4.7 hrs on the new rig, still doing the break in thing. No video at the moment. Wish I had more time for a full report. Sorry for the delay.

The 22 is very wide and stable. I ran the Gulf for 10 miles and found that the big V up front really works and keeps you dry. I got tabs for the shallow water hole shot. Boat really does not need them, as it naturally runs flatter than a non-step boat. Maybe in a big quartering sea you would want tabs.

Running data: 40 mph cruise was getting 4.2 mpg at around 3,600 rpm. My test load was full fishing gear, 75 gals fuel, 5 batteries and TM on bow, 94 degree air, 89 degree water temp. Made a couple of short WOT runs turning a 23 Razor 4 at 5,700 rpm - ran 64-65 depending on chop and wind. I have some props to play with and winter air temps will improve these numbers.

IBW did a great job on the rigging and layout.
