Beautiful boat, congrats. She should fly with that motor. Where do you run it?

Twenty years old? No way. Beautiful boat. What’s the top end with that motor? More pics welcome!

Well our first sea trial didn’t go well. Before we got her to the lake I fell off the boat getting from the swim platform to a 5’ ladder slipped on the top step and fell to the ground, ended up at ER with a fractured tibia, WTH!!!. So we have a question what’s the secret for a 75 year ole guy getting into the boat when it’s on the trailer?. Pls I don’t want to hear sell it!! Thanks all

Sorry to hear about your fall - it happens. I work on my boat cleaning etc quite a bit with it on a wash rack at my marina. It's pretty high, would not want fall off - I use one of those step stools with a hand hold that is more like walking up steps than climbing a step ladder.

Thanks we purchased a nice alum. 5 step stool but I stepped off in socks and my foot slipped off the top. I guess I’ll have to crawl off on all fours!

Ouch sorry. Use a ladder of some sort and add seadek to the platform and walk through so it's not slippery. Also watch your shorts for getting caught on the ladder release. If they get caught your going down again don't ask me how I know.
