The XENIA V is finally at home in Black Point Marina and fully operational. Took her out for the first test run with all the gauges and she performed admirably. Took her first to 2,000 RPM and she cruised at 19 knots. The CAT 3116s top ended at 2800 RPM just at they should, and at that point she was doing almost 28 knots, which is about 32 MPH. That's a great speed for a boat of that size. We are ready to chase pelagics under almost any condition. Notify me if you want to be on the first trips!
