Well folks, we just couldn't wait until spring! We picked her up at Spicers today and dropped her in the water at our cottage. What an AWESOME boat......SOOOOOOO much better than our Bayliner!!!! We had fun!

Good for you for not having her winterized too soon. I envy the autumn leaves that you Northern boaters get to see. And as you say, she is a beauty (both boat & wife). Congrats on the purchase.

Spicers had it doing 60 mph only for a second during the sea trial. They said they didn't keep it WOT, which is 5200-5300. They said its the fastest SS they have ever had out of the whole. Someone there mentioned that it may have to do with the catalytic converter set up. Its a strong engine thats for sure. It will be even more fun when its broke in.

Great looking boat! It is certainly not too late in the year to get her out. Enjoy!
