Maiden Voyage

Took her out for the first time as the owner this afternoon. She is a 23' 1975 cc with twin 200 Mercs on a Stainless Marine bracket. The harbor in Charleston was rough today but I didn't feel a thing. I pushed the motors up to 5000 rpms each and was going much faster than I wanted to. She really moves. Just wanted to let the board know and thank everyone for the support. Now she goes to get some pretty extensive work done to make her shine like new. Thanks for all of the motivation.

Sounds great! But keep it below rotate speed, OK

To quote a friend who is a professional charter captain, "drive it like you stole it!" Have fun and glad it is working out/

CM, all I can say about your maiden voyage is WOO HOO!! I don't know about anyone else, but I could feel the thrill of it from here. How about posting some during/after pics? You know how little kids who are traveling will whine "Are we there yet?"? Well, that's what I want to know about spring!
