New (to me) boat

#1 Post by STEVEBRENDA » Mon Jul 30, 2018 1:21 pm

Picked up our new to us 2014 Regency last Friday - time we upgraded from our 2003 Mercury 125. Interior is really nice and plush.
Being a four stroke, it is almost scary how quite it is. Power steering is great and did I mention it has a Mercury 250L Verado Pro hanging off the back? :nana 125 Hours on the meter and I know who previously owned it and it was serviced by Bass Pro mechanics.

Highest I could get it was 49 MPH, could break the 50 mark.

I'm a very happy camper this week. :biggrin2

I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people.. I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out.

No, not in my front shirt pocket. We carry this wimpy nylon "boat bag" that we place things like keys, wallets, phones, etc. in. The bag was wide open, with the tall side toward the water. I set the bag in the bag, but it hit the correct side but he tall side was too wimpy and fell backwards. Definitely tell the sound of a cell phone hitting the water.

Still cannot break the 49 mph barrier.

The people that previously owned jumped up to a 350. They buy a new boat every 4 years or sooner. They have come to like tri-toons.

Great looking boat -- you will get many years of enjoyment out of that one. One of these days, I'll finally get to upgrade my current boat as well.
