Thanks Canada Jeff, I live in Northampton MA, and leave her at my marina. This year will be a little tight to go for that ride, but next year I plan on exploring the other lakes. I spend 3 weeks on lake Champlain VT as well.
The only question I have so far is on the thru hull exhaust. It doesn't have silent choice, and I definitely want to be able to quiet her a bit. She 2002 left over with the 502 MAG.
Someone on the board was talking about the Teague marine switchable tips. they would be easier than pulling the engine to put the "Y" pipe for thru hub. But I don't know if it will be quiet enough?
Also the one who originally ordered her didn't have a swim ladder installed??? So I'm going to need some help choosing one that is strong enough for a 245lbs 6' guy:bigsmile:
The wife only weighs 105 lbs, I can just throw her on

But i need something.
take care
