    Default New boat floats.......pics


    Finally got on the lake. Our new lake is beautiful. 1000 acres of pristine water and 22 miles of virgin shoreline.

    The little boat performed magnificently. Everything worked as designed, especially the joystick. I amazed my own self. It is just a joy to drive. My arm is not long enough for big pats. ha

    TM wot was 3.4 mph. I only went WOT with the 30hp Merc for a brief moment. I was hitting 26 mph and backed off. The engine is new and not completely "broke in". Good numbers for this small craft.

    The stability is awsome. We have lots of leg room and it is easy to pee in the water without the fear of falling in the water thanks to the hand rails. What a bonus!!!

    I have an HDS5 networked to a HDS5x. Works fine. Brenda now has her own screen. Thanks DonG and Billbob.

    I ran the big motor in autopilot mode briefly. It worked.

    The Terrova performed as expected.

    This was a very successful ORI.

    I am one Happy Hooker!












    Big motor on autopilot. No, terrova is not steering the boat!

    Great looking rig. I hope to make it to the shindig tomorrow on my way back to Illinois and get a close up look at it then.

    That is great. Glad everything worked like it was supposed to. I really like the idea of a auto pilot. Have run them offshore but figured it to expensive to ever see on a small craft like yours. Quite a job you have done with the new boat. Congratulations C P.
