maiden voyage...YES!!!
finally got her in.Just got it off the trailer and," Oh S#$%", the plug.Havent done that in about 10 years. anyway starts right up ,idles nice, drop her in reverse spin her around ,out the channel I go.Pass the 5MPH bouy and bought her up to 3000RPM,played w/ the trim alittle.Istayed close to shore [i did wait for a high tide], cracked it up to about 4000 rpms.A real big grin on my face by now.It was pretty calm so I eased it up to 4500, trimmed it out a bit more, motor is just purring.I kept that rpm for about 500 yards, a little more throttle,a little more trim now its dancing pretty good. Bought it to 5000-5100 just briefly ,then back down to a nice cruise speed. throw her into a few turns, I was impressed.This was my first ride in a V20 and I'll tell you this...I'm glad it's mine.Now I got to get it in the soup,whatta hull,I loveit

Re: maiden voyage...YES!!!
I've got a friend visiting from Fla. he's up here today. He has'nt fished any northern waters in 6 years...and he knows his way around computers much more than myself. He already told me he'd post some pics for me today.
