Comments: Been having it for about 1 year now, no complaints except for lost of speed. Whenever I contacted KP at ProDrive, he has been very helpful. Use it for Duck hunting, drop net crabbing, & Fishing. Duck Hunted in water deep enough to float the decoys, when we parked the boat to hunt, we were not floating and had no problems with shallow water. Ran a mud boat for 30 years, the MM configuration gives you so much more room. Would suggest a MM over a mud boat to anyone ready to buy.

Nice rig

Nice Clean Rig you're running.

looks good man, nice and clean... go get it bloody or muddy!

Nice boat..... My guess is your loss of speed is a result of a worn out prop. What rpms you running?

Thanks everyone for the reply's

Tested the governor, 4150
The prop is not worn, running 3910 trimmed to best speed. If I trim up higher, gain RPM - loose speed.
The bottom looks OK, but the transom has about a 3/8" dip in it at the engine.

Out of water RPM's should be more around 4350 in neutral warmed up, turn the motor up some. A hook in the hull will cost you speed. Any hooks along the cross ribs? Most likely the hook is you main issue.

someone explain to me what a hook is?
