first "ride"

[skipjake04]

Finally was able to get the underside of the boat wet last weekend. This was my first experience with "the ride". Must say I was impressed. I did not get a good test due to the timing, I think I have seen bigger waves in my Son's Bathtub. I did get to cut through a few wakes from fellow boaters and a couple of barges in the ICW. I only had one thing to say when I returned though and that was WOW. I can't wait until this coming weekend when I can hopefully get a good run out of her. I ran pretty short due to a fuel gauge not working and not sure if I was overheating the Merc. Man those things run hot. I finally was able to put a thermometer on it tonight and I am between 130-135( with a calibrated therm.) and from what I understand that is still below normal range. so here is the recap...very smooth, very stable, very strong and very fast.
Look for update after this weekend (hopefully)
P.S. how long do you have to be a Seacraft owner to qualify for one of the "cool" shirts.
