Finally took the boat to the lake for testing.
The boat ran ok, but not perfect. Its a 28ft cabin cruiser, beds, kitchen with microwave, bath with shower, enough to live on for a few days. My top speed was 50.8 MPH GPS, I complained to my engine builder still needs some more work. So no diving yet & I have to put it away for a few weeks until I sell my house & I still have the cleaning party to do, a day cleaning the boat for a day diving....
