We launched the boat at about 9:00 am today. It was pretty windy, so not much to do but put the boat on the mooring. I put 0.3 hr on the clock, so it is out of its initial break-in phase. The next phase is going up to 2,500 RPM in a varied fashion.
.
The boat sits about 2" higher in the stern than I had anticipated. The static trim appears to be 0.9˚ (just under 1 degree upward) . . . assuming the deck is parallel to the keel. I can probably check that by going off one of the stringers in the bilge.
.
The boat will need an initial cleaning from all the tree trimming it did while bringing the boat up/down our narrow road.

when i had the carver and my mind went down this road i contemplated adding 100 or so gallons of fuel capacity in the (former) engine well.
