Tried it out yesterday, in the rain of course. I was impressed with that little bugger. Jumps right up on plane, 34mph on the gps. It has some big fin on the motor to help it plane better, if I take that off, I think I could get 3-5 more mph, be cause I couldn't trim up with all that water pressure on that fin.


Sounds like a nice rig Tom.

37* this afternoon and a mix of rain/snow. Heard Eagle River had 3" of snow overnight. Could be as much as 5" over by Fond Du Lac tonight.

My Turkey season starts Wednesday, hope I can drop one this year.
