A little chilly out there, but it was fun. Tiger ran great. Congrats on getting her out Neil. :drink:

Our usual media crew was there, so we've got some pics to show for now, and video will come later.

We hit 76 (I think) with 6 guys and 3/4 tank of gas on a lake like glass. Less people, gas, trimmed out, and some more chop, she should run in the 80's.

Put together a quick video. There's a lot more to it, but I cut it down for sake of file size...the full length video is mostly just running around.

DPT's Run

My ears are still ringing :D

Neil, that is an awesome sounding boat! :drink:

Do you catch any crap from others about the sound?
The video was great.

Hey I noticed a Coast Guard boat in the back on the video. Is that right near a USCG station?

Awesome video and picture Nick (sono***un) can't thank you enough.

It's been a long haul but it came together today... New rebuilds, new xr's, new seastrainers, and all the other sh!t that goes along with it.

Bob Marcotte (bmacgyver on OSO) of Vermont Home and Marine is unreal. He pulls together this and that like you can't believe.

Andy Costello of A/C Performance. One of the most dedicated and experienced engine builders I've met. He sees things till the end and wants it to be right.

Both those guys were on my rig for the test run.

Thanks to Peter (waterheater), Nick (sono***un), GLH and Chris (cowisl) for the company, pics, and assistance. It's great to have guys around me that love this boating sh!t as much as I do.

Little more fine tuning with the props and we should be good to go.

Neil
