Well, finally got the Viking in the water instead of in the yard. Temp was in the high 70's, but the water is so cold it hurts. I ran high 80's without dialing anything in yet. What a blast. Thought I was fast until a guy with an STV River Rocket with 300 hp pulled up on me, and took off at 110!!!. I guess for what he spent he deserves it. On my budget, if I see 90 I'll be happy. Getting pics next time out. Hope it warms up for you guys in the tundra.

Re: First day of the season
Get it out early in the morning, although I watched my neighbor tear up his yard trying to get through the leftover show today.
