Sea Trial
Well, motor is installed and went for the sea trial this afternoon. I just want to say the guys at Drummond Outboard in Deerfield Beach did a heck of a nice job installing the motor. Joel and Zach are a great father and son team who really spend the time to get it right. First impressions of the motor are very favorable. I'm still in the break in period but the DF90 gets the boat up on plane with ease, even with 4 of us aboard (about 750#) and half a tank of fuel, all equipment, etc. It holds plane down to about 3200 RPM with the 14x16 Suzuki prop. At idle it is so quiet I can barely tell it's running. The wife and I are taking it out tomorrow for the day to put some hours on it and get ourselves familiarized with the new setup. I will report back once we get a chance to put it through its paces after break in.
