RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] drive test



Dean,
 
  Should time permit during one of these harbor cruises, simply turn on the communications console and adjust the upper channels gain and volume controls. The two passive hydrophones are below your water line so picking up boat traffic and other ambients should not be a problem. If you find yourself too busy while underway, do this test pierside.

I got back to the water yesterday. About all we got done was to drive it around the harbor.
The lake was to rough to go out on, and still have a pin hole in my starboard saddle tank.
 
All in all it moves real good, did not make full power yet but 3/4 is real nice.
I for sure should make my 6knts
 No problem with cavitation or other nasty's, just smooth acceleration and hands off steering. My oversized rudder really does a nice job even at slow speed. If nothing else I solved the K boat wiggle
 
Jon Either I forgot how or something is not working on uploading new pics
 
Is it just me?
