Went For A Ride

Saturday my family and I took the new to us V-20 out for a little ride. The ocean was slick and we saw probably 50 bottle nose dolphins chasing bait and a sea turtle.

We also caught and released some small black bass. (The wife said she was going out for dinner, throw em back.)

I am very pleased with my new boat.

We stopped at Capt. Pete's for a soda.

Then we rode all the way around Holden Beach, left out of Lockwood's Folly Inlet and came back in Shalotte Inlet. Like I said, the ocean was slick.

About a mile off of the beach.

A small sea turtle was sunning.

We tried to take pics of the dolphins, but all we got was the splash after they went back down.

Who says the cabin on a V-20 won't sleep 3?

They slept for an hour.

Later we ran about 4 miles out and caught and released about 20 black bass just for fun.

I bet the JOHNZUKI on the V gets some good milage. When I ran mine(before I seen the transom isuues), the 1.6 SEA-DRIVE GULPED fuel to the tune of around 12 GPH @ 3800 RPM's :o.

I ran about 40 miles total and I used about 7 gal. ;D

Top speed was 35 mph with 25 gal gas, 2 adults, 3 kids, and a big lunch box on board, but I was turning about 400 rpm too many, looks like I could use a 20 pitch prop. (Assuming this tach is right) But with this prop the V shoots out of the hole.
