Congratulations on the long trek to grab that one. I remember how hard it was to track my own down and then navigate the sales process, arrange shipping to Hawaii from CA and then fly in, test drive, fly out and then sit on my hands for a week as it made its way across the Pacific. Lot of stress but SO worth the end result. 4yrs in and going strong.

Thanks everyone. She'll rest on my boat lift, minimal trailer use. I apperciate the mods advice.
BTW, she has a name now. "Sonho Meu" - means "my dream" in Portuguese and is also the title of an old school samba number I like.

Are you from Brasil?

I wont boat out at sea much (I am a lake boy). I would wait and see to install tabs. You would probably rock around 55 MPH with 45 GPH. Depending on conditions.

Sorry if you thought the "Are you from Brasil" comment was towards you. xD I was asking Eric because he named his boat in Portuguese.
