Congats on the maiden voyage!!!!!
I warned ya about the gas guage
When it gets below a 1/4 tank, it goes down in a HURRY. I learned my lesson a few times
Once you get a little seat time, you'll be able to turn it on a dime when docking and loading it on the trailer. It is so easy to manuever in tight spaces once you get used to it.
It does start to feel a little loose above 60 with the Mirage+. I could tell by the tach thats the prop you were running. Try a 24 Bravo if you can. It lifts the whole boat more evenly unlike the Mirage+ which lifts from the bow. It made the boat feel a lot less flighty and also gets on plane a lot quicker.
Congrats again. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Congrats Guys!!! Where did you take her out to on the maiden voyage? Any prob's with low water levels? Boat looks great. I bet you guys are pumped.
Have fun.... and we'll see ya on the water!!
BTW - I have some different props we can try. 23 Mirage, 22 Bravo 1, and a 24P 3-blade from Chad Hill (new purchase). But, like Griff said, the 24 B1 might be the ticket since the rpm's are that high.

Cowgirl, you just keep doing it!!! I think its real cool that you're doing the docking and trailer loading. It gets easier every time. You're bound to mess it up once in while, hell, we all do. But keep at it because there is nothing cooler (or sexier) than seeing a nice "go-faster" pull up to a dock with pretty girl at the helm!!
Thats a nice looking boat, always liked the Outlaws. No nonsense nice American (no Euro crap) lines. Plus they run good and they like a chop. Have fun Outlawcowgirl
