She looks like a great boat. Congratulations. Now you have had time to digest the trip and the initial exitement has worn off a bit please tell us how you found handling a larger boat.

Mark,
Are you saying I talk too much?
Boat ran flawlessly and trip was awesome.
Walter did good overall once he got used to the electronic shifters.
Boat does not get pushed at all in the wind and the bite in the water is huge.
Churned a little mud at the entrance to the marina but that will go away as more boats run over it. Boat pushes alot of water.
Funny, I want one but I don't want one. It's alot of boat but the engine room is just so freaking awesome!! To me, that is the best part of the boat for some reason. The room down there is amazing.

Many, many, MANY blessings to you. Very excited for you. I cruised 70 miles of the TN River with my friend and fellow RO Ted38M and dropped our trawler off to fix the tornado damage- we pondered how your day was going and glad all went well. Best wishes to you always. Your new boat is beautiful.
Walter - congrats - the new ride looks beautiful.
Tony - it was funny that we were all out on the water at the same time - and BTW its Ted36m not Ted38m - next thing you know you'll be having ME buy a bigger boat :-)

Andy,
Cruise I believe is 2180 RPM, at 21 MPH and burns 34GPH. I think this is the best cruise based on a buddy of mine that owns the same boat. Think WOT is around the 2800 range and top speed is 30MPH. Ask again in a few more trips, I will then be more accurate on my findings.
Thanks again all, it was a blast.

Thanks Dan,
Really nice that my friends took a day off of work to comfort me, and help me. It's great having this boat, but one thing I will never forget is how my friends really pulled together for me, that feeling is way better than having this boat.

Thanks for sharing your "event" with us all.
It is nice to have the BoaterEd guys around.
Wish I had the same here...

Congrats on your success.

Walter, congratulations. That is a very nice boat and by now you would probably agree that the bigger they are, the easier they are do drive. Have a ball.

Docking the boat seemed to be easier, once I get use to the "electric shifters" I think it will be easier than my gas 34C. I had a problem docking her because I thought on of the motors was in neutral while in reality it was still in gear.

Congrats Walter, she's a gem.
And a nice bow pole for the BE ensign to fly on!
