Excellent! Guess the next NY/CT GTG will have to be down at the slip.

It went very well, she ran good. Only minor problem is whoever changed the fuel filters last fall didn't fully tighten the injector lines so two started to leak. Thought it was a major problem, but when we popped the hatch saw the fuel and tightened them right up. Ran much better after that!

The other thing which I'm going to have to play with is its not quite coming up to speed. I'm getting 2,450 and not 2600 out of it. We checked the tack on the dash and its surprisingly dead on, go figure. But we photo tacked it anyway and that's all you get. So I think I might send the prop out this winter to be tweaked a bit. I think if they take a bit of pitch off it and clean it up I might get to 2,600rpm's.

All in all its a nice boat, I'm going down their tomorrow morning to pay them and do the paper work. When I get back in from sailing later in the day were going to bring it over to the slip.
