Default I can't get over the performance...

... of Monsoon.
4 people; 3/4 full tanks, all my crap that I carry and the full bed in the boat, loaded cooler; on the Potomac River (slightly brackish)...

77.0 mph with stock Merc Power; 496HOs and stock 28P B1s.

Todd said the best he had the boat on the west coast was 77.5 mph.

Lighten the load listed above a bit, and lab the props, we are going to have 80 mph.

Now get rid of 3 people, 1/2 the fuel and anything that doesn't say Miller Lite on it.

One day I will tweak it out and she what she does.

Pat, can you PM me a ballpark price on installing AC and a Generator (separate prices please) this winter? I am considering bringing her to Florida for a while this winter.

Thanks! I will PM you my address for the bezel and 496HO pressure valve.

Adam, thanks for the info.

Pat, let me know pricing when you have some. And that image that I think you tried to attach to the PM did not make it.

James, of course I am very happy. I am signing up for RPBA Poker Run today, and refresh me on when your trip to Red Eyes is please.
