Afternoon Cruise to Point No Point
Skipper: Scott Karren
Guests: Mike Roddy, Tom Karren, Rob Karren
Weather: Partly cloudy and calm
Seas: Calm
Engine Hours: 3.2-5.1
Destination: Point No Point
Cruised to Point No Point and back. Glassy seas and no wind. What a great day to be out on the water! I called my wife at her office and told her how hard I was workign testing the boat so I can tell customers about how it handles.
Cruised at 16 MPH at 4500 RPM. Tested speed and turning ability of Motorcat 30. Glides through turns with almost no banking. Very stable. Had engines all the way down. No real difference. Will try next time at the 0 degree mark.
Teaching Thomas how to operate the boat. He is doing great at handling all the lines and bumbers while docking and launching the boat. He also loves driving and navigating. Thomas set way points for the local harbors on the GPS today.
Mike Roddy commented that he had forgotten how much he liked cruising and that he had to get a new boat. He identified this as a need, not just a want. (Mike used to live aboard a larger cabin cruiser.)
The MC30 really draws attention! A neighbor at the harbor in Kingston saw us hauling the boat out on the trailer and walked around the bay just to talk to us about the Motorcat. He stayed and talked to us for 20 or 30 minutes while we trailered the boat and washed it down.
Maintenance Issues:
Starboard speedometer not working at times.
