on our journey to the keys a 2 weeks ago yeilded 1/2 day fishing in 7... after driving from the pensacola area... BUT... i did get to meet Don V so that saved part of the trip for me.... We are have an EPIC marlin and pelagic bite up here though !!! this past weekend the state blue marlin record was broken and then broken again 30 mins later during the Blue Marlin Grand Championship.. and I'm offshore. Glad She pulled the mileage to get you home... You might be able to get a 4 blade that gets very close to the same top end but lifts the stern as well. good luck !!! and again ... you and Strick are a BIG influence on my building MY boat rather than just trying to buy one..... My wife told me this past week that my baby (20MA) is to be a stepping stone to one already built or a different boat.... we had a heart to heart and she know understands whatever i have to do to make HER like the boat will be done !!! so my first big change will be coming soon.... have to plug the holes in the floor.... lol
