I built a 1648 mostly .100 and sold it to a fried that runs that setup. He runs 27-28 empty and 24-25 with a 3 man hunt load in deep water.

With the 2 blade I'm running 27 -28 empty in deep water and around 17 with a 3 man hunt load, if I'm lucky. That's what I want to know if the load carrying capacity is increased with the 3 blade. One of the guys that hunts with me weighs 340 and stands about 6'5". He damn sure slows me down.

Sounds to me like you need to make your friend loose weight to hunt with you, or make him buy you a bigger boat and motor!

Well , he has a couple of leases and I have a boat. When his leases have birds we hunt there , when the lakes and rivers are good we use the boat. I actually considers getting bigger set up but this one I have is paid for!!! He'll I way 220 , when we have a third , a dog and gear I probably have 900lbs in that little skiff. It handles well , you just can't get in a hurry.
