AN Observation........what are you using for a helm pump? That is a lot of turning lock to lock. Don't ask me how I know.

Thanks!!! I can't wait to actually put her in the water, maybe this weekend!

The hydraulic steering is an entire IMCO kit. The steering is 8 turns lock to lock. Is that alot?

I'm not saying you can't get use to it, but I couldn't. I have a friend that prefers it like that. The stock cable steering I think is ~4 lock to lock. I just pulled my hynautic helm out for this reason. I now have a char lynn that works off the steering pump. It should be 3-4 lock to lock if my calculations are right.
You might not even know the difference if you have never had it out.
Now lets see some vids of it on the water!!

The boat ran fantastic! Made a few fast passes but nothing crazy, basically just broke her in!

couple small things to adjust/fix but nothing major! I am stoked!
