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.- Hide quoted text -

That's our Harry. If he doesn't own it, it's junk, just ask him......
What a childish piece of ****.

Actually Harry is correct if it is real 3 foot chop. Only a 19' boat, you
can get really beat up in that. Mine is 21' and only a 20 degree Vee, and I
slow down a lot in big wind shop.
