What I'm talking about in terms of Performance is Pounds Per Gallon

I think that pic says it all.

As the young bull says to the old one...

"Let run down there and f*#@ one of them cows!"

And the old bull says...

"Why don't we walk down there and f*#@ them all."

There's a saying in the dive community here, goes something like this:
"Slow is smooth, smooth is fast"

Think these old Bulls must be onto something. Or is it they just don't like loosing the elixir out of them there solo cups.....eh

Sneaky 'Ol Bastards
 

Beastly, I think you'er on to somethin'. I been studying both that dang Conner Davis and Kmoose for quite so time now. They are both really old and sneaky. They are real "easy" in the water and they try not to git anything stirred up down there. They act more like a Sea Turtle than a Bull Shark on the reef. Sometimes they are hunkered down next to a rock and they set there real quiet like waiting for one of them big 'ol curious groupers to come to them. Ka-ching! They's like Turkey Hunters, just sett'in there real quiet like. I notice the new divers swim around like they own the reef and scare everything off. I'm tell'in ya' them two 'ol guys is real sneaky, but real productive.
If you decide to come div'in with us swing by Frizz's, pick him up, clean the tar off his feet and ease toward Cedar Key, in the Panhandle. We'll get Mel to drive us out to one of Kenny's hot spots. Ol' One Spoke "Cattle Egret" Dave might want to go too. They know how to run a "load test" on the cleaning table.

Maybe I could tag along and extract some of that wisdom out of yall ol guys and learn something new...

So, you guys are saying that a 90 eTec on a 19 or 20 is like an old bull. Smart, slow and steady. All you need is the right prop...

GPP - Gallons per Pound
 

They do just fine and they are real easy on fuel. If you are running way off shore to get your 2 groupers, 5 hogfish and 10 Mango snappers each, what the heck do you want to burn 50 gallons of gas for if you can burn 16?
I'm getting just about the same preformance results you are experiancing with your boat. Of course we ain't going to beat Donald Campbell with those rigs, but it works for me and the cost of fuel ain't much to worry about.

Father Frank started this thread. He's a fan of a light 90hp on a 20 footer. I am too.

Terry, I was just reading through this entire thread yesterday and got to page five and seen your sawzawd bowrider. Couldnt stop thinking about it. Came back here this morning and screenshot it. I think I read somewhere that you don't think its as pretty as most of the boats on here... its my new favorite. I think the splash guard, flat wheel position on the console, and the old sea craft script on the stern makes it. And the performance from the 90 ETEC is pretty sweet too. Is there a thread where I can read more about what you did to it?

I was asking my girl about what she thought of some of the seacrafts on craigslist and she basically said, "why do you like all these old boats?" So I let her see yours and I said, "because they can look like this." And she said, "oooooh, I like that one!"

Ill be free diving in homosassa when gags open up. Hope to get good performance in pounds per gallon like that too.

Tight lines.
