I didnt feel like going back to find my thread so this is a new post. This was shot the weekend of June 11-14 2009 our first real trip with the boat 99% done about 100 nm round trip from Shelton Ct to Essex CT. The boat ran awesome I put Pertronics in on Wed night before we left. You can't tell from the video but in the first part they were about 4 to 5s with some 6 and 7s thrown in. I could only run about 8-9 knots in that but on the way home the three Sea Rays running with us could'nt keep up with me running 2900 rpm 23.5 knots. Filled up again Monday, fuel burn was 7.5 gph each engine. I will post some more pictures of the progress soon.
