Default A lil test run.......
We did some testing yesterday at the lake. Everything went great and the boat handled pretty good. We still had the mufflers on and well over 120 gal of fuel on board. May have to try some different props sometimes since we are hitting the rev limiters very quickly. Anyways still a great run for a full pleasure boat.

A special thanks to Lightning Performance Group and Nauti Marine, Inc.
