Finally launched yesterday.A portion of our marina is on a river and they have to dredge every spring and that requires a government permit and they only got that finished a week and a half ago. Then the weather decided not to cooperate for launching and they had a few days where launch was cancelled due to insainly strong winds and huge surge. We were waiting foir the shop to install new circulating pumps so finally yestrday the planets aligned - work done, winds light, sun out and splash.:smt038
Only issue we had was the starboard engine would not suck water so after trying to 'burp' the system at the watrer strainer my friend and I pulled some hoses and got the engine drinking again. Felt so good hearing those engines come to life and cruising down the river to our basin. Docking was not picture perfect but OK for he first in 6 months on what is still a new baot to us (got it end of last summer and hauled out in Oct). Todat - blie blue sky - oh yea!!:grin:
