Took my F36 out yesterday for the first time yesterday

First-I never had a big boat like this before and having twin engines makes docking easy.I never realized how you can just sit there and do a 360 turn.
I just replaced the manifolds on the starboard engine and it ran beautiful-no leaks or problems what so-ever.
The temp never went above 120 degrees on either engine I am so happy I did it myself as they are loaded with work here at the marina and I will stay at the cottage with the boat now instead of having to rent a pontoon boat for the family. Hey this might be an old boat but it rides so smooth.Much better than the Aquasport that I had. I will be at the cottage for a week from the 29th of june to the July 4th weekend.

thinking about rug replacement in the cabin and maybe the cockpit area.
anyway thanks for all the advice I received on the forum-this is a great place.
By the way-I saw a post about steam coming out of the water and I had it on mine also when I pushed her hard a little and I think it does have to do with the cold water in the lake and the hot exhaust water.

Glad you had a great time, enjoy! Steam is definitely the exhaust. When I cruise on Lake Superior w/ 60-65 degrees F water, there's steam everywhere.
