I love the boat so far! Each time I go I keep pushing the boat more and more to see what all it can handle. Noone really told me until I got the boat how much these damn things slide! :shock: When you think about turning its probably already too late lol!! Have brought in a few reds so far, and hopefully with duck season opening this weekend Ill bring in some ducks! 8-)

During duck season I tested the load limits for the boat... i ran 4 ppl, and all the hunting gear which overall weighed close to 1000 lbs. Hit some shallow water and got it up to 25.4 mph on my gps! I was pretty impressed with that stat being that big of a boat and that much of a load! :)
