On the water!

[Jeb]

I bought my '84 V20 in early March and have done some work: remove the old faulty oil injection from the '89 Merc 150, change lower unit lube, new fuel filter, new plugs, new impeller, new thermostats, replace solenoid on the power trim, repaint the deck, refinish teak, compound the hull, repair the bimini.... I haven't touched the rod boxes. They're garbage and I'm going to build new ones over the winter.

And finally, I went out. And I love it. She got up over 30 kt like it was nothing (just over 3500 RPM). I headed into a chop (probably 2-ft) at 25 kt and couldn't believe how smoothly it handled. Completely dry. I'm psyched. I love that it's easy to trailer, yet feels big when you're aboard.

Even got my ladies involved already!

It's going to be a great summer.
