Default Maiden Voyage Today

After several months of working and repairing my new center console and getting a rebuilt motor I made my maiden voyage this morning. During the trip found out that the fuel line under the deck was bad. Came in and spent a few hours on the replacing the fuel line and took her back out. Second trip was this afternoon was a great success......Next few days will be a wash out but better days are right around the corner.

Congrats!!! Nice job on the stripes on the hull... sweet looking. Your 200 Merc could be my Merc's twin. Same style and I think even the same stripe on the cowl which makes it the same year. Sweet running engines. What pitch prop are you running?

My merc. is running very well. I have had trouble with the RPMs running 6000 - 6200 so I recently exchange the prop I was running ( alum 14.5 X 17P) to a Merc mirage stainless steel 15.25 x 19P. This weekend I was cruising at 3500 - 4000 at 30 mph.... I did have 7 passengers and full tank of gas with the throttle wide open I was running 5200-5300 RPMs at 38mph again with 7 passengers. I want to run it with just me and 1 passenger.... How bout you????

Congrats!

I like the single stripe too. I had to go back and see that they were actually before and after pictures...

That motor is on my Cruisers Inc 22 footer. I have a Michigan Wheel 19p Stainless prop on her and if my GPS can be believed she does 52-54 on the Hackensack River @ 5400 WOT with just me in the boat. My V20 has a Johnson 200 on it.
