Finally hit the water !!

After many weeks of work getting the new boat set up to go, finally -- today made the maiden voyage.
Could not scare up anyone Fri. or Sat. to get out with (awful quiet around here with MSBA at the Cape leg Tri-State ) and did not think a good idea to do alone.

Got my hands full, getting up to speed with a new boat and the electronics.

Thanks to Van for offering a few hours of his time and expertise.
Thanks to team Sea Monkey for the radio entertainment.
Nice seeing Raider Rons rig (nice boat)

Got to remember that trim tab controls work bassakwards on the switch - thought I had them up and out of the way - came back in and discovered they were all the way down.

Also while manuvering in the driveway, clipped the rear 1/4 of my daughters $hitbox ---- no damage to the boat - so all is well.

Hey Bettle,
Congrats on the new toy!!! You dont have to thank us for the radio usage. As long as you had fun, that's all that matters!!

Something from - "Car 54 Where Are You" I beleive that I used to ramble off when I was a kid.

Moosie - it's not bettle as in kettle - it's beetle - as in pest.

I think I have to pay my dues out there before I'm shown spots such as area 51 -
Captain Morgan's if I remember correct ??
