As some may know I bought the C500 back from Mark. Just about rigged. Hooking up steering lines, and wiring's all that's left. Stay tuned.

Motor is wired btw. Grommet was missing. Bought one from a dude in Key West. Took forever to get here.

What was the other jack plate you had pictured on FB post ?
Never seen a fuel fill on dash .. Putting a ash tray under it ? … LOL
The textured blue vinyl on seats is cool, and the pattern he did .. Looks great !
That boat is going to scare you Doug !

Only other jack plate I have is the 4" manual on the Fallison? Ya the fill is kinda there by necessity. And I didn't want it on the deck. Ashtray no. Cigarette lighter yes. Hell I just toss my butts to the Manatee ... Seats are what Ron originally had in his CVX 16. My boys Greg and Guy redid em for me. Yeah I dig the way they reversed the pattern on one to make em symmetrical. Think Mark said it best, "It'll be as fast as he is brave" ...

So, did I miss the maiden voyage? By the look of the "next years calendar shot" thread picture... did you splash it?

His best is 75.1 mph/gps.

That's plenty fast in a 16 footer, but certain there is more. Was hoping to get a report as to how it handles. To Doug and other OB experts, when using the hydraulic plate, do you find the best setting, then make up a fixed plate to save weight? Or is it something you always have to adjust?
