First Splash - One Happy SB Owner
What a boat!! Let's see - got back Tuesday, graphics applied Friday, boated all day Sat, Sun in 87F no less!
The Boat is too awesome - really still learning the tabs and drive settings, but saw 70.0 on GPS Sun, and she had room to go yet! Knifes through our local chop, this is the PERFECT boat for our waters. Everything is running great! More to come soon!!!!
Miles of smiles - already gone over 100 miles and the fuel burn is easily 3+ mpg!!

Re: First Splash - One Happy SB Owner
Looking real good.
How's the space in the rear bench?
Room for only 3?
Do you have any cockpit / cabin pics?
What are you running for power?
Enjoy that nice Texas weather.

Re: First Splash - One Happy SB Owner
Thanks Stormrider!
The rear bench seats 3, with molded in arm rests/steps for boarding (good thinking SB!!)
Space under the seat is good, stowed all ropes, small fenders would fit, but not the larger ones I carry. All tools, safety equip, light poles, etc etc.
Will get some interior pix soon, though my cabin is unfinished - I'll be building that this winter or next.
Power is the single 496 Mag HO with std 26p four blade bravo prop. John, Rick, Jcap - you were all right on the tabs - this boat you can "set 'em and forget 'em" until you get comfy with the handling - she performs well with level tabs and then as you trim it up, oh man........

K...
Looks even better than in CT. The graphics came out fantastic.
You guys, and Pat, made a heck of an escort for a lone Sutphen.
Glad the power/hull set up is so efficient. You guys really tore it up earlier in the month. I think you've got me sold. Now, if I can convince the wife!

PS: Thanks for the "Texas Tokens" you left on my hood!
