[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 357360, member: 1523"] So here we are, ready for another season. Finally managed to get all the planets aligned and got the boat in the water for the first time this year. Boat fired up fine in the garage, a bit smokey and rough at first but it smoothed out after a minute or two of fast idling. [img]https://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z291/Ranchero50/70%20F350%20CS/DSC02140_zps032c4942.jpg~original[/img] [img]https://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z291/Ranchero50/70%20F350%20CS/DSC02139_zps6924c307.jpg~original[/img] I did get new decals for it and painted the engine cover and some other bits with the plastic paint. So far I'm really happy with how it has lasted but with the texture it does get dirty quickly. Cruised up to the islands and picked up a bunch of 13" class smallies out of the eddies. Saw a bald eagle, a beaver and a deer. The boat was sluggish going up river, figured I sucked up some trash at the ramp because I left it idle for a while to make sure the cooling loops were open. Coming back down, it was back to it's normal smooth and fast. [/QUOTE]
