Getting them broke in finally. They run awesome! We went to Grand Lake O' Cherokee's this last weekend and had a blast. I will upload some more pics of the trip later today.

Oh how I miss those days, that smell of fresh hot paint is one of a kind. I don't miss the 2 weeks it took my to sync twin throttle sticks. Enjoy it they are only new once.

Wow... I spent many weeks during the summer at Grand Lake when I was a kid. My grandparents had a lake house there near Arrowhead marina. Been to many lakes, but I love that one.. its one of the best.

Bet your boat with those new motors is a beast!

I am pretty sure we are going out today, but only in Kansas crap lakes. I don't have enough time left as I have a contact to do in New York for the rest of the summer. It will be a bummer if I don't take the boat up there.

I will try to get some photos and video today while we are out.

Last weekend was good north of Monkey Island, but on the other side was a bit rough. Well put it this way, at around 60 mph, I had to jack the throttles back on every wave as the props were coming out of the water. :shock:

It was soft landings though. It did not even feel like we were pushing it at all. We had 6 of us in it and I never touched the trim or the tabs the whole day.
