Nice job! Neglected boats are so much better when they're at least neglected INDOORS!

Congrats Chad. She's a beauty! How fast does the big ol' 60hp push her along (hi 30s - lo 40s?)

I tried running the GPS app on my iPhone while holding on for dear life but it was set on KPH. It was reading 70ish +

I want to say she was pushing mid 40's if not a tad bit higher. Whats the center force thing with boats where when things get really fast you can feel the G force reverse itself. Anyway lets just say I need to adjust the little trim thing on bottom of the foot.

Shoot it took nothing to get it to plane.
