Thanks to TomZ's help with a few things, I was able to offload Distant Thunder in Stafford, VA on Saturday morning and travel down to VA Beach to pick up the new Distant Thunder that afternoon. I will post some pictures this weekend when I get her cleaned up. Super excited to drive the new 292 SR1.

Congratulations on the new bird

Here is some quick pictures..

A couple more after spending all day cleaning. Also finished doing a 3 step on the hull. Going to finish the other side when I regain feeling in my arm next weekend.

She's a looker Josh!!

Damn nice looking boat. Enjoy.

I put it in the water yesterday afternoon just to see how she runs...

I have a few things to do mechanically before I can open her all the way up but she ran 48 MPH @ 3400 RPM then I brought her up to 69 MPH (Tapped 70) @ 4600 RPM. This was GPS speed on my phone. This was on the 26P Bravo 1. I "think" my drives were sitting around 5 but right now, the starboard indicator cable is broke and the port one may need adjustment. Felt like she had a bit more in it but being the first time driving it, I didn't want to ring her out. The previous owner said she is good for 5K with those props but I will know in the coming weeks. Felt good on the water though, a whole different experience from the 223!

Thanks! You going to do the Chesapeake Bay Friends and Family Run this April?

Elbow grease TomZ, we both know that! HAHA! Thanks again for going through this "step up" process with me haha, let me know when we are going to step up to the next size in 10 years. :)

Thanks!
