Boat ran great
I really do appreciate all the posts and pm's I have received in the past couple of days. All of you on OSO are truly a great fraternity of brotherhood ready to help in anyway and I can't say thanks enough to all. Many people offered in many different ways to assist and I am proud to be a member of this group. I am happy to report that other than freezing cold weather, the day brought all smiles to my wife and me. The dealer, went over and above to make all this right. His guys were on this boat early today and found a bad ground strap and two dead batteries and had the boat thoroughly tested by the time we got to the water. He also took two Herrings off another boat, which had the boat very stable. We made a number of passes and I drove the boat enough to get a good feel for what I wanted to see. I can't say enough about the hard work the dealer and his guys put out in the freezing weather to make this trip worthwhile. As it turned out, our Friday to Sunday trip turned into a Friday to Thursday trip due to the ice storm that hit Atlanta today. The first flight Delta could book us on after the snow/ice is the 13th. And now it may snow in Portland tomorrow.

What I thought about the boat.
I liked the ride and the way the boat handled. I think I am going to like to be able to walk away from the bass boats and jet skis. It was cold as hell, so we didn't stay long. I have ordered some Herring titanium props and am going to test on Lake Havasu and see if we can get it dialed in for this summer.

Thought I would post a few pics of the boat we are here in Portland to buy. Flew out from Atlanta yesterday to take a ride and check out this 36 Speedster. It is brand new, but a 2008. It was a product of the tough economy. It is so much better in person than in pictures. We go for a ride this afternoon.

With the right Herrings, I would expect you to post up well into the 130's.
Hopefully we'll get a chance to run together on the East Coast somewhere.
Ohhh...and you'll really enjoy Havasu. Are you planning to run the boat in Desert Storm? That was my first Poker Run w/my 36. Depending upon who your crew is - you might want to bring bail money. I didn't make it out there last year and missed it (although that trip almost ended my brother-in-law's marriage - we had a little issue with one of my crew's cell phone "butt-dialing" at a most in-opportune time. )
