I meant First team.. and I have the 38 not the 36.

 

[F/V First Team]

Sorry, had to bug out to go to a "Meet the candidates" board since I am running for selectman here in town.

I have since voted.

And I run that speed often.

 

[lobstercatcher]

You must have bumped up into that next catagory a couple times..

Com'on .. spill the beans

 

[F/V First Team]

Broke the 40 mph barrier only once, and it wasn't on the course.
3-4' seas going into a headwind, but I was not comfortable with what we had adjusted on the engine to get that, timing was way too radical an engine with stock components.

Sure was fun though, didn't bother looking at the speed when we swung around and headed back in with the wind and waves though.

 

[Blacktide]

26 knots top, cruise at 18 most of the time.
Northern Bay 36 lugger 500
