The tradewinds have laid down the past few days, so we took her out on a rare flat water day yesterday, for some swimming, snorkeling and just noodling around. With three adults, day trip supplies and 20 gallons of gas, briefly touched 40.5 mph on Vessel View Mobile at WOT 5,600 rpm. Also have a few seconds video of hole shot, but not sure I can post that because of size?

Great stuff! Glad you are enjoying the boat and new motor! Looks beautiful where you are.

Here's a link to a 9 second video clip on YouTube of our hole shot. My wife took it on her iPhone, and it ends a little early, but I think you can see that the 150 is doing just fine getting the old girl up and moving! No tabs, 475 lbs of people, various day trip supplies, 20 gallons of gas, bimini's folded down, and it has bottom paint.

Is that pic from Buck Island? Boat and scenery looks great!

Yup, Buck Island it is! It can get pretty busy on nice weekend afternoons these days, but weekdays are still pretty tranquil, and the water clarity is great. We had a lot of rain in December and January, so everything is nice and green too.

I interviewed to become the vicar/pastor of a church in Christiansted a few years ago, and one member of the search committee took my wife and I out to Buck Island for snorkeling and a picnic. I would have liked to go to that church, but it wasn't where I believed God was calling me.
That's where the "Not my will, but yours be done" part comes in.

I like that video and picture of the boat with the new motor on it! Glad to hear that you have recovered from your surgery. Also, great to see another Sceptre with 2 black biminis covering that giant dance floor in the back of the boat!
