No pictures to show, as today was a LOT of work, but we got it in the water. I took it up to 20 knots, we were running 1800 rpm. Prop curve on a cummins 210 at 1800 rpm is 4.6 gallons an hour. So a 20 knot at 4.6 gallons an hour beats my original 20 knots at 5.5 gph goal I was going to take it fishing tomorrow but the temp gauge won't work, I'm going to get that fixed tomorrow and then get some shots of it running hopefully and post some up here. It runs a lot flatter when I put people up in the front, when everybody was sitting on the box watching the gauges, it ran nose up in the air, but with harol and Mike sitting in the seats up front, it ran pretty level. I didn't get it running and try it out until 5pm, and we are still getting night rains here, and today around 4:30 it was a nasty storm. So that 20 knots at 1800 was in slop as well. More pictures soon,
