maiden voyage

[rockdoc]

Finally got my 70 Seafari in the water for a ride today- my first ever ride in a Seacraft! Very nice, definitely feels like a bigger boat than its 20 feet. I can see where Bennet trim tabs are going to make a BIG difference, they're on my list. Now I have a whole list of new stuff to figure out. The boat took on quite a bit of water in the bilge, got to find out where that's getting in! and, to add to the excitement...the bilge pump wasn't really working!! Yikes! But I got in and out ok. Also, I couldn't get the boat to line up right on the rollers when I pulled it.....I may switch to bunks, don't know yet. But even with all these little problems, what a sweet boat! I've got all winter to get it right. Next step is to get the whole Mercruiser winterizing thing figured out....
