The back story on this......
Taking delivery of our 33 AT.
Here is a little summary of our trip down to Miami in Feb. This was a special trip. I had some friends question why I even went considering I was supposed to go Thursday the 13th but had 4 flights cancelled and didn't get down until 11 pm on Sat 15th which meant I would basically miss the boat show. Obviously, the boat show wasn't the only reason for going but I had kept the real reason a bit under wraps. The Miami boat show is in itself, reason enough for me to go, but there were a few kickers that made this trip even better.
1) We had been working on this deal since April 2013 and this trip was to see the result. The 2nd great thing was I was flying down my Pops who at the very least I owe my passion for boating, to share in the experience. While an experienced boater(Pontoon, and small runabouts), he had never done a poker run, run offshore in performance boat, or real running in a performance boat.
So while we kept the trip festivities and boat running a bit tamer than it could have been since he was with us, I wouldn't have traded it for anything. We also caught up with and met some great folks on this run who I look forward to running with again.
The video is a bit of hack job since I don't really have the patience for the editing needed to do it justice but it's better than nothing.

Boat is still in FL and I haven't been able to get back down to run it due to work but Pat is doing some prop testing for me. I'm bringing it up in a few weeks so hopefully i'll know then once he's got it dialed in.
