After 4 MONTHS of sitting in a mechanics shop (Boat sat for 3 years with 150 HPDIs on it. Send donations to pledges to scott@scotts180.com) I finally got to run this boat for the first time yesterday. I have a few items to work on from this shakedown, but overall I'm impressed. She ran 36 MPH on one engine, getting on plane in around 5 seconds. 49mph trimmed out with both 150s engaged. One engine has a miss, so back to the shop, but overall she did well.
The trim tabs are non functional (New pump came in yesterday so ill get to that) so she is a little stern heavy and porpossed a bit, but I think the tabs will cure that.
New Vinyl is done, New Canvas on the T top tomorrow. New baitwell pump installed, New sidescan Hummingbird 898c HD SI, new VHF done, new washdown pump later...and tackling some electrical gremlins. I hope to have her breaking the plane of the inlet by next week for some nearshore shakedowns. And the kings are getting close
