Default It sure was a nice day in Fort Lauderdale

Jay and I took the new 33 out for it's shakedown at 6:30 this morning.

Steve and Mikey were on hand to assist us with a prop-swap and a few minor adjustments at the ramp.

Sea conditions, thanks to all of the fishing/cruiser boats, were just enough to let us know it was going to be proving time. At 55 we were eating the water up like chop on a lake. 65 required small throttling. Quick, snappy responses. 75 was airing out nicely with no quircks. That was enough for today. In a bad mix of water it ran straight. It ran in circles. It runs exactly like it's big brother! Which, of course, is exactly like nothing else.

We hooked up with Kristen and Steve, stopped at Crown for ice and beer to fill that brand new AT cooler and headed to Jay and Suzanne's house to hit the water.

Off to the ocean and Pier 66 for lunch! Between the 2 of us barking orders at this poor guy in his new boat, all turned out well. He's ready for Richmond!!! We're arm wrestling to see who's driving.

See you guys there Friday. Save us a spot at the bar and the beers are on us!

First picture of the 33 in the water....

I'm sure you pushed the sticks to the top. Even though you may need some prop testing and possible spacers, what did it do? Come on, tell us more please.

Do you have any cockpit pictures?

Looks great!!!!

Since I've become familiar with AT by hanging out with all the Richmmond boys I'm going to make a point to come meet you Pat. My wife and I have already decided we will run our current boat until we can afford a 37.....but maybe a quick tour of the new 33 might make that day come a little sooner!!!
