Boat is in the water! I dropped the dealer's tech $60 to work past closing time. The part didn't come in til around 330pm, didn't get home with it until 730.

Boat is dirty, but runs great! I'll pull it after the holiday weekend to get buffed and detailed.

Here's the pump :shock:

Spent the night on the boat with the GF, it wasn't bad at all. Going to have to get some better pillows and a little fan, otherwise it was fine.

When I sea trialed I was bimini top up with 2 ppl and full tank in rough water. Just me, glassy, 1/2 tank, top down, trimmed right... much more responsive. With an SS prop I wanna shoot for 60.

Oops, Amazon had a warehouse deal. 12 volt 16" NAXA LED HDTV with DVD player for $140 shipped. Got that with an articulating arm that will allow me to swing and rotate the TV to the cabin door entrance so we can watch TV in the cockpit

Stylin' setup there!

That is sweet. How much power does it draw? Any worries about battery drain after a movie or 2? Also, you say it came with the arm, or did ya buy that seperate?

Maximum power draw is 24w or a 2Ah draw, it's an LED HDTV. On a standard lead acid battery a safe runtime would be around 4-5 hours. I'm single battery right now but I hear Santa (dad) is going to bring me two 6v batteries to wire in as "house" batteries. His buddy works for an IT company that works for hospitals, and they HAVE to replace their battery backup batteries every year. He sells the 200ah 6v AGM batteries for $25.

I'll hook it up to my KillaWatt tomorrow, devices rarely use maximum listed draw. I imagine it will be somewhere in the 15w region.
