Shake down cruise went well

[GREYWOLF]

Well I got the NAUTI BUOY out this afternoon for the maiden voyage !! All was good with just a few minor gliches
1) low oil warning alarm went off a few times . think it is the float in the engine mount reservoir.
2)The prop has a bend in one blade causing some low end viberation
3) Steering is stiff needs grease

other than that WOW a great 4 hrs. boat did 39 mph. on gps , trailer workrd fine, no leaks or any other problems.
So now it's FISHING TIME

You got a lot of hardworking into that boat and it really shows. That's the same top speed as I get with my 150 Yamaha.

I had a bad float on my yammy and they don't give them away!! $130 later it was all fixed! mine would over flow the remote tank all the time, and what a mess!
Tell your wife to hand her butt off the side like the rest of us! the best part about going for a swim to go to the bathroom is you don't need paper!! LOL
