Water Test Today was a big Success!
I launched the Skeeter after addressing the previous punch-list and all went very well after I dropped the Jackplate 1-1/2 inches. The prop slipped before lowering the engine and I couldn't trim the bow up at all. The 90hp engine turned the 20in Solas Hydro prop 5600 rpm for 45.1mph with a stiff headwind. The Voltmeter was not working & once the Livewell Timer turned on it would not turn off so that needs addressing. The boat loads like a dream, little effort is needed. Handling is also very good, much better with all the strakes Skeeter has in the hull design. The bow mounted Seat Base, the Offset Seat Pin, & the Folding Seat worked outstanding for Dockshooting as well as vertical Jigging. The Hand Trolling Motor with Reverse made staying stationary as well as facing the right direction in today's high winds much easier than a foot control TM like I have on the other boats. I think the very forward mounted/offset seat will be installed on other boats I own that do not use a foot control TM.
