[QUOTE="rellis1962, post: 162596, member: 2519"] Maiden Voyage!!! Whole family wanted to go on the shake down trip. Boat did great. We spent about 1.5 hr on Taylor Lakes in Seabrook,Tx. I had a lot of weight on board with 4 grown people but I was still able to get her to 29+ easily. With a little tweaking on the jackplate and trim I am betting I get her in the upper 30s. Also got the TM installed this week. Here are pics and videos. 1st vid is of getting to 29mph. 2nd is after and my daughter giving me heck for getting too close to another boat. I really didn't (more than 50meters) but she is a really cautious girl and it is funny to watch. I made the TM base from leftover rectangular Al tubing. I stacked three together to make a 6"x4"x19" block and added a plastic end cap to cover the sharp edges. It is attached to the deck with 6 1/4" rivnuts. Seems very solid. Remember the Al deck is approx 1/8" thick so the rivnuts should hold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drTCfBcfbnI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHkii8mg_vU [/QUOTE]
