Yes it will plane better if I've got it sucked in all the way to the transom.

That is where mine is set. Mine is a 40hp Nissan 2stroke. She gets up on plane almost immediately on a 16' Alumacraft, by myself.

It probably did at that elevation, and the weired thing is when it finally gets on plane it runs good here. It actually runs too fast for me.

Bass tournament fishermen want to get to their Honey Hole in a Hurry.

Me, i'm not in any hurry anymore.

Ya know, I've had my boat up to 38mph and that felt fast enough to me.... and that wasn't even full throttle! Kinda nervous to see what it'll do once I can go full throttle and be done with this infernal break in.

I go mostly to smaller lakes & ponds, so i don't have to go very far to fish my spots.

So just curious Jim how the boat is going? Did you end up taking it in or tinkering with it yourself? Just curious is all

I haven't done anything to it yet. There is some people interested in buying it and if I sell it I am going to buy another boat with a deep hull. My wife is a little afraid of the bass boat. When I finally get it on plain, she says it goes too fast. I am looking at a 19ft Bayliner. We will see how it goes.

Jim

Yeah you mentioned something about that when I saw you at the boat ramp... I hope it sells quick so you can get into a boat that fits you better. I can't say enough good things about my 19' bayliner.. I highly recommend one!

Well I sold my bass boat. I am in the market for a boat now. I am going up to Redmond tomorrow to look at three different Bayliners. If anyone around here knows of any for sale, let me know.

Jim

wow that was fast! I don't know of any bayliners for sale around here but I am around town a lot with my job so I will keep my eye open. Good luck in Redmond!
