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.

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

No been to busy, I really had the itch to pull the trigger today though!! I will probably go out Saturday in Bourne if there are no piers in Wareham, I did notice a 24-26' Hydra Sports Vector CC moored in the harbor today when I went buy so thats a good sign

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.
