But it’s mine.
Ladies and gentleman may I present to you the
USS EPG!
I’ve had it since late October and it hasn’t seen water yet. Putty it into the soup in 5 minutes.
Let me say that the electronics are a bit overwhelming.

Pics would be nice. Just sayin. 
Congrats EPG! Enjoy that first shake down cruise.
Heck yeah nice rig. But are you trying to watch the front screen from the back seat or what ?
That bear statue is epic.
That bear statue is epic.
LOL that’s what I noticed immediately too. #ROAR
Mount that bear to the front deck and tape a corona to each of it’s paws!
It’s probably to late but don’t forget to put the plug in.
Nice rig EP.
If you want some help with the settings let me know, I need a tour of Roosevelt for walleyes, I fished it for smallmouth not for walleyes.
Awesome EPG. Looks great!
Heck yeah nice rig. But are you trying to watch the front screen from the back seat or what ?
Looks like a screen back there too.
Sweet rig. I hope it came stock with some nice rod lockers and they are used so your custom rods don’t get stepped on. 
It’s a good thing you are unsure of how to use your electronics. That will leave a couple of fish left for the rest of us. Good luck.

With that open mouth, it almost looks like it could be a covert pull tab dispenser that just spits them out.
nice setup EPG!!!!!!!!! is Iowaboy allowed in it?????

I was teasing him about how the front one was set up
Geez EPG, I figured you would know how to use the cupholders at least! LMK when you need some lessons, I’ll even bring my own beer, no promises on fishing success but can guarantee a good time!
Lots of room for beverages in that rig.
Hells yes she’s a beaut
Ok –
So far I’m very impressed.
The 70 Suzie cranks it up to 5500 rpm’s and maxed out at 34.1 mph (wind assisted) 33.4 against the wind.
I just gave that info to the guys at the Marine and they’re ordering me up a SS prop. (need to bling it up a bit)
The solex 15 – well, let’s just say that it is “sick!” The solex 10 up front hasn’t been turned on yet.
The Terrova I cannot comment on because I still haven’t figured out how to turn it on.
I need a Drotto.
Plug is in. 
Mahtofire – If you let that secret out I’ll never talk to you again.
Oh – I moored it and when I stepped onto the dock there was a school of crappies sitting next to a deadfall and when I looked closer there was a 36″ or so muskie eye ballin them. Bout 12″ of water.

Is this an Escape?
What does this mean for the pontoon? Only for cruises with the belle?
Nice rig!!

Do the new outboards not have a break in procedure anymore?

Pontoon has more “PLAY ROOM”!!
That is the perfect fishing boat. Solid 15 I bet is awesome to play with. Lots of screen room on that unit.
Ok so you took it to the bridge tavern and back!! 
Great boat EPG! Congrats!!

It’s under warranty, send it!
Nice, enjoy.
I think you will be amazed with the clairity of the pics! Did you mount the heading sensor on the starboard rear?

YES they do have a break in procedure and it is highly recommended to follow it as closely as possible. Usually it’s 2-3 hours of progressive steps. Should be in the manual and salesperson should go over it with you as well.
These newer outboards have computers that track exact information so they can see how hard you ran it and for how long, and manufacturers can and do DENY warranty work if the break in procedure was not followed.
Not saying all dealers/shops will do this but it’s a possibility. Best to just follow the procedure for many reasons, IMHO.
