Re: finally got my rig in the water Is that on the 1642 you had in the other thread? I thought you would've gotten better speeds than that if it is. I get 18 with two people, gas, dekes, extra battery, and huntin chit on a 1644 with the 27. Put a third person and it's down to 13-14. From what I have been seeing I was kinda discouraged with the 27 cause I was seeing the 23 and 24 getting speeds similar to mine, with the lighter loads, but now I figure with the larger hp you just gain torque not speed. I tell ya, I'm very impressed with the 27 it will chit n get in the thick stuff. Like LAOUTLAW said, at least it will get you to the birds.

Re: finally got my rig in the water Congrats on some forward motion! And we'll always be "not that impressed" with longtail speeds, that's what drives us to eventually get shorttails!. I ain't doing much better on my 24hp, so don't feel bad.
