Yep, this is the first year my boat stayed home for the winter.
I will be out in B-Bay tomorrow morning for a skakedown.
I was at the Bourne Marina today, G+S had boats and trucks all over the place water testing a lot of boats today.

Missing it looks good. I'm hoping mine will be home this coming weekend, then it's off to the slip.

I was going to try to get mine home today!

The dealer has had it for almost 3 weeks to fix a scratch.

I think I am at the bottom of the list. (Bastards)

I have a new Lowrance 335C DF to install.

And my VHF to put in.

New Boat (picked it up last fall)

I CAN NOT WAIT!

Bigcat,

I kind of swore them off when I did that last year last week in March I took my boat out for 25 minutes most and they put a tag on my truck to collect there $ 10.00 kind of pissed me off it will probably come down to that though because I can't wait much longer.

if you really really cant wait-- i bet we could help you launch. just tie up to the side at high tide you will be all set.

What size motor do you have on that Hydra Sports?

What size?

I ask because I just got a Hydra Sports 212 With a 175 merc Optimax.

I was only getting a top speed of 30.

Wonder how yours is?
Have you had it long? Any problems with it?

Thanks

Angler that is a 225 FICHT it will top out at 40 can cruise at 30 wihtout it being wound up. If my memory serves me correct 5600 RPM WOT I don't know if you have a Ficht or not but there is a world of difference.

The boat is a 2450, you may want to check sounds like you are running the wrong prop

Thanks Vectorfisher

I tried a new prop last year. 19pitch to a 21pitch.

Have not had a chance to run it yet. The tach was running high

maybe this weekend. Looks like the weather is going to be ok for Saturday.

AM sounds like you needed a prop change, previous to this boat I had a 23' Sunbird Neptune W/A same hull as the Hydra Sports 23 Bay or Lighnting boats it had a 4.3 V6 I/O and would top out at 35 4700 RPM's I think HP was rated at 190 in that boat

Link FYI the small piers at Tempest Knob are in, the dock at the end isn't yet. Went out today for a couple hours, had to go and harass the G+S people sea trialing boats Went by a Key West 23' W/A they had out like it was standing still they had so many people on board they were working it keeping it on plane.

Keep her in the driveway. I launch at Cashman's in Newburyport. Also, head down south of the cape quite a bit and launch in CHild's River. Occasionaly launch out of Marshfield, Green Harbor.
