Finally got to run the boat yesterday!! Yay!!!!!!
Everything went pretty well. I ran with the motor cover off and the rear floor section removed so that I could inspect things as we went along.

THE GOOD
1. Real happy with the prop! I barely had to give it gas to pull up wakeboards, much less throttle than my previous standard 13x13's (even the 4-blade!) Top end was about 3mph faster - up to 43+
2. Alignment seems to be good - no vibrations!!!
3. New PSS shaft seal never dripped a drop
4. Motor is running strong, starting good, sounds good, looks good . . . . .

THE NOT-SO GOOD
1. When I ran the motor at WOT I found a leak at one of the valve cover gaskets, and I forgot to pack my tools. So I wiped up the mess and kept her below 2500rpm. Easy fix. (note to self - put tools back in the boat!)
2. Fuel is leaking somewhere from the fuel filter. I had it all apart over the winter so probably didn't get something sealed. Should be an easy fix as well.
3. The new PSS shaft seal boot seems to have a wobble in it a around 800-1200rpm. When it wobbles it kind of makes a "clicking" sound as well. When I run at cruising or towing speeds, no wobble, no noise. Not sure about that one. Anybody got experience or suggestions?

We will probably get back out either today or tomorrow, or maybe both after making some adjustments.
