We ran the boat today folks and things went GREAT! We put in at Rabbit Creek and ran out to the bay and across it a couple miles before we came back in. I had to run so we couldn't stay too long.
She planed out great, ran faster and had a smoother ride as well.
Not to mention reduced engine noise! :shock: Its definitely the quietest two stroke Ive ever been on. :) *
Before the top speed was 37 GPS and today we got it to 42 trimmed out. Everything is the same...GPS, motor, prop, RPMs, etc... 8)
We had no leaks and the bracket stayed dry inside. Even with the big live well in the floor full the motor and bracket height looked great from idling all the way to full speed and back again.
Here is my friend's little boy, Johnny. He likes the new cockpit room. * ;D
I was really amazed at how effortlessly the boat lopes along at 35-38 MPH. It doesn't sound like the big Merc is working hard at all. Its really sweet! I am ready to get her out in the Gulf this weekend for sure and put some miles on it so we can check fuel efficiency. * 8)
