Well today is the day I get to bring her home. Still a few items that need to fabricated and installed, but those can wait til the 10hr service is performed. I will try to get more pictures of electronics layout and other things on the water today, when we put the break-in hours on her. I went with the salesman yesterday to test a few props. First prop only got 5600 rpm, the second we got 5900 rpm and 50 mph. Good enough for me, my main objective is to have enough torque to push a load in less than ideal bar crossings. Nothing worse than getting in the trough and not being able to climb out.

I went with the 300 Zuke. Wanted fly by wire.
We are headed up to Diamond Lake next week for our annual Father's Day camping/fishing trip. Trout may not get the decks bloody, but we will have fun. 4th of July tuna are on the menu.

Re: Mostly Done
5900 RPM's..........dang. I know I must have the wrong prop then. Never get past 5500 with my 225 Honda.
