Took six months to get her W.E.T.

[whatknot]

I almost didn't make it in yesterday. All my fishin', chickin, whatknot got phuck'd.
I did finally make it though after what seemed like a million little things. Sorry guys, my girl was the only one with the camera. But she had a lot of clothes on anyway cause of the wind. I'm calling it my pre-launch day. I promise to get you dawgs something to bark at later. As far as the boat, with 60 gallons of fuel and 4 people she did 37mph right off the bat. Hopped on plane real good. I could not be more impressed with the lowrance unit with the LMS-400. At WOT she drank 15gph with a full load. I see what ya'll mean about the weight distribution though. I need to drop the engine as low as possible. I was seeing the top of my hydrofoil. Tested my bait pump too. I wired a "minuteman 2" bait timer into my switchbox that allows me to have 2 pumps (in and out). This will let me utilize the in deck 18 gallon livewell at the stern.
All in all it was a very satisfying day. Even without the bikini. I'll take more picks on the next outing. Thanks to all who provide here.
