Back on the water! But...
Over the weekend I took delivery of a 1987 Grady White Tournament 19 with a 2018 E-Tec 150 G2 with 22 hours on it...
The hull was given to my father and he did some cleanup and the engine install. He claims he hasn't been using it much so he offered it to me.
Took it out today and... wow. Engine-wise - ...a modern engine and controls are awesome - 30mph at 30% throttle ~40 at WOT - It can use a bit more prop though. I do like the open bow - it does 'feel' like a bigger boat in that regard.
Ride-wise - the tournament is harder and wetter. I immediately see the benefit of the V-20 bow flare.
I will be sending the V-20 up to CT to him. Who knows, maybe it'll make it's way back down here. For now, I am going to enjoy this Grady.
