Outboards on my signature 29

This is my first post on here, all the way from Auckland New Zealand. I thought you may be interested in my 2006 Signature which has had a pair of 250hp Evinrude ETEC gen 2s strapped to its stern. Photos show it moored in the river behind my farm, the motors, getting a waterblast before putting it in my barn for winter and dash showing 48 knots, at which time she starts getting a bit hairy. Very few Chaparrals in NZ.

Nice. And your boating season is just starting isn't it? How long is your boating season?
So many are going to outboards instead of inboard outboard engines. Some with 4 or 5 outboards. Shocking to this old boater.
 
Starting to warm up a little. Day temps around 65 so nearly time to apply the antifoul and relaunch the boat.Temp will slowly creep up to around 80 in Jan/Feb and we will leave boat in water until May so I guess we get 7 or 8 months of reasonable weather.We only get down to 32f for a few mornings and the frost is always gone by 8am
