First post...First duck rig..I have been reading and watching these boards for a little while sucking up knowledge from ya'll.Thanks for the input!

I picked up a used G3 1548 and got a new 23 Godevil LT and put on the back.

Im 205lbs had 6 gals of fuel about 20 lbs assorted gear a 20 lb anchor and a small cooler with ice and drinks. getting 18.2 mph in open water.

Been running her for a couple weeks now on the weekends and have about 8 hours on her. Shes no speed demon but moves nicely as I expected/ hoped it would. I'm really looking fwd to the up comming hunting season to get her broke in right.

Good deal man and welcome to the MM world!

You should be proud and excited. LT's are not built for speed but accessability, economy of maintenance, paradigm of KISS (keep it simple, you know). After break-in, you can tweak the throttle advance and realize some cheap speed gain and then switch to synthetic oil/grease. My best advice: get plenty of tiller time, wear your pfd and kill switch lanyard (make sure that works), balance your load, leave a float plan. Above all, have fun!

I just hope you don't get stuck in the grass like BB... Congrats on the new rig, and dont be capt Ahab!!!

looks great man!
