Took the boat out today with my dad to Boca Chita while my mother and girlfriend were out shopping.

Test Conditions:
Bay was a very very light chop, north wind about 10 mph.
220 gal. of fuel
2 people (320lb)
Frigid Rigid cooler full of ice and drinks
Water tank FULL
NO TRIM on tabs

For some wierd reason, the GPS was reading between 1-1.5 mph faster than the Vessel View.

The Vessel View system is trick. I hate it when you post pictures of it!!!!!

I WANT IT!!!!!!!

Nice numbers, Luis. The decent cruise figure means you can go boating without having to fill out a loan application at the fuel dock.

so you topped out at 59+. That is sweet....i was out today too on that SH 29 trial thru stiltsville, to bug, then back to my place....must have just missed you. What an amazing day!!! That vessel view is a must have. It is only $1000 more or less.

If I was setting up a new boat it would have a vessel view and then two link guages on each side that monitored water pressure and water temp at all times.....the disadvatage of the Vessel view is there are so many things on so many pages, you toggle a lot....there are some things I want to see at all times in an analog fashion. All link guages just plug into the back of the vessle view so you just drill the hole and plug them in..nothing more....Like this (not to scale):

The 59 MPH wasn't my WOT. I hit 61.2 closer to home. For reference sakes, 61 is WOT on this boat.
