And I don't have the bilge pumps WIRED yet. Mine coulda swamped too lol. They're in though. We'll find out soon enough. Till then, mystic boat show is this Friday-Sunday.

Very True !!! hahaha. It's SO quiet at idle. Ridiculous. Has a good low grunt though when I blip the gas.

I had 100 pounds of sand bags in front of the pedal board in my old viper. It made a new boat out of it above 90 .

So if you were ever accused of sand bagging it...........

You couldn't deny it.

Well, not much to update... been on vacation and enjoying my time off. It's been almost a year since I had a true DO-NOTHING vacation.

Got the seat seat back from the upholstery shop couple days before the show. Man we're there some gorgeous boats there.

The first three days I got to sit and drink beer at the 26th annual wooden boat show at the Mystic Seaport in Connecticut.

Then took the red boat and woman out to Block Island for a few days. (party central on 4th of July!!!)

To do next week... going to relocate the battery forward, finish wiring dash and electronics, and fab up a neutral safety switch to the shifter. Found out during my first sea trials, the computer never thought it got out of neutral!!! So wouldn't rev up.
