No sea trials today. Spent the day at the dock letting the fiberglass guys do some additional work while I tried to figure out why one of my Victron Orion's won't recognize remote switching and why my Axiom 9 plotter and NMEA0183 kit won't talk to my VHF. Had my Dad on board working on mounting some TaylorMade fender holders and we started on mounting a large deck box on the foredeck.
We did manage to move the boat out of the Travelift well, over to the fuel dock and then into a slip under its own power. The boat handles well at low speed with Sky's old props!
Once I get that deck box fully mounted and the fiberglass guy finishes his work for the day I hope we can get the no load WOT test and Sea Trials done tomorrow.

Sea TrialDid the sea trials on Monday, she ran well with no unusual vibration. There is some tweaking to do. WOT was 24mph at just over 2700rpm on the 50 year old tach where the port side doesn't display. I'm hoping to check again with the photo tach. It looks like we get a 17mph cruise at 2200rpm and 18mph at 2300rpm.

I didn't realize there were photos. Nice clean tight wake. Not a big fat trough. These boats from the era seem to love to run at 20 kts +. Loos good.

Dayum! That's moving for a MY. 23 is about where mine tops out too. The 36 hull wants to live at that speed. Unfortunately, the power will not. How does the 53 ride at that speed?
