Kieth,
Looking good just take it easy on the trial run you never know what is going to break or loosen up. You will find it a completely different ride that the old I/O boat and a lot more room to work. Glad to see your finally getting to put her in the water.

I was able to fish Alex boat From 31 Bertram after I helped him rebuild her.
Makos and thresher's had a double going on the threshers.
Also fished a 32 Blackfin in Cabo blue marlin fishing.
Fished some friends boats lots of Pacifica's one monster in Cabo did a 95# marlin on 4# test Catalina Island Tuna Club record stood for 50 years also ran a 65 Drake and many more but the 31 much bigger than my 24 big step up for this old Poe Boy.
If the through hulls and everything do not leak to bad I will slowly motor out and see about vibration then go from there thank you for sharing your experience reminding me to take it easy great advice.

If anything like my yearly shakedown cruises you'll find a bunch of switches that worked fine on land hanging up, an overly drippy packing gland, maybe a new hatch or floor vibration , idle off a bit but overall not a whole lot that a little debugging can't fix.
Might want to keep the deck out so you can see what everything's doing while underway... Doesn't look like you'll have easy access to anything with that floor down...
