Hey Mich, congratulations! If you want I am sure Stu and I could break it in as we're closer to Georgia than you. :mrgreen: You also chose the best camo pattern- MO Bottomland is the ticket!
I will try and wait patiently for the maiden voyage review. :mrgreen:

Well i took her out for the first time ever. And im happy with it. I took it on a new to me lake so i stuck to the deep water.

Running 2 guys myself 135 and my buddy 220. deep water not broke in 5 gal of gas and battery 20mph. I need to shim the motor to make the prop run right in the water.

Going to be a great icebreaker up there! How is it handling the LT with that hunt deck? Pros/cons if any? M.O. Bottomland is the best! Sorry for all the questions, is the hull .125? What is the approximate weight of that hull? It would blend in quite well in the Glades down here for sure! Enjoy, I am predicting 24-25 mph after you've adjusted it and all! :mrgreen:

Very nice rig. Once your cavitation plate is dialed in and the motor is broken in, you ought to see 25 solo. Congrats!

Good looking rig, and I believe it is 125 if I recall. Once it breaks in and you get the cav plate in the right spot, should be faster.

Your boat came out really nice. Let us know if and how you get anymore speed put of it. Theres a few adjustments you make to the Cav plate and motor mount that may help you get a little more speed. That being said, nothing at all wrong with 20.

Is it hard to make a tight turn running a longtail mounted onto the hunt deck like that?
