Weren't you worried about the cold air taking out the engines? I know I wouldn't run one unless the water was at least 50 and air was 65 or better :eek:

Hey that test tank is a cool idea. Never seen one of those before.

Wasn't worried. They are EFI theromostatically controlled Mercury engines. Only ran for a few minutes and back into a nice warm building.

The ramp looks a might bit slick!!!!! I assume no sunblock was needed!!!! Nice looking boat though!! Do you rewinterize or indoor storage?

I see "Disturbing Behaviour" is back from FL, Peter. That's a great way to get the salt out of her. Just let her run for awhile.
Let me know when the ice is off the lake and we'll get the Donzi out. :)

He, he. I'm getting like my friends in FL. If it's not 80 deg. out, they won't come out to play. It was explained to me by a local down there this way - We have so many nice warm days here, why would I want to go boating when it's cold ? Makes sense , I guess.
