[QUOTE="captpetej, post: 439913, member: 22174"] Thanks guys! Rod savers: they seem perfect for transport. Installed two sets of 4 rod holders last night. I'm not sure how much I'll love putting rods back in all the time on the water, but it I definitely like them for trailering/motoring around. Mainline: good to hear! mine will be garaged or covered always (well, when reasonable... lol) Stinkfoot: I went to a 9p 3blade, and lost a couple mph from the 2 blade 11p... but with me in it, fully loaded it does about 26-27. with two people it does better, or if I walk up front while underway... will mess with moving the gas can up front further, but I'm pretty happy for now. Top speed with 2 people I'm seeing 28-29mph on GPS. I bet my motor has a bit of power still available too. I'll tweak the timing and fuel a bit more this week and see if I can gain a little. oomph: with my gas motor on, I'm running two 100AH batteries... one up front and one in the back... it distributes decently like that. If solo, I could benefit from both up front I bet. When I'm electric only though, moving the weigh to the back helps once that outboard is off though. IT's a give and take, with a passenger this seems to work good for now. Headed to Lake champlain in the morning! a week on the lake is exactly what I need right now. pretty darn big lake for this boat though.. crossing fingers for low winds, and calm water. [/QUOTE]
