I'll have to run that past the wife. She is really good about me spending time on the river though, she just worries about me going out alone. I always have my phone along. I do have a question though, if I spend a lot of time on the river will I get younger?

Will you get younger ? ? ? ? Talk about looking the gift horse in the mouth My guess is if that was the case, you'd never find room on the river to launch your boat Just a wild guess

I guess so, I would certainly be running into my grandfather at some of my favorite fishing spots.

Hi Buster, sorry for the delay in responding but Papee is correct I did get a tach with his suggestion and it works great. Spinning a 59x10* prop direct drive up to 3100-3200. Top speed is in the low to mid 30's so far until I can find some real skinny water to wring it out in

Doozit20,

That's a respectable top speed, my Aircat would only do 25 mph (per GPS) in deep water. I never found any skinny water to try. I was running a reduction unit (1.50 : 1), and my boat was probably a bit heavier than yours.

Dave,
I got to 30 in the water you see in my video post. There are a few vid on youtube I have loaded now. The fastest I could get in deep water was around 26 all these were with gps readings. I found a good long half mile strip that is a few feet deep but is full of grass and I run great in that stuff. I havent gpsed in that spot yet but I do know I only have about 3' of my boat in the water when I get moving which doesnt take too long lol. Thanks for the compliments.
