46 Markley
 

Completed the USCG inspection and got some new pics. All went well - Certified for 17 + 2. The Delaware Bay was at 3-4 feet so we got to see how she rode in less than desirable conditions - we were pleased. At 17kts we were burning 12 GPH - not too shabby for a heavy 46' boat. 23kts on the pin. Probably see a knot or two more on a calm day.
Power is a Cummins QSC 8.3 490 (Has 804 hours on it).

We plan to move it to Deale next weekend - ice should have receded enough by then.

We already have the trolling valve purchased and a welder on standby for roof rod holders.

Few engineering pics.

Ample room around the engine to work on it.

Bilges are all spotless.

And the wiring is exceptionally squared away.

She's a sweet looking rig!! Maybe we can all pitch in a few bucks and buy you some life jackets, it obvious you don't have nearly enough!!! :D

May she bring you much joy ( and $) !!

Tawn; the pics were great. Thanks for posting them. I simply can't wait to "pinch a loaf" in the head:eek:

Congratulations
5th

Congratulations on the new ride! She looks sweet. Always have loved Markley's. Diesel fumes in the morning, smells like......... Victory!

Tawn,
You just don't find a vessel that clean every day. She's pretty. I'll bet the seller had a hard time letting her go. Congrats and be careful on the trip down.

I agree, That boat looks extremely clean.

That looks more 100 hrs than 800. Really nice.

Markleys are tough boats.

Congrats on getting her.

One favor - next time out of water , take 4-5 photos of running gear. Big help to a diver if you need one.

Very Nice! Congrats! I'm sure we will be seeing her in the neighborhood quite frequently
