My name is Jeff Nelson and this is basically my 1st post and I would like to introduce myself. I live in Tarpon Springs FL and I am a duck-aholic. (Seriouly I am and after this season I am going to group threapy!) I am mostly a Diver Duck hunter!! We'll thats my quick run down; off to my question! I have a Custom Xpress 1544 with a 25hp Go-devil long tail and a hunt deck. The floor has been removed, A Ron Hill 9x7 prop and a few little other extra's here and there. My question right now is I am hauling close to 200 Decoys. my better half at 140 pounds Myself 280 pounds, Gear and a Lay out boat. With this everyday load I am moving around 16mph on the GPS. I plan on next year added a 2nd layout boat to this load and its aound 70 extra pounds with everything......... I am wondering if I add the 2nd layout boat what will happen to my profromance. Will I still be able to get around 15mph? will this be to much for this set up? I still like the fact that I can run all day long over sand in about 4 inches of water and would like to keep it close to this. _________________ Team Total ASalt Mossy Oak Pro Staff 1854Gator Traxs w/HD pushed by a MB 5000.

I guess what I could do is load my boat up with the one layout boat and toss my 105 pound dog in the boat and see what happens....... _________________ Team Total ASalt Mossy Oak Pro Staff 1854Gator Traxs w/HD pushed by a MB 5000.

Just toss it in and see. Also if your running in alot of sand your performance is def gona drop. Running in sand is like putting a grinder to your prop. _________________ 1542 War Eagle with 25hp GDLT
