Took the new sled down here to Dularge to do a little pre fishing. the "REEL EDGE" is a BEAST! We are staying at Captin Bill's camp. Nice place. We arrived wednesday night when we were suposed to be here for noon. Woke up thursday to FOG. Since we are learning the area we decided to wait till it cleared. We got on the water around 10 and rode around untill 330 checking for bait and clear water while we were breaking it in. We drove 55miles. get up this morning a little later than we had wanted, we got on the water around 9. Caught a few reds specks and a flounder. My partner caught a speck and a flounder on a spinner bait. But the important question is, How did it ride?etc.... With 4 people in a 1-1.5 ft chop going with the wind we hit 57.5, on the way back across the wind picked up and so did the seas, 1.5-2.5 footers. i told everyone to get in the back and hammerd down. We hit 53.7. We need to change our prop because when we hit 5400 we are maxed out in speed. If i go any more rpms we lose speed cause it aint proped right, also the motor needs to go down one bolt hole. it preforms best with the plate all the way down. im sure if i had another inch down i would get performance. We fished 4 people out of it all day and could have put 2 more in if needed. It drifts well, floats high!lol, and drafts little water while running.
