I have been non-stop with the moving into the new place since last Saturday, but I took the time yesterday to get the boat running and check the systems. Tach was wired wrong, fixed that. Fuel guage is wierd, so I need to recheck wiring on that, but the biggest difficulty was simply getting it running. It cranked and cranked and cranked, and it turned out the fuel wasn't flowing. Fixed that, and it fired right up. My new neighbors loved it I am sure. 8:00 at night, loudass Merc a blazin'. <br /><br />Checked everything out one last time today, and Saturday morning is the launch date. If all is well, I will cruise it straight to my dock (I love how that sounds) and she will be there until Fall. On a side note, the guy across the inlet from me had a slight boat sinking icident, and it was fun watching them haul it up onto the shore with a tow truck enough to drain it with a pump. Its okay now.

Best of luck and I'm sure she'll ride like a champ. After all, she is a glastron...<br /><br />chunky

Chunky, actualy its a Silverline, and it rides better than a Glastron, it has a deeper V to it, so it cuts through the rough pretty good. JasonB is the one with the kickin' Glastron T166 project going. Too many tri-hulls all of a sudden... :p
