2020 Splash/Maiden Voyage Pics

Finally dropped our boat in the drink! Quick denaming and renaming ceremony and we were on our way. Great weather this past weekend in Ontario :)

Is this Brentwood?
If so, you will like it there.
We used to keep our 30 Sedan Bridge there years ago.

Sure is. First season at this marina so looking forward to it, have heard nothing but good reviews.

We were at the downtown Marina last year... different story.
 
I AM FINALLY IN THE WATER!
Took my first shake down trip. A quick trip out to my trolling fishing grounds, trolled for an hour or so, then headed back. About 30 miles all in.

Thought I would share the first power up on plane with you all. Those 1000hr 454's still purr like tigers and pop the boat on plane like its nothing. The only issue this spring is I think my 6 year old port/house 6v batteries are getting tired. Quick fix for about CA$350. Not bad.

Then when I got back to the fuel dock, there was a real POS of a boat blocking most of the dock.

Then 330 is such a great boat.
 
My slip mate took delivery of his Valhalla 33 which he custom ordered to match his Viking 68. They look good together at the slip. Both are beautiful boats. The 68 dwarfs my 52DB.

Great picture-enjoy your time together on the water and on the hook!

That is one beautiful bad ass boat. I love the sky bridge. Viking is one of my favorite boats.
 
Not a splash, but first overnight, weather has been terrible this spring, so was excited to get out. Flat calm run across, so happy letting her rip. One of the few places on the east coast where you can watch the sun set in the west over water, right about over Manhattan. Taken at Mt Sinai, Long Island NY this past Friday. Northport LI is on the itinerary for this weekend, maybe Manhattan following weekend based on inspiration from others here on the site.
