went very well. That 18 footer with the 150 hp Yamaha is a screamer, but I
only got it up to 3900 RPM. The day turned out beautiful, if a little cool
and breezy. The boat handled the small (one foot) chop in the Rappahannock
River with ease, and I was very impressed with the engine. The engine
rocks, almost noiselessly. At 3500 rpm I could carry on a conversation with
the maintenance guy in a normal tone of voice.

I left it at the dealer to get the radio and antenna installed, and will
pick it up this coming Saturday. It's fun becoming excited about boating
again! Hell, fishing may even start consuming some of my golf time!

My better half is quite thrilled with the boat and can't wait to get on the
Potomac and check out some of our favorite 'boaters' beaches'.
