Thanks to Texas Tackle Factory for the Texas Red Killer and the Big Minnow.

The Rapala SkitterWalk worked well too.

Great Video Todd. Hows the new YF HYBRID treating you?

Hey WO, Thank you. I really do like the YF21 - 51 hrs now. It did take a few trips to get used to sitting down to run. I find that sitting down is very comfortable especially on long runs - say Rigolets to the end of the MRGO jetties. It runs the chop fast and comfortable with the Mitigator seating cushions. Also floats pretty skinny for what it is - a V pad.
I really like the open fishability and the giant front deck. The boat keeps ice better than anything I have seen, as all boxes are insulated. It only carries 6 rods under the deck sort of a PITA, so I am having a starboard center rack done to load 8 more rods (nearly 8ft long) under the front deck for big trips on long road hauls. The rods will sit about 15 inches above the subfloor, so I can still keep my gear under the rods - already tested the raw design with bungees to simulate and it works great. The SHO has been a monster on the 21. The Bravo1XS is the speed prop BUT not tough enough for the mixed shell areas that we have been fishing, so I run a Rev 4 23 as a work prop. If I missed something, let me know.

Thats awesome ! Sounds, and looks like great boat I can tell you that much. What kind of numbers were you seeing with the SHO on your SW?

Traded/swapped the 2011 SW 23TE pretty quickly - at around 20 hrs. It came with a 21 Tempest that ran around 60-61. The 23TE that I had seemed to have more weight forward with a wider console too - so not quite as fast as the 2007 Z2200 250 ProXS that ran 1 to 2 mph faster with the same prop. No other data to report on the 2011 with other props.

I appriciate the info as always!

Nice video
