Dropped it about an inch. Ventilation gone. Even trimmed up one notch.
Ran lined a striped @$$ ape!
So me at 225 or better, my son at 200 or better, 2 coolers 2 bags ice, 4 poles trolling motor, 2 batteries, 1 starting battery, 2 down riggers 20#s lead, tackle boxes. 20mph.
Son was out of boat to get trailer to ramp, so I did a victory lap. Will do 25plus with me alone and gear, got a little sketchy so throttled back. Not sure where the top end would have been.
With the motor tilted up in the shallow running notch, I was powering at an idle in 12" of water. So she runs skinny too.
