New throttle cables and ............

Such a big difference ! Holds rpms, easy to increase and decrease throttle by small increments.

Went for a ride on the Delaware River......... flat calm. Really starting to enjoy the merits of this boat. The 96' looper 150hp runs smooth and sweet.

Once I get the seating finalized, it will be nearly perfect.
Then I'll take some pics to post on this site.

Email message from Overton's tells me the port seat I ordered has shipped.

Then install, get the custom cushions and it's done...........of course.......it's never " done" with a boat .

Well that wasn't quite what I expected.......seat is getting returned. Smaller than expected and not at all comfortable.......

Something lost in the buying it off the internet or catalog experience.Been there, a little frustrating at times. It gets better, hang in there and post a picture or two.

Exactly - the seat seemed appropriate for a midget.........no disrespect to little people.

No matter, I fished it Friday and probably logged 30 miles up and down the coast from Belmar to Shrewsbury, out and down to Sea Girt reef.

Hot out there, and seas ranging from 1-2, to 2-3 with a nice swell mixed in.

I'd rather run in 8' long period swells than 4' chop.
