Sea Trials #2

[Texascoastalfish]

Finally got a chance to get out with new motor on the "Big"
Bay. After 20 more Gallons of 25:1 and break in completed. Getting 38 MPH. WOT at 5100. This is with a 112 Evinrude, bubble back exhaust bored .020. Will raise Motor 1". Shop set it up with Anti cav plate a hair below keel ( They said OMC says to put motor on 2nd hole ) Im running a 13.25 X 17 right now, I'll see what raising motor does to get up to Mid 5000's RPM. 4' Chop in Galveston Bay to start. Got closer to Jetty's and it smoothed out. 25 MPH winds. A little wet, but handled it nicely, had 3yr old grandson aboard. He fell asleep on the way out so it must have been OK to him.
Ran 65 miles Saturday and burned 22 Gallons, but this was varying RPMS from 2500-4500 for 3 hours to complete break in. All in all not bad.
