Thanks Georgs, yeah, it's way overdue, but happening.

Not too much data yet.  I have not been on any sea trials yet, Maxeld 
just put it in the water to test props.  I'm heading down there next 
week and should have more info then.  They reported a fuel burn of 
around 16 gph at 25 kts in 8 ft seas.  That's not too outa line with my 
expectations, though I hope I'm not running in those seas too much. 
Builder said handling was excellent...but I'll judge for myself.

This is my personal boat so we'll be using it to cruise/fish in SE 
Alaska and explore the Inside Passage.  At some point I'd like to run it 
up to Prince William SOund and out the Aleutians a ways, but no firm 
plans.
