Folks,

Today, we started the motor, boy is it quiet! Even out of the water with ear muffs it is nothing like my old Johnson 2 stroke.

I am very glad I hired a marine mechanic, I have learned much about rigging and a few tricks that were not obvious. I am sure it would have taken me much more time that it took Gerald.

Thanks again guys I am hoping to get enough rigging done over the next two days, to get a trial run this week! I am anxiously awaiting the first sea trial.

Peace.

Ed.

Studly..,

Keys, sounds great, I must first check with social coordinator :) It is most likely I will have to pass this time, keep asking though!

Peace.

tashas...,

6 Years, started April 2000! Lot's of mitigating circumstance, I think if I was to add it all up I have probably 1,500 hours. I havn't kept track, just a rough guess.

Dave,

Unsure of color, still need rub rail, etc. windshield this week.

Thanks everyone for your feedback, on my way to the store to buy cleats.

Peace.

Ed.
