I didn't think I was going to be able to try out the new boat for a few more weeks, but the weather was looking pretty good and I just couldn't stop looking at her in the driveway, taunting me to make the 292-mile one-way drive it would take to find water that wasn't covered in ice. Below are some photos from the trip, particularly the ones of the boat. I wanted to post more but the site won't allow it and I'm not a fan of the gallery format. Yo Bennington - why so stingy with the photo limits when they aren't even hosted on your site? I posted a complete trip report on my website with lots more photos that you can see by clicking here. I didn't get much into the boat discussion on my site since it's not really about it, but I gotta say - WOW, am I impressed with this boat! We loaded it up pretty good. I figure probably around 800-900 pounds of people, dogs and gear, and I was still getting 21mph at 5900 rpm WOT. My specs are 22 SSX, 25" tubes, Yamaha F90, Quicksilver 14x11 prop. That seems pretty good to me for the load. What do you guys think? It will be interesting to see what kind of difference I see when it isn't loaded when I can take it out on some water closer to home.
