Mark and I were coming back from Silver Glenn last Friday and a boat passed both of us,. We both assumed it was the other of us, but we soon realized it was a Bullet bass boat with one of the new 300 4-strokes. We tried to catch him but the water was too rough and he soon turned off into the Welaka boat ramp. Neither of was gaining much on him. That is an impressive bass boat.

There is a guy somewhere on the St. Johns with a 20XD Bullet and a new 300R turning a Mercury CNC 34 pitch prop 6200 rpm and running 107. Don't remember his name but, I read his facebook post.

Dubmoney saw that and sent me a pic to my phone. Propshaft was 3 1/2 inches above the pad if I remember right. The prop was a Merc 5 blade CNC cleaver. I wouldn't want to walk around the back of the boat and bump into it uncovered...instant stitches! Not exactly a family friendly fishing boat with that setup.
