im in no big hurry.. if you can get time stop down when weather straightens up . they have some nice condos right by the slips. bring the libby. water warms up fast. my slip is about 10 min from where you picked up the liberator at steve's marina. i can send you more info if you like.
Thanks bill

Re: new motor has arrived
According to Hot boat, they tested at 2003 Heat, stepped hull, with a 500EFI and they posted a speed of 77.9 mph. They also tested a 2000 Heat which I believe this a stepped hull with a 502mpi at 62.3. I ran my boat(99 heat non step) last weekend in Lake Michigan, water temp is still about 45-50, air temp in the 70's. I ran 62 flat on the GPS with 4 people in the boat and 60 gallons of fuel.
Hope this helps
