Congrats on a great repower. I guess that will eliminate me running you down in the channel.

Looking forward to seeing your performance #s at cruise. I hope it ain't no more than 24 knots though or you'll be exaggerating...

Hey Ken, just imagine what Danny would have bought if the market had a better Summer than the crap it did!! I can see that 400 HP Merc or the Marine7 on his Septre screaming by those Homosassa slalom course rocks with a big smile on Danny's face....that would be fun.

Don't get me started! My buddy will be trading in his F350s in the next couple of years and he is already pumping me up on one of those.

I'm not a big Merc fan but a man has to do what a man has to do.....

Thanks brethren! I dragged her to Boynton Friday and it was done on Sat by 12 pm. Intl Marine is fast. I will post numbers ASAP. The Cuddy weight made the 16X20 Zuke prop too much. 5400 max rpm. I have a 18.5 on there, but the installer wanted a 17! I probably need a an enertia prop to lift the bow down the road. With the weight forward I have the same freeboard as with the 450 lb Johnson. It's on the 3rd hole and the plate is even with the keel. The nice motor really makes the top sides look ruff!
