Here is an update to those that have advised me on several topics concerning my Christmas present.<br />89 bayliner cutty with a 125 force/boooo. <br /><br />Got the trim to work, got the radio upgraded, mooring cover redone, trailer cover on order. bimini outfitted. dsc/vhf and fish finder and gps wired, new lounge seats, and a good waxing.<br /><br />So whats a fell to do next, see if it floats and moves thru water? YES IT DID. About 35 mph, surprised at the quietness of the motor. <br />Learned to appreciate a roller trailer, this is on a bunk. Much smother ride than the 17ft Larson bow rider. Just not as fast. <br />now I got to check compression, bearring, and try it again.
