I feel the same way about my little CC. I can run about all day on 15 gallons but its not near as fun as an offshore.

When were you at PIB? We are just west of Davis Besse about 3 miles. We are up almost every weekend.

Those waters look familiar!

When we had our cruiser docked in West Harbor, we also had a 20’ cuddy cabin docked there as well.

Only did it for a yr but put way more mls on it than the cruiser!

BTW, a cuddy in case we had too much fun at West Bay Inn!

I do have to say thou, 2+MPG, 4 hrs of running, 19" draft , 90 miles covered, 5 days never opening the hatch and one $120 fill up is pretty damn nice.
I shoudl have done this second boat deal a long time ago , takes the stress off having to hurry and finish

Well I rebuilt one steering cylinder and bled everything which is not an easy task.
Next day the other cylinder started to leak. Had that rebuilt , day later the other drive cylinder started to leak.
Good times.

We go during the day have a couple beverages, lunch then head to Kellys to swim and hang out then stay at Kellys.

That weekend is terrible now. I have zero desire to go there anymore.

Hanging out with my man Kevin in Travers city this weekend.
The water is the clearest I have ever seen out of all the places we`ve been.
Amazing!
Boat runs great , was doing some tuning still, not there yet with fuel tables.
Keeping it under 5K rpm , water pressure too high , need to adjust pickup even higher .
Getting some actual seat time was nice, I`m finding out the 6s do not need much trim at all. Raise em a bit from tucked after getting on plane and she takes off like there was a parachute back there .
playing with tabs..(horizontal is the way to go for sure, now they actually do something instead of putting a hole in the water )
to find the sweet spot .

IAT`s are 20* cooler with one stage just for intercooler.
Oil temps staying nice and even with extra cooler.
Boost is way down with same pulleys as last year, 5K and almost no boost ? Love it .
can`t wait to get her dialed in .
She has some nice accelaration now .




Thats 9' deep Thats





That pic is 9' deep water
