First test of new motor since I mounted it in Jan.

I had a 10 HP motor on my boat (which is heavy compared to most 14' I have seen) I sold the 10 and bought a 20 (the boat is rated for a 30.)
I had some delays due to heart failure and surgery to fix that, subsequent hospitalization for infection and an ICD implant and just trying to get better so I can get back to life. Yes life can be hell when you get older.
Now, after 7 months I got to take the rig out for break in procedures and even at 5500' with reduced throttle/power due to the elevation I can tell that this motor is much better for my needs.
I really enjoyed the day out on the water. I didn't do any fishing but that's coming too.

TNX, I feel much better than I did last Fall and early this year.
Not ready to give up the ship just yet.
When I pass just roll me overboard and consider it the burial.
