Well, finally got it wet. Boat floats real well, but very weight sensative from right to left. Straight skyward on takeoff, but planes quickly. I could only run it about 5 minutes due to a split fuel line on the high pressure side. I barely made it back to the ramp. It hops a bit until I trimmed it, then it was fine up til about 60 where it gets a bit squirrely. I could never open it up for more that a few seconds. Absolutely UNGODLY acceleration! Probably as hard as my twin Liberator with 28's! Does'nt seem to have hardly any prop torque, but don't let go of the wheel or you'll be swimming.
Here's a couple of quick videos of me coming by the ramp. It's in a little cove, so not much speed here.

Fine looking machine.
.Where do you place the GPS???
Back in the 60s/70s I had a 17' Kona with a Merc 115 on it.. I went to buy the new Merc 150 "blue Max"and the dealer refused to install it saying it was too powerful especially in turns...
