Successful maiden voyage with the Kaiyen… many smiles and oreo crumbs ground into the gatorstep!

Made some progress with the break in hours. Going from 3k to 4k rpm after 2 hrs on the clock was a cruel teaser for the full 5.4k potential. Boat handled the Conroe chop well... ready to fill up the ballast and surf already!

Few annoyances... the squared off bow burps spray straight forward when you hit wakes at idle speed which blows back onto the bow passengers if the wind is right. Engine cover rattles at idle, but that should be easy to remedy. Excited to learn more about the new girl.
