31 in the water finally
Splashed the 31 this past Friday for the first time since I got it a year ago. Put about 1 1/2 hrs on it (for a grand total of 6 1/2 hrs) and the yanmars ran great! Was wondering if they would get enough air with only the gunwale vents but we popped up the engine boxes while underway and the tachs stayed steady so seems like it's getting plenty. Topped out at 3950. Is that about right?

I was so stoked about how great she was running that I totally forgot I had a camera in my pocket! I had John Patnovick from Worton Creek with me and he finally said "there's Baltimore over there, how far you plan on going?"

Congrats Bob! And yes, 3950 on the pins is what I was told by the pros for my old 6LPs.
