Funny how quick the barracuda show up at some spots.

OK, have a few shots of her slipping in the gulf for her run home. Their are some loose ends that need to be wrapped, but fantastic run home. There were quite a few offshore swell that let us feel how she'll run offshore, and I know I have a lot to learn about trimming her properly.

We ran between 35 and 53 knots on the way down. She just ate whatever we threw at her and was ready more. Hard to describe really. It was unbelievable to have the smell of the saltwater and a 60 mph wind ripping past you.

I will have more that focus on the details in the next week or so. Gotta stay out and figure her out now.

Thanks everyone for sharing your time and offering many wonderful comments and support while I watched this dream come true.

It has been a pleasure sharing her with you.

Here you go:

Sure to be a head turner with that super jet black Awlgrip reflection and nice graphic layout, good luck.

I think I just got 16 footitis! All the add-ons look fantastic as does the boat, paint and graphics...oh..and my bank account just reached up and smacked me back to reality.

Enjoy the vessel and make sure you post pics of it doing what it was designed to do.

beachnut53 · 11-01-2009, 06:49 AM

I assume you will be keeping that work of art on a lift?

Any plans to tow her for any reason?

Again; congratulations...use it in good health and happiness.

Boat looks great. Congrats.

On a side note, can someone find the picture of the 42 with the full tower? I think it's a light blue boat here in Miami. I can't find the picture.

Thanks in advance.

Killer&Griller · 11-02-2009, 10:22 AM

Looks like we all saw the entire slow engine break in while idling out of the boat landing.......

Congratulations again.

lcosta01 · 11-02-2009, 05:31 PM

I'm glad to hear that Billy. I was going to switch to the Diawa Tanacom Bulls for the kites, but I'm so glad I didn't make the switch. The Kristals are super easy to operate, and the maintenance is easy. Glad it's treating you good.
