Yes, it is cold, but I have been waiting for this for a long time.Bought the boat in May, the motor in June, and have been working on it ever since.Tried to make a run yesterday and the tell-tale had no stream so back to the garage after launching and idling at the dock: plugged tell-tale fitting cleared last night.Long no wake zone on the Occoquan River was maddening but once I hit the main river (Potomac) I put it through its paces…to a point.I still had some RPM left but stayed below 61 MPH.Was I cold? You bet!Was I smiling? You bet.Glad to be a member of the family cuz I am already committed to Rayburn in April. Last edited by grybrd on January 21st, 2015, 12:53 pm, edited 1 time in total.
