Gide = guide sorry for the spelling error

Stern thrusters..kinda like bow thrusters but on the *** end.

W is kind of a stickler for correct spelling, from what I have seen.

Funny!!

Trim & troll is big in Florida.
Especially for tarpon fishing.

W don't have a t top cause he can't find wood screws big enough to hold it down.

Buddy had some installed on an Everglades. Biggest pieces of S%^& i've seen in a while, and he fishes platforms often. I won't recommend them to anyone.

Have you had any problems with yours? I have some on my boat I got. Made from Florida, they would use it fishing flats. I think it has a remote, which I don't have, that operates it. I've seen a video where someone who looked like a guide was on a poling platform and spun the boat around with them. I hear they have lots of problems and make a lot of noise.

David take those off and get an ipilot trolling motor.

Yep

I got a 101 lb ipilot. I guess I'll take them off.

Yep, I would take them off Dave!!!
I've never heard anything good about them...

A friend of mine had those pieces of **** installed on the very same boat you have, and just yanked them off after 7yrs and put a I pilot on his;)
Don't look back after you do!!!:cool:
PS. How do you like your fast cat???
What kind of numbers are you getting with the Vmax 300?

X2

I have a mercury bravo I with a 26 pitch and I got it to 73 @ 5700. Lanier told me to try the Bravo xs with the same pitch. But really, that's plenty plenty fast

Is your friend live in south Louisiana? Is he on this forum or on another one?

cuz he couldn't reach it :p

Yes, he lives just outside of New Orleans. I'm not sure if he is on any forums, I have not seen him on here for sure!
Even though that bravo 1 may be plenty fast for you, the XS may be a little more eff. ( cruise, hole shot, fuel Eco) I've been told by more than one that it is a hammer of a wheel :D
How do you like your rig? It's unlike most boats isn't it? :)
