Hey Hoop,

Thanks for the info. I am still waiting for my "Smartcraft" to get fixed, so I don't know my RPM's yet. I do know when I pin it, I get about 36.5 knots on the GPS,full fuel (100 gallons) - I thought that was a bit slow, but now I feel a little better. I have a 17" pitch, going to try a 19" once I figure out the RPM's.

Is that a 225 rude, or 200?

Definitely getting ready for the Chatham season - I started working on the JC yesterday - putting in stern controls, autopilot, new fish finder, windows - big list. Still trying the get the 23' ready too - just need to finish the gin pole and the rod holder in the bow. I was watching videos last night from last season - got me all geared up!

The only fish I have heard about have been on Jeffrey's - all harpoon fish.
