I ran my boat Monday. With a heavy 1 man hunting load in deep water, I ran a constant 28.5. I had myself, pop up blind, about 10 gallons of fuel, shell bucket, shotgun, and 4 dozen decoys. Water was about 12 to 14 feet deep with a light chop. Boat ran good, but it was still porpusing. Some of ya'll know that I've done so far to fight this porpusing issue, and I'm getting really close. I think if I mess with the trim tabs on the motor I'll get it to calm down. Not sure if I'll ever be able to run just myself and fuel in this boat, but I'm not giving up yet!!

sweet cuz . i here ya

congrats on ya speeds. y not weld a trim tab along the back of ya boat??

Nor really sure about the whole trim tab thing. I'm gonna try playing around with the tabs on the motor some. If that don't work, I guess I'll be looking for some help with adding a trim tab to the boat.

bring it to me, I'll have you runnin right in an hour

I also have hydraulic Jackplate on my motor.. That helps to go in shallow water. LOL

BB, what does your schedule look like for next Sunday, Oct. 4th? Maybe i can bring it down there then. Work on the fuel tank and get it running right. Then maybe you can show me around some of your ridin spots. And share a few cold adult beverages.

I HAVE A TUNNEL HAUL ON MY RIG IT HELPS CHANNEL THE WATER TO MY PROP SO I CAN RUN IN ABOUT 6" OF WATER AND STILL GET ON STEP I ALSO GAINED 3 MPH I'M RUNNING 47 MPH WITH A LIGHT CHOP!!!!!

There sure are a few people on here who put the jack on most people's thread.

I'll be on nights Scott, but I'll be home most of the day myboy. 7 am until 4:30 pm

Bring it down I'll have everything ready for ya.

Come on Boduke take off the capslock its the button on the left of the keyboard dat' says "CapsLock" just to the left of the letter "A"

BB, I don't wanna come down there and bother you when you are working nights, plus it looks like I'll be on call that day. Can't get that far from the house. Are you working all week? I'm working nights all weekend. I'm off monday and tuesday. Are either of those days better for you?

Far from bothering me Myboy, if you only knew how much I enjoy doing schit like this!

I'll give you a shout in the a.m. and will work out our schedules.

I did to Chad and we took typing class...I do believe they showed us what spell check was for also!!!

I'M TO POOR TO HAVE SPELL CHECK ON MY COMPUTER BUT I SHOULD BE GETTING MY STIMULUS PACKAGE SO I SHOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT SOON BUT UNTIL THEN DILL WIT IT BIOTCH!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well, that happens. But most of it is all in fun.

Spell check is free. It is part of your Operating System!

Smoke that's cool....I can only get 26 in mine. And can't get that now. I don't know if I'm not doing something right or not. I can't see how you and Shallow H2o can get those speeds and I can't.. I'm turning about 3730 rpm's. what ya'll turning? BTW I have a 16x60 GDSd w/ 35 GDSD on it.

My boat is running about 4050 RPMs.

I’m getting 28 out of my stock GTR on a 16x44 Southfork turning 3750 RPMs. What can I do to get the RPMs or MPH up without a mod just yet?

I'M RUNNING 30 MPH OUT OF MY STOCK 35 HP MUDBUDDY AT 4200 RPM'S

Thats some good speeds BODUKE. I might get there oneday. Gotta get the boat to stop porpusing first.

Hell, I have a 11 gal aluminum tank, 2 batteries and a dual bank battery charger under the front deck. Still hops at around 27 or so when I'm in it by myself.

MY BAD I'M A DUMBASS JUST LOOKED AT YOUR SIGNATURE

Valves won't float until about 4400 on a stock engine.

Ran mine at 4200 for 3 years before I modded it.

What does it sound like when the valves start to float? With my Mikuni I have almost hit 4300 and haven't heard anything funny.
