Glad you got to finally go boating on her and even in the month of July :D Can't wait to see her and go for a ride. Question did I see mufflers on the back, come on LOTO cops won't mind you running it straight :D LET HER BREATH. Again congrtats with your new toy and see you soon, Bring it by Clinton on the way to LOTO.

Mufflers are quieter than through prop exhaust. Quieter than my old one swith the exhaust closed. Colette loves it that way. :mad: She also loves the sound of the 600s spooling up, and her point is that if you take the mufflers off, the engines won't sound nearly as good. :eek:

She has a point, I kind of like it this way too. I plan to leave them on for now. But Wayne said he can drill and pin them so that if you want to leave them open you can, but you would have to decide one way or the other. You can't switch them from inside the boat, only from the muffler itself. Not sure if we will do that or not.

A couple more shots from docking up at lunch.

What was the total weight on the boat minus fuel? Trying to get an idea for some comparisons.

Awesome boat !! Congrats !! :D

Re: New 43 Sunsation F4 - pictures
 

I'd rather have a stealthy boat that runs 92 than a loud boat that runs 68!! :evilb: You don't need the penial-extending noise on a boat this bad-arse. Leave it alone. BTW, do I need to spring for a set of fenders for this thing??!! Who ties up to the dock with no fenders??!! :eek: :mad:

Re: New 43 Sunsation F4 - pictures
 

Thanks. They have not weighed the total package yet. They have weighed pieces, like the deck, hull etc. Their goal was to stay under 10K pounds. Not sure if they made that or not, but it can't be far off.

They probably will never get a true dry weight with this first one since it has batteries, fluids etc in it already.

Re: New 43 Sunsation F4 - pictures
 

Those of us that can place the boat spot on! :evilb:

I was surprised, it manuevered at the dock ok with the drives 9 inches off center and the props turning in. Then Wayne looked at me and laughed saying there is no wind today - you will hate it in the wind. :(

I had fenders on board, but they are useless when you are tied up to a couple round telephone poles.
