Re: New Key West 1520CC Owner
Hey
Glad you had a nice family boat outing. To bad about the crowd and the rude big boaters. They know what kind of wake they are producing but just dont care. They feel that just because their boat is big and wants to produce large wakes at cruising speeds that they are entitled to do it. You can get a ticket around here if someone complains about you. Matter of fact most of the chain of lakes that are controled by ALABAMA POWER COMPANY (one of which I live on) have just outlawed boats over 32' or boats over 60 mph. Houseboats excluded. 60 mph has some of the BASS boat guys mad. lol. The water is about 3/4 mile wide where I live. Everytime a fast boat goes by my place I think "Man, that guy is spending about $3.50 for gas every every minute", hope they are having fun.
It is never crowded around here. Mainly fishermen, then pontoon boats, then a few skiers and jet skis. I am on Lake Neeley Henry near Gadsden, Alabama in north central Alabama. Where are you? What kind of water and fishing do you have?
The hydrofoil works great and for only $27.00. Now with 2 people (approx. 470 lbs.) sitting on the rear bench it will plane in 6 sec., cruise on plane at 22mph, WOT 32 mph at 6100 rpm. To me that is pretty good for 50hp. And they fuel gauge has not even moved to 3/4 in approx. 20 hours. As you know I think we did reat buying a KW1520.
