Ha! Chris232 trust me it was a gentle beach up. Besides me no-fraid-of-no-beach. It's one of the great pleasures of boating....

Tommy buddy it just jumps up so quick you don't have to peg sticks to get a comfortable lead. I still can't get over how fast this thing accelerates. You'll have to forgive me since it was my first "real" day of putting it thru it's paces, so it was easy to lose focus of my surroundings. I promise in the future I'll be a little more conservative as I continue to get used to it...

Sounds like a dig on those heavyweight boats... like Donzi's. BTW, doesn't a 26 Donzi weigh as much as your new 32?

I like Donzi's BTW. If you're referring to the 26's it's hard to understand how they can be near 7k when it's most recently listed at 6k, which is up from the original 5.2k? What gives? Maybe mine is actually 8k?.... But then that would make me just your run of the mill gas guzzlin' boat needing large tanks with a very low mpg ratio. Not to mention, sloooower....

Hey Lar, sorry I missed ya last Friday. I decided once my work was done to just mosey on back south. What are you gonna try now that your other prop didn't work?

Here's a picture this past Saturday at downtown Portsmouth across from Waterside at Tidewater Yacht. We slipped in there towards the end of the day to choke down a couple of Margarita's prior to calling it a day. I'm a little over 13 hours total on the meters as of end of day yesterday. That's basically over 11 hours my time since arrival. Some of it though is no-wake zone as we have a couple of doozies around here. Sorry no runnin' shots as of yet. I know a few have been taken, it's just taking some time to get my sticky fingers on them...
