Very Nice!

Now that's a slob! Kudo's to the man on the rod! Wow, if I caught that fish I could retire my fishing gear and take up golf! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

John,
Something tells me Team Ave Maria has this season locked up. Those Sea Monkey guys don't have a chance in competing with a slob like that! (Another one of those inside jokes)

My congratulations to Mike for a job well done.

Moooooooooo, wow that is a fat sow. We only dream about those fish down here. Once in a blue moon are 45+ inch fish taken in mid-bay, chesapeake, where I fish. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Nice fish Gordon - nice boat too! What's your top end? I have a similar set up with ttop and canvas - I was thinking the canvas was slowing me down a bit, but not sure. I am only getting about 35 knots max with a new 225 opti. I have a feeling something else is wrong (besides canvas and ttop! slowing me down).

Hi Eric-

I get 38.5kts at 5200 rpm's top end no matter how I trim, it tilt it, or whatever. That's with tabs up and about 3/4 full of fuel, about125 gallons. That, to me, is a lot of speed, but I supposed if I wanted to experiment with props I could squeak a bit more out of it.

At 4500rpm's I am getting 29.5 kts and in good conditions, that gets me anywhere in a reasonable amount of time. When it's a bit sloppier, 4200 gives me 26kts. I can live with that.

Getting ready for the big show at Chatham??? Have you heard of any schoolies yet? I want to go and play with them this year! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
