Not sure what a gide is...

T-Top = trouble .let's just say boats with T-top are 98%more likely to throw anchor, potlick, and screw u up in some way



Oil spill summer was the worst

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.

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

PS. How do you like your fast cat???
What kind of numbers are you getting with the Vmax 300?

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?

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
How do you like your rig? It's unlike most boats isn't it?
