CB - It's going to snow again today. I talked with the sailfish reps last weekend at the New England Saltwater Fishing Show. They had a 220 with a Merc 150 (15P rev4) on display at the show. All three guys had logged hours on the exact setup. They claimed it would touch 40mph light with 1/2 tank of fuel and 2 guys.

Gillie - No bracket . . . The boat stills has a notched 25" transom. Hoping for a double helping navy gravy to make up for the looming cuts this is gonna be ugly.

Hey, Big: Is that photo taken at the ramp at Ashumet pond off Sandwich Rd in Falmouth? Looks familiar.

SailorC - It's Tempest Knob in Wareham about 2 miles from my house.

Wow - they look almost identical. My brother in law lives about 2 miles from that pond I mentioned in Falmouth. Nice rig.

CAREFUL, Depending on your load and sea conditions, you'll be shifting your passengers to the bow cap to stay on plane !

Capt Chuck is On Point - I rented a sailfish 22 with a 150 yammie 4 stroke while in the keys , would not get up on plane with 4 people, gear and full fuel . We had to have folks run to the bow to get up on plane.

Already tested this with full fuel tank, 4 adults over 200lbs with everyone behind the console. The boat jumps right up on plane. Just did a 120 mile trip a few days ago . . . with 3 guys 90 gallons, gear, full baitwell (35 gallons). Merc 150 makes max torque at 3000rpm vs. yamaha 150 which peaks at 5400rpm.

Nice looking combo, Tim.
How do you like the Tundra. Happy with towing and stopping power? Fuel burn?
