Splashed her today!
Submitted by alfred on Mon, 2008-09-15 21:31
Made a last minute decision this morning to wet the hull, even though I still have one last bit of kit to install and all in all I am really happy with the new tub!
Till came along for the sea trail and helped take some pics.
Tranny setup worked a treat with depth showing all the way up to WOT (39knots), but didn't go deep today, as it was just a shake down run.
Much better ride then my old tub - punched out thru the swells at 25knots and only started slapping at 30 knots. I am going to love going to the FADs with her!

Not a good idea to smoking a pipe when you're sitting at a PC

Haha yeah, my toy boat
Haha yeah, my toy boat arrives this week and it will seem a little underdone compared to Alfred's.
Thats one awseome ride! I think Alfred worked out it can probably do 20kn in the 3m swell, and one of our failed fads trips last year we turned around at just 8kn in similar sized seas.

Hey the steering wheel is on the wrong side.
Do you need a sign saying, caution, left hand steer?
You have any issues with roundabouts?
