Put her in the water on Friday the weather was so dam bad I only took her out once. I have to tell you guys the rush was great got her up to 67 and the bay was ruff have to get use to a couple of things like the trim tabs and the drives, when they should be in or out but I'll get it.
Found out the boat was run in freshwater me being the rookie that I am I will be running it salt water never thought to ask about a flush kit guess what it doesn't have one and i need something for the sea weed too.

Question when you get going do you guys use the trim tabs or the drives to get the boat on top ?
I have had 2 different responses

heres a few pictures of the boat on the lift and the house.

If you ever need to work on the boat, you have a test pond to run it in. :bigsmile:

Nice looking boat, be sure to get it flushed salt water loves to eat motors

Nice looking set up. I always tuck the drive under and drop the tabs some to get on plane. Once the boat planes out, depending on speed and load I adjust the tabs where I need them and try to keep the trim at a neutral setting. Seat time is the key to effective use of tabs.

Get a cover!

You should invest in a full cover to keep that nice boat nice!! The sun will make that boat look 10 years old in one year out in the sun like that!
I just cover my boat with a Wal-Mart Tarp that measures 30x16. It's the best $22 I've spent.

not if you're $22 tarp doesn't block UV Rays - might as well leave the boat out in the direct sun. I agree that some protection is better than none, but fabrics made for boat covers such as Sunbrella(tm) block UV rays which destroy gelcoats.

sunbrella material:

Thanks to its unique construction process, Sunbrella provides protection and years of service in intense sun areas, like Arizona and other areas of the Sunbelt, where UV rays will rapidly degrade both the exterior and interior of any vehicle left outdoors.

Because of the use of acrylic fibers which are naturally UV resistant, Sunbrella has long been the recognized leader in long-wearing marine fabrics for bimini tops, sail covers and deck enclosures.

Besides marine uses, Sunbrella is also used for commercial awnings due to its ability in providing UV blockage with a rich, woven finish. The acrylic fibers are solution dyed, before the fabric is woven, to assure the color goes all the way through the fabric. Using a special finish process, the material is then softened for use as a vehicle cover fabric.

The fabric is exceptionally strong and, coupled with its UV resistance, it also makes an excellent cover for RV's and trailers that spend extended time stored outside.

Long-Lasting Strength - Acrylic fibers suffer minimal loss of strength from exposure to heat, moisture and UV.

Fade Resistant - Colors are a result of pigments which are actually built into the fibers (solution dyed), instead of just dying the finished fabric.

Water Resistant - Treated for moisture resistance (but, remember, this material is primarily for UV protection).

Rot, Mildew Resistant - Acrylic fibers resist growth that occurs in moist environments.

Material colors available - Pacific Blue, Sky Blue, Cadet Gray, Jet Black, Toast, Burgundy

Ahhh yes young Jeffery. You have a point. And, my $22 tarp does block UV as one of the sides is silver...
My boat is out in the Fl sun, and looks like a million bucks! (for $22)

 

[Tim G.]

Sunbrella is best. We use it on the canopies for our lifts.
I'd like to have a full Sunbrella cover for my boat, but... I'm too cheap!
A cover for a 30' boat would cost $12-1800 beans!
