Maiden voyage
Yes the weather cooperated allowing us to maximize my visit. A few pics for my brief trip to Sportboats. A HUGE thank you to John, Mark & Ray of SportMarine who basically dropped everything & made me their #1 priority this weekend. They've made both the build of my boat & this weekend possible.
I also had a chance to meet Carston & Carl of Evolution Trailers, they made the hour trek to the ramp where we launched in order to test fit the UHMW bunk system. Trailer looked great & it will pull the Nor-Tech proudly.
Before you ask I don't really have any performance #'s. We did run it up to 78 w/ 3 peeps & 150 gals of fuel but ultimately this was really the boats maiden voyage so it was much more of a systems check run. Several hrs were spent at Sportboats reviewing a pre-delivery checklist. When I arrived we spent time going over the boat bow to stern& did a brief orientation of some of the systems & equipment. Fri. We certainly maximized the day from sun up to sun down. We blasted over to Cabbage Key for a late lunch. Pretty cool place.
Today Eric Belisle (Taxman) joined me for a few hrs this morning since I was destined to get lost w/o him. Just a laid back few hrs cruising around & taking in the area.
Hope to make it back next week in time to make the FMO Sarasota event.

PS- while I've barely had any time to appreciate and or enjoy the electronics that your guys installed, I was very impressed w/ the installation. Rigging is first class, I need to post a few pics and I will once I get the boat back home.
Electronics Unlimited definitely gets a big thumbs up from me for sales, service & installation.
