Looked like she was just a hummin' along real smooth.Nice boat too. I like these type videos. I guess most people like to ride up front,but I like to ride at the back beside the engine where the real action is. Those Mercs look and sound great at WOT. If I ever have to re power my boat. hum :)

thanks guys...figured someone here would enjoy it as much as I do...
top speed w/ myself in the boat was 30/31 my gps App I use on the phone was bouncing back and forth.
RPM range was usually about 5200 rpms.....
I seemed to get a few looks passing fisherman and others...not sure if I was doing something wrong or they were checking out the boat? lol

hope my 500 merc sounds that good when i get it in the lake. sold my glastron yesterday, so now it is on my sea scout, the only other long shaft transom boat that i got. if the fishermen give you grief just tell them that a little chop on the water is good, and you could have a pwc and really bug them. lol

haha frog... will remember that next time...there wasn;t too many trihulls running around where I was at...i honestly think we were getting looked at because of the era of the boat!

last year when filling up at the local marina I got complimented on it... :)
