Michael.

Pretty clean wake pattern. May take it up a hole but trimmed up @ 40 knot I could turn it hard and get a little cavitation.

Mel's favorite addition....

Courtesy deck lights are nice...

Very, very nice Ken!!!! You and Mel did real good!

Not too sure about the Eagles green LED lights!

The bottom pic shows how far back the front seat is versus before, cool!

Very Nice, Ken. Worth all the effort in the way it turned out.

Here are some quick screenshots I grabbed on the run. Different trim setting gave varied results but it's hard to press and hold the home key when your flying along.

30 knot cruise @ 3 nmpg

Hey Ken where did that 74 gallons go?? Or was the 30 mph pic before you filled up? In any case, I can only dream about 3 nmpg. Shoot I don't get any better than your 1.78 nmpg at 4000 rpms, let alone WOT!!! Sweet!

Don, I noticed that I had not reset the fuel on that GPS after I took the screen shot. Most of the time I spent on the water was to get all the electronics set up. I had reset the one unit and figured that it would reset the other because they are networked but that wasn't the case. The fuel burn is definitely improved and will get better as I get everything dialed in. I think the motor can come up a notch or two depending on what prop I settle on.

One thing I did notice is that the smaller tabs have reduced their effectiveness but they still plenty of trim. The big change is the huge difference in transom angle on the Hermco. I have so much angle the motor is at 60+% trim with the cavitation plate running level. This gives a lot more ability to trim with the motor if needed. It's a whole new boat with the familiar feel.
