Well, finally got her up here yesterday and launched despite the tropical storm. Trailer needed 6 new spidles and 6 new wheels. Those mag wheels only allow for about 1/2" of stud to be used, broke 2 off so switched to regular wheels - good move, trailer was fine after that. Anyhow, started up engines (verados) and they are so quiet you can't even tell they are on. Jumped on plane and cruised up to my slip. This boat is bigger than I thought it would be. Been on a 31' Wellcraft CC, but this 34 seems way bigger. Electronics are very cool. 2 Raymarine c120's, TR1 Gladiator auto pilot, 4 ft open array radar, cmd-4 sirius stereo, etc. Hope the learning curve goes quick. I have always wanted that auto pilot. Have had Robertsons' & Simrad, but this is really over the top. If Rich's Inlet is deep enough to cooperate, hope to get some sailfish or anything on her later this week!
