I did not realize t-ville was so high, nor the debris such an issue, so I may wait a bit to take her out as I agree with the comment about screwing it up the first time out. To answer the questions on the boat, it is a 2009 Skeeter 200 ZX, with a 200 hp Yammy. I have not measured the height of the motor, to the boat, and honestly would never thought to do that anyway.

I did not deal with a salesman on the boat, it came in from TX as part of my team deal (yes I did buy/own it, but still no salesman), and they forgot to put the "Manuals" in the boat when it shipped. They are in route but I do not have the yet. On the new motor, I am supposed to keep it under 3500 rpm's for the first hour (already has a 1/2 hour on it from them "testing" it at the dealership) and then under 4500 for the second and third hours, with bursts of short full out, then during the 4th and 5th hours I can run it all out but not for "long periods" at a time. Man this stuff is confussing as all get out to be honest.

I appreciate all the help guys, I really do. I am going to try and contact a couple of you and see what we can work out for a time/place as I have 4 kids (2 playing b-ball) too. Thanks again for all the good input and I WILL film the first trip to the water with the wife and post it if it is funny.
