OK, little update.
I was down in Dana today.
Boat looks awesome, really a nice clean job David did.
The motors run great on the muff's.
Very smooth and really seem to shift well.

Looks like we are ready for a sea trial on Monday.
The ocean has been really rough the last few days, because of a storm we had.
We will wait till Monday and go for a cruise.
I just arrived home and realized I did not take photos.
I will get some early this week.

Bryan,
For seatrial, seeing as the motors are well past the break-in period, my guess is you'll see 54 MPH in calm waters...if you can find some.  Maybe 52.  Dump your gear and lighten the 245 up a little... :thumright:  :thumright:

Yeah, I know photos, duh!
We have had about 4 days of crap weather.
Nothing like the rest of the Country but crappy for here.
I had every intent of posting up some photos, we have done quite a bit.
When I say we, I mean David and his worker.
Hang on a couple more days, photos will be up.

Bob, the Pacific looks like Victory At Sea today, not sure how smooth we will see, maybe in the marina :)
I think she will do real well on a smooth area run.

Pacific, from the latin word pacificus, meaning peacemaking... :scratch:  :scratch:

 Aaron, how is it going?
I actually bought the pair the motors had on them.
Barry, whom I purchased the motors from. He emailed me and asked if I was interested in the props.
They are really clean and I hope they work well.
Ken at Prop Gods recommended the exact same pair.
They are the 17 Rev 4 props.

I think they will work great, we will see in a day or two.

Excellent Bryan!  Get them dialed in, trim right, light load, and right conditions, you'll see my 52 MPH.  Really stretch the trim out, might see that 54... :thumright:

Bob, they were not trimmed out and it was rough, I am sure over 50 in the right conditions.
