older. LOL.. The Cuddy still wet me and beat me up a plenty.

I will have to check my records on barometric pressure, but I know it was falling due to a cold front approaching out of the northeast. Water temp was about 75* :sun:
