[QUOTE="rook, post: 155985, member: 3076"] Well I put it in the water yesterday afternoon for the first time. Still not fishing ready but Oh so close. Got a little bit of tweaking to do. Idle needs to be adjusted a bit and the motor is jacked up to high. Kinda figured it was a little high but planning on putting a good anti-cavitation plate on it when I have the money. Couldnt trim it up much before it started porpoising. Also Im a little more transom heavy than i would like so Im going to move the trolling batt up front and go with 3/4" plywood on the front deck instead of 1/2" to balance the weight more. But even with all the small tweaks to be done I had it to 36mph on the GPS. Was hoping to get 40mph but maybe after the weight and cavitation issue is worked out. [/QUOTE]
