Default Splashed the 28 today!!!!

After three days of living in the bilge, the engine is installed and I took the 28 out for the maiden voyage!!! What a great riding and handling boat! It kind of took the fun out of scaring the hell out myself vs the 24.

First the bilge as I bought the boat:

When you put the outdrive on did you set the shifter in reverse on the throttles and also the linkage on the outdive itself in the reverse position? The boat looks great, best of luck...
