My brother took the boat out Thursday and Friday. No leaks at all, boat run at 38 mph in the messy seas, winds where in the 20 mph range for most of the time.
Boat max at a 42. Said boat performed well, took the 4 - 6 ft. rollers in the channel really well, never even came close to burying the bow. |

Forgot to add, all electrics and electronic gear working perfectly. I think we rewired everything except a few cockpit lights.

What is the fuel consumption per hour?
Looks like a beauty. Gotta be careful to not scratch or mar that beautiful paint job on piers.

He is going down to the Keys next week, maybe he will get some numbers over more extended usage. We Have not redone the bottom yet, and the anti-fouling paint is as rough sandpaper. That part of the project is going to be done between fishing trips, final paint job on the bottom will be done this fall. |
