MarkGW, Me too! I picked up my boat Tuesday afternoon. The dealer and I took it out for a quick run for a prop check before I hooked it up to the trailier. The performance of the Suzuki 175 was awesome, Cruising at 3500 gives a speed of about 28 and WOT was about 50. Since the engine has almost no time on it we didn't run it for more than a few seconds at WOT just to check the prop. I should be able to improve on those numbers when the engine loosens up and I learn to trim engine and the big Bennett trim tabs.

Since pick up I've attached the bimini, hooked up the VHF, have mounted the GPS/Sonar and am in the middle of fastening on the Bennett Trim Tabs. I still have to install the pick ups for the GPS/Sonar and the hydralics for the trim tabs.

I have to work again tomorrow but will take Friday off for a whole day of boat work before the boat's first real sea trials on Saturday and Sunday.
