Default Maiden Voyage

Well not really, but maiden voyage after I got it.

So even though forcast for was Bay Waters Rough I ventured out after looking at the bay and not seeing it that bad.
In all reality it was ok a bit windy and wet but the windshield did it's job a number of times.

With winds out of the NE found that on the south side of the port of Miami there was a nice spot where the water was calm and used it to test out the ride.

I will open another thread about the prop size as I'm note sure if it needs tweeked, but the dang thing sure had some power and I thought it did quite nicely with the bracket and all.

The one pic will show that the water line in the rear is a tad higher on the boat from the weight but nothing insane. Additionally it gets up on a plane in no time flat.

Tested with only two on the boat and no additional gear, but all in all the 150 was definitely a good choice.
