Haha yeah it's a hell of a rash!

I hope to be North of 80 mph with some set up but we'll see. It's got to serve as a family boat first, performance boat second. I got the tach harness wired in and it's ready to go other than the motor. It shouldn't be long hopefully when the motor comes back. I'd hope a day or two.

Well after some life events and the last three days of thrashing, the Vector got wet with the Johnny Rude 200. Lots of nerves last night at 930 when we put it in. Myself, the wife, and a good friend took the maiden voyage with zero issues. A little tuning and some stuff to button up, but she floats, lights right off with the key, and cruises at 30-32 mph at 3000R's.

Lots of negative trim and I'm thinking about transom shims, but I'm not sure about it yet.
