A little SeaCraft porn & video! SeaTrials

[copout]

Had my younger brother in town for the holidays, boy what a difference having an extra set of hands around can do. Got a few things accomplished. New bilge pump & a flat tire (almost to ramp) weren't going to stop us!

12/29 got her offshore for the first time. Managed a king, some snapper & my brother got housed by a nice gag grouper but mostly enjoyed some beer & memories!

Today we tried to get offshore but it was pretty snotty & we started to have electrical issues, so we tucked our tails & came back inside. Found some glassy conditions on the Intracostal & let her scream!!! Any guesses as to what our top speed was with 500 lbs of crew, 30-35 gal fuel, 30lbs ice, 8 rods, 60 lbs tackle & 12 beers?
200hp on a bracket no tabs?
Winner gets a frozen ballyhoo!

Now for the porn!













Here is the video! Enjoy & Happy New Year!

Awesome!!! 51.4 mph

[workinpr0gress]

Thing of beauty, 47 knots.

[ScottM]

43 knots as described, 46-47 in the photos. You're really airing her out in the photos.

[Fr. Frank]

I guess 46 knots (52-53 mph)

[castalot]

my guess is 43.6mph on gps
nice boat

[Bigshrimpin]

51mph is my best guess. The boat looks great!! Tabs will make a big difference getting the bow down into the seas.

[McGillicuddy]

Wow, looking good! Not much of the vdh in the water. Judging by the bend of the out riggers and the grin on your face, I'll guess 53.5 mph...

[bobbert]

So, did you file a flight plan with the FAA??

[Ryan]

Lookin good, ill guess 55 mph maybe 56 w/out the riggers
