Well guys... It's been a long and expensive 3 1/2 years...but today I finally took the Beachcraft out for her first sea trial since being restored. All I can say is she ran flawlessly... I simply could not believe the power of that fresh 350. She'll lay yer kidneys back now, baby!!! One thing's for sure...that 14.5 X 19 three bladed aluminum prop has got to go!!! Did I hear somebody mention stainless steel???<br /><br />Like the topic title says...<br /><br />Walt's a happy camper! <br /><br /> :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
