You boys need to get back. I am clickin 10 MPH when I turn the 50 and the 30 lb Minn Kota Thrusters on The Electric Chicken!!

I would post pictures but there is not a camera with a shutter speed to handle it without massive blur.

in that case my boat can go 98mph behind my truck considering my boat only weighs a few hundred pounds, I got a 1448 with a 35 johnson and it goes 30 weighted with two ice chest, battery, and a 260ld man with a bunch of fishing gear.
