Shake down cruise went well
 

:sun: Well I got the NAUTI BUOY out this afternoon for the maiden voyage !! All was good with just a few minor gliches
1) low oil warning alarm went off a few times . think it is the float in the engine mount reservoir.
2)The prop has a bend in one blade causing some low end viberation
3) Steering is stiff needs grease

other than that WOW a great 4 hrs. boat did 39 mph. on gps , trailer workrd fine, no leaks or any other problems.
So now it's FISHING TIME
:love:

(Get that prop changed or repaired asap. You can ruin the gear train)

Well done, she looks great, and X2 on the prop

Looks great!

Are you beached at that dock?

yep beached I had to run to the porta potty:beer:

You got a lot of hardworking into that boat and it really shows. That's the same top speed as I get with my 150 Yamaha.

That thing looks so good it MUST be an '84!!!:beer:

Boat looks great GW. Is that the Conneticut River?

Thanks guys That is lake CONGAMOND in SOUTHWICK MA nice deep lake which borders CT.

Your boat looks great! Nice Job!! Glad the shackdown cruise went well.

I had a bad float on my yammy and they don't give them away!! $130 later it was all fixed! mine would over flow the remote tank all the time, and what a mess!
Tell your wife to hand her butt off the side like the rest of us! the best part about going for a swim to go to the bathroom is you don't need paper!! LOL

Nauti Bouy looks GREAT, Craig!!...I know yer enjoyin' havin' her in the water...all that work PAID OFF BIG!!...:nic:
