I got out in some hurricane swells too, and the engine just chugs along happily.

Next year I'll do more beaching too. 25 Seafari is going into the garage in 2 weeks for the winter.

This is a video I took running side by side FilthyOar coming back from seabass'n (forgive the shake)

You can listen to the motor chug right along. This was 30mph cruise.
