Post Refurbished Boat
My rig was 2 1/2 years old this month and decided to refurbish it.

New Paint Job, Hydro Turf, Trolling Motor Mount with 55 lb Rip Tide.

Refurbished Motor a couple months ago also.

I am pretty happy with how it came out.

What yall think.

Looks awesome!

I really like the storage/seat in front of the console. :D

The stern light and switch mount on the rain guard are genius!

Depends so much on conditions.

By myself with full gas I have seen 32 to 34. I figure a good all around average is around 30.

Yes, dropped 250 Rpms - gained 2 mph
31-32, but my bottom is bent bad between ribs after crawfish season. So I ordered a 4x12 x 3/16 sheet of Aluminum to cover bottom

NAJ,

Forgot to mention...don't know if your storage lid does this or not...but mine was rattling and squeaking from the aluminum rubbing. I cut some thin strips of leftover hydroturf and stuck them to the inside of both my storage compartment lids. Quieted things down substantially!

the coast guard guys get the offshore boats a lot for this. The rule is 360 degrees. legally it must be the highest thing on the boat, otherwise they say there is an obstruction of view from x-y degrees and ticket you. Since you aren't going offshore you may not have such a problem. just telling you what i've encountered running offshore.
