I would love to post more pics but the insert image icon/button is no longer present when I post. Any suggestions where it went? Ok, now to the meat and potatoes. WOW!! Suffered my 2 hours of slow go break in procedure. Then I let the big Kitty eat, of course no longer than 5 minutes at WOT! Boat corners like it is on rails. The SHO rocks, there is nothing else to say. Throws the battleship on plane almost instantly, super quiet and mid range is what everyone else has said, unbelievable. 68 MPH 5500 RPMs, no significant rooster tail. 70.4 at 5600 RPMS no significant rooster tail and starts to chine. Motor is mounted 2nd hole from top, inner jack plate is 1/8″ up and above outer. 25 ventless yamaha prop and water PSI is over 20. I have never had a boat that would run fast enough to chine, so I am gonna leave things put for now unless something seems out of place. That engine is something else, I just dont think describing it could do it justice. If you can, you need to experience one. Of course my experience with Mark, Kim and Andy at Greene Boat and Motor was top notch as expected and the entire process with Basscat Boat has been a pleasure. Fire away if you have questions. I feel the boat has a good bit more top end, I just dont think I can do personally until I get some more seat time. When that big ole thing gets squirley it is a little Scarey!Britt
