Finally picked up the new boat

[doubleheader]

Hi Lew, just in case you aren't aware of this potential problem I thought I'd mention it here since you mentioned you plan to troll alot with your new 150 Yammie. Four strokes need to be broke in properly and then run hard when new to set the rings properly. I trolled alot with my Verado when it was new (after break-in) and I experienced the problem of "making oil". It's not uncommon. Check this out. It's an older thread but you'll get the idea. Just in case you weren't aware. Beautiful rig- good luck

Nice looking boat there Lew, congratulations, one quick question:

 

Do you think it will be a bit easier, or a bit more challenging, to land Musky by yourself in the new boat?

[fishnsled]

Great looking ride Lew. Now get out there and enjoy the season!

[bigfish1965]

Thanks for that link doubleheader, it's some interesting stuff. I'm always extremely cautious whenever I'm breaking in a new motor of any kind and follow the instructions very carefully.

Very nice Lew now you have to go easy the break in begins.

 

Mine Is pretty well broken in 7 more hours to go and I will change the oil.

 

So far so good I like my new Yamaha 60HP.
