Interesting...

I don't think so. The wife has a friend in town and they're going shopping, etc. She is usually my 2nd half when getting the boat on/off the trailer, etc.

Thanks for the info. Checked everything I got from the last owner and no performance report. I am pretty confident the boat is as it was when it left the factory. I have e-mailed Tony.

Once I fix the speedo, it will be easier to dial in...

I was also thinking about mounting my 7" tablet above the gauges. Could run the speedo app and use it for music.

Yeah... seller said 72 GPS verified was possible. We were 2 adults and about 3/4 tank of fuel, so maybe on a 1/4 tank we could hit 72?
