Took the boat out for the first time today! It started right up and ran well with no surprises - seemed to like about 2800-3000 rpm - hung out at the sandbar for awhile then took a cruise into miami (from north miami) and toured a couple of canals before returning to the dry stack - i think i burned about 2 gallons of gas - old boat (30' twin I/O cruiser would have burned over 20!
