Took a ride to the light house today .Weather man said 25-35 mph winds , with gusts over 45 .Found crazy big water both directions . The look on my buddy's face when we got back was priceless !

Hey Joe , Was hoping to see you and Sick for one more ride before the end of the mounth.Could not help myself with all that wind I had to give it a try .Almost turned around at the end of the river because of the waves were so big .When we finally did turn at the light house it was the crazyest part of the ride . Took it easy going out around 3000rpm , Coming back started at 4000 and wound it up past 5000 .Boat continues to amaze me in sloppy conditions .Still get a big grin thinking about it .

Biggest difference this year I got a set of 33 x 17 4 blade props . Used to run a set of worked over 30 pitch . Should be able to drop a little rpm and gain a some top end .Everything else was just normal stuff , change all fluids , filters , and tune both motors . Did have to replace one alternator , one trim selonoid , and one tab motor . Funny thing is I feel lucky cause , it was an easy fix .
