Post Aucoin's Custom 18'x48" bateau w/ 35GTR EVT Stage 1
Finally got to put a few hours on de tiller dis weekend and I am more than satisfied with my new motor. I know I said I was gonna stay away from de GPS thing but, I couldn't resist. Average speed with 2 men, 2 ice chests, extra battery / troll motor, 1 dog, 6 gal. fuel. & all tackle you want was a modest 34.6mph in de shallows. Stayed away from the deep on account of de wind. Should have some "unloaded" speeds sometime dis week. Special thanks to Robert Silk and Mike Bingham of EVT for takin' care of me wit de MODS!

I have a 16' x 48" GDSD boat. It performs well but nothing like the boat you have. I plan on getting a GT 18' 46" in the future or maybe something like yours. I like the way aucoin puts that wide cap around the sides.
