what is the water temp up there?

Where Tim was fishing the surface temp was 66-67 on Saturday.

The fishfinder was showing 62-65 surface temp where Big was killin his 40+ inchers

Tim I like how your boat looks fast standing still. Nice job dude.

John was nice enough to take Katie and I out on his 23 last saturday. That pic (43" . . . doesn't look like it I know) is on his boat off Chatham

Got a different prop and boy it made all the difference. 15.25 x 15P aluminum. Not too bad for a 1979 Vertical reed 2.4L v200 non fingerported chrome bore powerhead!! Mind you a mid 80's 2.4L 175 was also vertical reed setup with fingerports. 70 gallons of fuel, 2 big adults, and kicker. Picked up a 15P mirage this week . . . we'll see what happens. Based on today's run . . . I believe I'm getting roughly 2.5mpg with the setup. Not too shabby.
