Congratulations. Nice boat. Big too.
They definitely are more efficient on the water than the road

Sweet..
The Hemi dropped that much in MPG?
When I pulled by 25' Four Winns my F150 never dropped that much. It went from 15 to 13.5.
Either way nice toon there..
Going out next week to purchase one and I am still not sure what yet.

Yep 2010 Hemi. Gets 18-20 empty but I could hook a shopping cart on the back and it drops to 10.

Hey, I'm real happy for you considering the length of time you had to wait. Very handsome boat you have there! Crest was my first choice. Too bad the sales guy wasn't on his game.
My F150 with the twin turbo 6 cyl ecoboost will get 22-24 on the road, but drops to 9 with the Harris hooked up.

Thanks guys. I keep the boat 3 hours away and have a good certified Verado tech close to where the boat is but hopefully wont need. As far as Crest, we have a few issues that need taking care of but the dealer is willing to ship parts to a local dealer in the area and pay them to repair . I actually told him ship me the parts I would rather do the work myself.
No windscreen was installed , factory oversight. furniture had one seat cushion that was missing the accent stripe, how does that happen??, missing one of the cover poles , need 5 had 4 , rear anchor light missing a screw, trailer had no load guides because they shipped the wrong ones , again , how does that happen ?? Minor stuff and I am not trailering it back at 7mpg for stuff I can do myself and I like working on boats anyways.
The boat itself is a beast. I got the break in time on it and then was out on a windy white cap day with 9 people and a dog on board. We cruised right past all the bow riders bouncing around in the waves while i trimmed up and flew by at 40 mph. Got 48 with 47 gallons of fuel and myself . I think she will hit 50 once she loosens up a bit. I may drop to a 15 also as I still have about 500 rpm on the table. Verado club says let it get 20 hrs before swapping props.

I get 4 with my Tahoe, thus I have on order a Dodge Ram Ecodiesel soon to arrive in 3 weeks. The mileage is awful.
