Very nice build, she's a beauty. Congratulations! It looks like she scoots along with that 90 horse engine, any performance figures yet?

I've been in Mississippi for the past week, when I got here I had 5.8hrs on my motor....I now have 39hrs on her and couldn't be happier.

I'm running a 19pitch prop and right now at WOT - 43.5 mph 5200 rpm
I've been in water like glass and 4ft seas 35miles out....no problems 8)

that's a pretty good measure of happiness, how many hours you get to put on your motor :)

Nice flounder too 8)
