Well this has been a couple weeks ago when I got it all done but I had a few ppl on here that was asking me when I got it all done to let them know how it turned out. Well with two guys fish ready 3500w genny a 50qt yeti slap full 12 gallons of gas of gas ready to go she fished like a champ. I got a 13hp Honda with a 32" arrow prop on the setup on the fan. Even with all the weight it still pushed in the 22-23 mph. I was very well pleased with her.

1.Cover more grown with fan then you do with a troller

2.Run the fish down faster then you would with a troller.

3.And if you reffering to "Why don't you use your GTR like you do your fan" to awnser that question for ya I don't like putting the hrs on the motor like you would do plus it's either hard bottom or bad sandy in places and your tearing up your motor and prop. Its not like LA where all you got is mud.

I'm just saying it would be better to have your setup on a outboard. You have to go trough a act of congress to put on and take off your setup to get use out your mm. One thing also your motor is not gonna last long carrying that lost around. It's gonna self destruct from the inside out.

Just be careful with running your motor wot and rpm's low while carrying a heavy load. When I had my single rig I caught it once just in time. Internal vibration is a bitch with these motors.

What would be a good RPM about 3500+?

I think I remember look at it at one time and I was at 3600 and some change.....Yeah I got a smaller prop I keep in boat. Ill try it out next time Im out with it and see what she turns. Speed isnt really a big deal with me anyway.

How many rpm's is the prop rated for? The airboat or aviation props are only rated for 3200 and preform best at 2800. Nice rig, I like it
