Plopped into the lake today for the first run of the year. Weather was nice ... lake level was WAY down.

Went out on Percy Priest lake just to get a run in and see if everything was put back together right. Trying to figure out if I'm overheating but otherwise things went well. I even have SelectTrim working again!

Re: Spring sprung!

I bet it felt good to be out. Were hoping to hit the water this weekend for alittle fun. The weather has been gorgeus this year.

Re: Spring sprung!

Been out a coupla' more times. Finally solved all the cooling woes. Loaded up (family of 5 and two wet dogs) we averaged a little under 30MPH. Not much of a hole shot, though. She doesn't like coming up on plane ... fights a little hard and then levels out. I'll have to play with trim and look props over more carefully. For our day-to-day use it's not too big a deal. I didn't buy a '72 for a ski boat, y'know?

... can ya' believe the kids were swimming on April 1? It was 85? here today. Crazy ... in a good way.
