Paul, heck mine is still in storage .. Good luck out there. The sun is shining so that is a plus.

Just curious what you do with the boat on those days we still see well below freezing temps?

Default More water this year!

Got to Fisherman's Landing figuring I'd have to back in past the end of the ramp again like last year. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised. She floated off the trailer without a problem, I just hope the water levels stay up all year like they are now.
The big lake had 3-5's near the harbor entrances in Muskegon and Grand Haven, 2-4's out further with some big ones occasionally. The newly labbed props held the water much better than they did previously. The ECM reprogramming seemed to help the low speed idle, and reduced transom soot significantly, we'll see how it helps with the rich condition that I had last year after I do another oil analysis.

All In all a great day togo boating, just wish I could have stayed out longer, had to get back home by 6 pm though. Saw only one other powerboat in Grand Haven, guess what kind it was!!!
Powerquest owners are bad asses!!!

nope, he just did the ECM's, the rest is stock. We cruised down about 40 knots, didn't want to spill our beers.
