Nice job Chuck, (and John)

Looks like a big boy rooster tail.
can't wait to see it.
Diane you missed the shot of the speedo breaking the 100 mark.
If you need a land video let me know I can use Mares Video Camera ,High Def too..

Diane was keeping an eye on the motor. I was on video duty and missed it. I was trying to keep it as steady as I could.

All good ,I was just seeing if I could get Diane to chime in on all the progress.
I'm sure she had a nice party set up for after the test.
Chuck's boat surely will be center of attention at the poker run this weekend.

Well.....
We were lucky; the steering system must have been 75% air. It took over a gallon of ATF to get it completely bled, but: Oh, what a difference! My bad, very bad...
The drive trim pump is DEAD. Something's gone wrong with the check valves or something, so I stole a pump from one of the tabs. (The boat doesn't need those dang things anyway.)
I also made up two longer tubes for the water pickup, so that should bring us up to the recommended 25-30 psi.
A check run tomorrow AM at Blue Marsh Lake, and we're off to Smith Mountain....
