Maiden Voyage
Yesterday afternoon put my seacraft in the water for the first time since I bought it. I've only had the boat a month and had to make some small repairs/additions (gps/sounder, risers, trim angle indicator, high water alarm, anchor mount, new brakes on the trailer, and a survey for insurance reasons) before a sea trial in the salt pond. Did not really know what I was buying at the time. What a out standing boat! Did about an 1.5 hour sea trial then fished for 3 hours. Boat ran 38kn at 3700rpm. 4 barrels come in at 3100rpm's. Pushed the tabs down a little and ran a neutral trim angle and the boat had a awesome ride! Fished the 3 island at CBBT and came home with a limit on stripers. Nothing big out there yet the water was is 67 deg.
