Jeff,

I just stumbled across this thread. Fantastic.....

I love the thought of comfortable cruise speed of 80+!!!


X2.............I don't know how I missed this thread. Great build, the finished product looks like a new boat!

Thanks for the compliments, I really appreciate it. We have pretty much had it on the lift most of the summer (the mouth of the cove just upstream from the Backwater Jacks Cove), so we have been able to put some hours on it. I am getting more comfortable in it, and with that I may push it a bit more. I did Tres Martin, but nothing replaces seat time. I was never intending to be the fastest 28 Skater, just the most comfortable that will cruise "forever" at a decent speed. It is especially nice earlier in the morning and then again in the evening when the water lays down.

Love the color! Sensible approach to piloting the boat too!

Allot of airplane, boat, and car accidents are due to it getting ahead of the driver/pilot. Once behind the curve, it can be tough to get it back. At some point it is the point of no return. Having a pilots license brings allot of focus into mitigating risk.

Since I wanted to cruise at 80 or 90, I figured it would make sense to get a 115 mph boat so that it would not work it too hard.

Sounds like I need to try a set of 32P Dewald 5 blades. Anybody know of any out there?
