This was Greggs first time out this year and he picked a good day - sunny, not too hot, and the water was smooth. Gregg's upholstery job is first class. The whole boat looks brand new. Professional job. I love Gregg's boat and motor colors. Nothing new to test on my boat - the dashboard mounted Garmin on the suction cup Ram holder worked well, the battery in the Garmin went dead - will have to install a cigarette plug in under the dash to keep it charged, used the better of the 22" Raker's I have, flush trim tab, and 20 gallons of gas in 4 plastic tanks on the rear floor.

Best speed 55.1 MPH at about 5,400 RPM with one passenger, about 4 MPG. I love how the boat is balanced at top speed and that it handles so nicely. Thank you Art Carlson.

What a bunch of beautiful boats and what a great day to be out. Sadly, I was at home, cutting grass :(

Don't feel bad Ross, I had to work a half of day yesterday and then work on my remodeling project on the house in the afternoon. Haven't launched once yet this year
