    MY splashtime-gctid383575

    Launched her in Cook Inlet for a "test" run this weekend.

    Ran nice and smooth once it warmed up, Running 3600 RPM, 30.2 mph and burning 6.4 gph. Tested all functions (well except bilge pumps, those were tested before I launched)

    Only problem is the wifes potty doesn't work (tried testing it before anyone used it) It doesn't want to draw water into the bowl, but if you pour water in it it pumps it out fine. I pulled the top of the pump off and the rubber (nitrile?) flapppers look like I do, old and well worn. So that needs to be fixed before we go out this coming weekend. All in all we were only out a few hours.

    There may have been the slightest vibration when under power and turned over hard, cv joint? maybe gimble?

          I dunno which prop I have, I will look tonight and see.

          According to the gps that came with the boat top end is over 40 But to tell you the truth, I just ain't in that much of a hurry, plus then it goes to like 13 gph. I tend to not go faster than the dolphins. They like to play in the bow wake so I let them.

                  Oh yea, we have Dall porpoise, Harbor porpoise and pacific white sided dolphins, when they are around they like to "ride" the bow wake (personally I think they are racing me and laughing as they beat me)

                  It is time to see the whales breaching too.

                  I will get pics for ya. I need to make a online pic album one of these days too.
