[QUOTE="fakirone, post: 361460, member: 14476"] So I got my Tiny Tach last night, I am headed to Arkansas to fish the White River tomorrow early AM so on my way to drop my boat at my buddy's house (taking his truck) I threw the boat in the river to check her out. I was supposed to be at work so I was in a major hurry, but I wanted to get a baseline with the boat fully rigged but not loaded at all, just the one person, me. Well I was pretty disappointed with the numbers. Wound up with a top speed of only 25, much less than I got the other day with a small load (31 mph then). I was turning 5360 rpm to get that speed. Same both up and down river. Bummer. So I haul butt back to the ramp and start to load her up and I notice... I had left the choke on for the whole testing process. Lame. [/QUOTE]
