First 3-Hours...

... of Break-In are done! Went throught the perscribed RPM ranges with a complete cool down at the 1.5-hour mark... Briefly opened her up at the 3:05 mark and she hit 72 or so on the speedo (GPS not yet installed)...

25p Fury seems to run strong - but won't know until the full 10-hours are done..

Man what a ride though http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif Lovingly called the 181 'Black Magic' on water... May have to call this one 'Silver Bullet'... More pics below for inquiring minds...

Great looking boat. I have a 198 and usually see 70 gps with 225 hpdi. Best is 71.6. 198 is a awesome fishing platform http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

Nice and clean! See a hot foot in your future.

I want it. When I buy my next boat I take a serious look at the 198/202s. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif

And maybe one of those fancy treadplates like you have to mount it on http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif It'll be a fun winter out in the garage for sure... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

Man....that's a good lookin boat! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

sweet boat. i have a 96 186 and a 6 month old 175 opti xs. why is the 25 fury too much? that's what i have and it's a hair too much from 63-67 without a load. it chine walks bad with no load but doesn't at all with some weight in it. you'll enjoy 4 mpg.

Beautiful Rig,,I've grown fond of the white boats myself. Looooooking goooood!!!! ENJOY http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif

I have an 05 198 and I'm envious - good looking boat. Get the Hot foot and pro trim - you won't regret it.
