If I lost 100 gals of fuel the boat would weigh in at my guesstimated weight of 13,500 which is close to what it weighed on the tow home from SportBoats.

Do you know what the trailer weighs?

No not yet b/c I need to leave the boat in the water then make another run to the scales & it was already dark when I scaled them both last night. I hope to splash the boat Sunday, boat , then drag the trailer to the scales before I pull the boat out.

To be continued.......

Not been much dialing in going on, more so learning more about the boat. I'm somewhat handcuffed on props right now, Merc doesn't offer anything above a 25 pitch in the Rev4 line but I'm hearing a 27p in in development. The introduction of the new 350's & 400's has created a demand for more prop options.

Jacksonville June 6th will be the 1st event I attend, then boating in Charleston the following weekend.

Lanier & Destin are also booked & I hope to be able to make KW but would like to do the run down the west coast w/ the FMO boys if possible!

Reconfirmed fuel consumption in GPH over the weekend. 2 onboard, 1/3rd of a tank of fuel (90 gals)

Instant Fuel Flow:

40mph= 1.5mpg= 23.5gph
50mph= 1.4mpg= 36gph
60mph= 1.3mpg= 48gph
70mph= 1.0mpg= 61gph

WOT= 80mph today, center & starboard engines on the limiters at 6350rpm, The port engine about 75-100rpm shy of the other 2.

As for the SeaDek flooring, its still holding up well & very comfortable, The light gray gets dirty fairly easy. Had I elected to go w/ the Teak look & the black stripes as I did in the cabin it probably would have hid the dirt a little better. Ultimately it cleans up super easy. SeaDek suggested I dilute some SoftScrub in a spray bottle w/ water. Way easier to apply evenly & I don't end up w/ the super clean spots i used to squirting the SoftScrub on the floor directly. I even had the displeasure of cleaning up red wine off the floor this weekend (courtesy of a drunk onlooker). Cleaned up like it was nothing!
