All went well both cameras went tits up. Thank goodness for friends. But of course I had to run out of gas 200 yards from the dock :lol: good for a laugh. Boat handels so fine :!: Did have a little trouble with the high speed jets on the motor but will have them worked out today. Here are a couple of pics. Happy Capt. Woody :D

I just knew these boats would be chick magnets.

Contgrats! I am so jealous.

By the way, how did the safety patrol man in the background like your
non-registration numbered power boat?

Congratulations Capt.

Now per one of other "friends" it will take you a year to "fine tune". Sounds like you are off to a good start. :)

They don't always follow but they did bring me 5 gals of gas from my truck when I ran out about 200 yards from the dock :lol: I will have to do another run this weekend to test the Merc. I had trouble with the high speed jets on the carb :? Will let you know next week. Capt.woody
