SHE GOES 1111

EC TOWNE splashes. Sea trial a resounding success. Here are a couple of pics in the water. Click on the pics to enlarge.

 Kids sitting on the end of the dock when we launched wanted to know if I built her.  Told them she was built in 1910 and I just cleaned her up a bit.

 Sorry, no pics underweigh. Did not bring my gps but am satisfied with her speed and very happy with the way she headed into the wind which was pretty strong out in the wide part of the lake.  I had heard that trolling motors were pretty much worthless against a strong breeze but not probe going along at half throttle.

 half throttle brings to mind the only problem. She vibrates a bit at full throttle.  I thought I had pretty tight tolerances at the top and bottom of the "well" but maybe not. Thinking of putting a grease fitting on the tube and packing her with heavy grease.  Should damp the vibe.
