I still think you should try a set of 24's. It would be interesting to see what a 5 blade 24p would do on that boat.

I saw the boat made it from the ramp to the Tipsy yesterday and you weren't in the bilge, so hopefully it ran well with the new wires!

We made it 50' from the dock. Engine stalled when I put it in gear and then split the gear off the end of the brand new starter I had just put in it... Quality parts from China, 2 or 3 starts out of the damn thing! Gotta love buying faulty 'new' products. Live and learn.

I had invited Justin and Nate (and the girls) along, so when the starter puked we parked the boat and they were nice enough to take me out on their gentlemen's cruiser, so the day was still salvaged. Fun day.


Did you get out Frank? Any word on when Richie is coming to finsh the boat?
