Ron,
Congrats, FT 525 looks awesome. You get so used to seeing them on dollies in the shop but once they are in the water they take on a whole new look.
Miss PatriYacht shouldn't be too far behind!
Enjoy yourself & be safe!

Hey Guys:
I finally have some time to respond regarding my sea trial on Thursday.
My idling problem was fixed with just a change of a part. The engine is very strong and just purrs like a kitten. One thing that I really liked about the engine compartment was that the mechanic could really get in there and move around with little problem.
The boat with a single is very well balanced and just loves to dig into those corners and hold that turn. No skipping, as you probably would get with steps.
The lowering of the floor for the driver and passenger puts you deeper in the boat and the padding under it is easier on the back.
I also like the way the name of the boat is placed the deck.
We took pictures at this private island that had it's own exclusive 18 hole golf course. If you look closely at the pictures you can make the green out. We were in a bit of a rush, didn't want security to give us any trouble. But the backdrop for the pics was just perfect.
I'm really happy with the way the flag seems to fall into the water.
All in all it was a great day and I was really beaming with joy. The finishing touches should be completed by the beginning of the week and Barbie should be transporting Full Throttle to Connecticut on Wednesday if all goes as planned.
Thanks again JO, Pepe, Linda & Barbie.
