[QUOTE="bulldog, post: 264740, member: 4592"] Took her out tonight and ran her hard. She did not miss a beat. I think I went about 20 river miles and used 1/4 tank of gas averaging 25 mph. She DOES NOT slide like a flat bottom and handles more like a bass boat which will take some getting used to. Took one sharp corner that I would have slid right through with the old boat to realize that. Different with no sliding. Saw a guy on the water and stopped to talk to him and he had nothing but nice things to say which was cool. Boat itself is perfect but I will be upgrading motors as soon as I can find a decent deal or trade. I just do not like the holeshot at all. That is the only downfall. Top end is good just a bad holeshot. Maybe a whales tail will help? It certainly did not help my last motor. Any thought on that would be appreciated. Anyone that knows of someone who wants a low hour 2005 Mercury 60/40 to buy or has a newer 90/65 or 115/80 that they want to trade plus some cash from me, let me know. [/QUOTE]
