Re: 16x42 with 25 it sucks in the mud/vegetation ?!?!?
I think im gonna wait til before duck season to do it. I think the hardest part of the paint job will be prepping it after a summer of BS. But it will give me time to decide what sort of camo to do. I might do a clearcoat on it like bretts boat has.

Re: 16x42 with 25 it sucks in the mud/vegetation ?!?!?
Right on man No bullshit though I would take your 25 with you and mount it at his shop, pretty sure he has a boat ramp right by his place. I wish I had done this because you drive by soooooo much water and places you would love to run your rig in. It would make the ride back a lot better to.

. I had to go look in the garage. I couldn't remember. That single crossover should come with these 23's it made all the difference.

Re: 16x42 with 25 it sucks in the mud/vegetation ?!?!?
The review is on its way. Doing some governor adjustments today and were gonna see what kind of numbers we can get. It was crusing 25 yesterday with my brother, 10 galllons of fuel, 2 batteries, 30lb cooler, trolling motor, and some other gear. We are having trouble getting it to turn 3800 in the water, all we got out of it yesterday was about 3650. Heres another picture

Re: 16x42 with 25 it sucks in the mud/vegetation ?!?!?
25 mph don't sound bad to me with a load. But maybe you can get a little more out of her. I bet that thing will sunburn you right now with all that shiny new metal

Re: 16x42 with 25 it sucks in the mud/vegetation ?!?!?
It think we got it where it needs to be. Turning 3950 pushing an 1844 skiff with a substantial load 26mph isnt too bad. We changed the oil at 5 hrs and it really increased performance. Boat drives like a caddilac, that 25 is plenty of power. Itll be running hot soon.

We need to build us a couple ramps down there, thatll get brett back in mud mode. Have you ordered your 25 yet?

Re: 16x42 with 25 it sucks in the mud/vegetation ?!?!?
That's a good idea on the ramps. Yea ol Brett is hard to get ahold of these days, called him about a hundred times trying to see if I could use his boat to go to Seminole in July,but o well. No 25 ordered yet for me, was trying to do it this month but its looking more like next month. It's about to drive me crazy not having a mud motor...... Didn't think it would be this long without one.
