Because I'm at 11 1/2 inches point to point in 16 hours. :shock:



I think the super low tide and the 2" thick ice have been working on her when I'm chasing them duckbyrds.

About when have ya'll started noticing a performance drop? I haven't gps'd it yet, so I don't know if I have lost any speed. I have gained some RPM's (new it would turn 3800ish unloaded, now turning 3950/4050ish) but I had attributed this to breaking in.

6 hrs. Got a new prop and a new hole to hunt in. Call GT and ask about the skiff with the 7" prop

That will add to the cost of a duck hunt
Would prob be faster to pull the priouge

yeah pulling a pirouge would be faster but its not easy putting all the ppl in it along with everything else you have to bring. plus its funner playin around tearing stuff up.

Thats why you get multiple pirogues that stack, and evidently you have alot of money to waste.

When do ya'll start to see drops in performance?



them PD props hadle it a little better I think, they are definitely thicker from looking at Radikkle's. They look like big stainless elf ears.
