Not a Seacraft But West Coast Potter/Hermco First Splash

[Normagain]

For the last year I have been working on a Wellcraft 24' Airslot which I bought with troubled Ford Windsor and OMC Stringer drive. After closing in the transom I contacted Don at Hermco and managed to get one of his brackets out here to Southern California. I also got lucky when a local guy decided to give away his 2000 225 FICHT with 700 hours on it. He thought it was a failure on the 2009 EMM but it turned out to be a weak starter and the motor just wouldn't spin fast enough to fire. So yesterday was the first splash. Motor performed great and I managed upper 5000k rpms close to 40mph looked like and economy up to 3mpg per the Garmin fuel flow unit. I still have some weight to add back into the boat, teak drawers and trim and some other stuff, so will know what I've got after a few more trips. Very impressed though and the boat seems to be sitting great with the HERMCO! We had a tropical storm move through from the South and it was pretty rough and steep with a bit of wind so didn't play for long.
