Last Saturday our Outrage left the driveway to her slip and we got a chance to take her out a bit over the weekend. Both motors ran well - the Doelfin seems to help it get on plane considerably faster (this is the smaller model I had for the 8 hp on our dinghy - seems to work fine on the 150). There are a couple of small knicks in the prop - I have a spare SS prop that I'll clean up and try to see if that helps with the "hole shot"accelleration. We didn't clock her, but she seemed to move along fine at 4200 -4600

She still sits low in the stern so after this season I'll probably go to a truck stop and weigh it. Bilge pumps in the forward and well sumps seem to be working well - we took a big wake and the bow planted through the third set bringing a good gush of green water over the bow - cleared in about a minute.

Having the steering linked to the kicker is nice but next season it will need the dual controls. I really appreciate all the help from everyone on the site - will try to get a few pix posted.

Thanks again...
