Finally got the XP150 finished...except...

Just make sure you put oil in the fuel tank also and mark your oil tank and prime the oil side. Mark your oil tank and make sure it is pumping. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

Appreciate the reminder http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif
I actually already did that before I ran it the first time. Of course, since the pump was squirtin fuel, I didn't get to run it long enough for the oil level to drop.

Hopin for a break in the storms this weekend to run it again http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/cold1.gif

I'll let you know how it goes.

Hmmmm, 3000 rpm (45 mph) and 4-5 lb smallmouth @50' deep lake?

Mighty deep lake and very fast boat. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif

Yeah Melvin, I was out running laps for 2-1/2 hours today. With cool fall air, 1/2 full fuel tanks, empty livewells, and no fishing gear on board, I hit 70 MPH twice on the GPS http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eek.gif. I only bumped it up to full power a couple of times. She's usually running in the mid-60's when loaded for fishing http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/glasses.gif

It gets kinda boring (and cold http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/cold1.gif ) running in circles, but I'm willing to follow the break-in procedure to the letter, after all the work I've done!!!
