I watched them rigging your boat while they worked on mine. I really like the storage space in that new "Marsh Special" AlWeld. Finally an aluminum boat with lockable storage. It actually has enough room under the rear seat and in the front compartment for anything you need. Rigged on mine all day. Just about done.

That is actually a little faster than I thought it would run, happy for you. I would have guessed mid 30's for that rig, I'm glad I was wrongI have just begun the break in on mine. I know my Merc 4 stroke really woke up after about 20 hours run time. Don't you love the storage space in that boat, unusual for an aluminum boat to have that much room
I have twisted the throttle a few times just to feel the jump. 40mph is really nice in those boats. They drive very predictable. That Edge I had would run like a scalded dog, but was unpredictable. I would be running along just fine and comfy around 45mph, the boat would all of a sudden start chine walking, hit the trim or burp the throttle and it would stop the rocking???? Never really got that boat figured out. Not mine any longer

Great looking boat Hunter! I need to swing by Lake Area and take a look at the new Alweld. No ribs up the side?

Nice boat neighbor...... I seen your boat the other day on your driveway and wondered if you were a member on here.
