Ok 4.7.12

Solo & 21 gallons of fuel & no h20 in livewell.
30 ET @ 1" above
94 mph on limiter (had about 1 mph current behind me)

Also ran the 28 hydromotive BUT had h2o in livewell (full)
16 gallons of fuel upstream
90.5 mph with pretty bad cross wind

I'm not sure why the hydro basically ran the same speed solo as it did with 2 & full fuel. I think I can come up a touch with the hydro but didn't have time.

Good running Joe........pretty much proving out that ET's are better with lighter loads than a heavier load. If you want to go much faster, you'll have to get the limiter raised, and string her out.

Man, just think if Chad wouldn't have ground that lip off........you'd have picked up another 3 mph!........at least that's the belief of many people.

Yea and it wouldn't handle so dang good:big grin:big grin

I'm fast enough for me. I fish the vast majority of the time and 90 with 2 and a load is more than I was looking for.

Sure, I'll keep tweaking on it and playing with it, but I'm satisfied.
