well, finally took the boat out for the first time today on Wilson. All I can say is,.....wow. I cannot beleive how well it handles, rides, and all the room in this boat. I am obvoisly very happy. That heavy giant actaully got up to 53 mph. and handles the waves very well. We got behind a tugg and tessted it out. You can do jumping jacks in that thing and it barely moves.

Figured out the new electronics, livewell, trolling motor and the kicker motor. Has problems with the panther lift, but I already knew that. IT works, but needs some new parts.

Most of all, the ol F150 pulled it up the fleet harbor ramp, one of the steepest we use. And the ramp was wet, so I feel pretty good pulling it. We just wont win any races.

GOing fishing in the morning, if I can find water instead of ice.
