Maiden Voyage - 1967 Starline Deville in Stuart, Florida (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/off-topic/29117-maiden-voyage-1967-starline-deville-stuart-florida.html)
Took a while to get the boat sea-worthy but the day arrived and Robert from Impressions Detailing and myself took out my 1967 Starline Deville this last Sunday on her Maiden Voyage and I'm happy to say the boat ran great and except for a faulty starter solenoid the day was trouble free and a ton of fun!
All loaded up, legal, fully stocked and ready to go...

Idling out as we let the motor warm up and monitor the gages to make sure there are no problems...

Driver's point of view...

Everything is right were it's supposed to be... temperatures good, battery is fully charged and staying that way, oil pressure is great and plenty of gas.
The Tach shows just under 3000 RPM which is around 35 miles per hour...

And looking out the back you can see were speeding along...

Still early, not too crowded yet...

Here's the Sandbar. This is where everyone anchors their boat and then enjoys the warm water and comradery with fellow boaters...

Out on the water you see one cool boat after another driving around enjoying the sunny weather...
