went very well. That 18 footer with the 150 hp Yamaha is a screamer, but I
only got it up to 3900 RPM. The day turned out beautiful, if a little cool
and breezy. The boat handled the small (one foot) chop in the Rappahannock
River with ease, and I was very impressed with the engine. The engine
rocks, almost noiselessly. At 3500 rpm I could carry on a conversation with
the maintenance guy in a normal tone of voice.

I left it at the dealer to get the radio and antenna installed, and will
pick it up this coming Saturday. It's fun becoming excited about boating
again! Hell, fishing may even start consuming some of my golf time!

My better half is quite thrilled with the boat and can't wait to get on the
Potomac and check out some of our favorite 'boaters' beaches'.

Hey,hey! I was giong to ask how the day went. Glad you like the new
boat.

I love it, and, more importantly, so does the wife! This thing just about
launches and retrieves itself, compared to the ProLine. And, the 150 Yammy
definitely makes it scoot. I can't wait to get up in the Bay and see how it
does in some 2-3 footers. Hell, the damn thing has eight rod holders!


Yeah, I want to see how it does in two to three foot chop, too. Leave
your false teeth at home.
