Maiden Voyage

Finally after one and a half years I splashed the 43 Thunder . Twin 605's and number three drives spinning 26 inch props . I got 65 mph on the GPS in flat calm water . I am encouraged with a prop change and water in the 2 to 3 foot range I am hoping to see 70 to 75 mph .

Nice job Rick, lots of work but all worth it now. You, Rudy, Todd and I will have to get all the boats out and go for a good run.

Congrats;
