Figured it would work well for you. The high five was great for getting on plane, and held good, just didn't have much speed to it. It ran 50-52 on my PROLINE with just me in it, or 5 of us in it.

The High Five hit the limiter harder than the other 21P. It started cutting out cylinders (not so soft either) but that is with trim.

Sounds like it needs more prop, or more cup in the 21. At least now you have a baseline to go off of instead of buying one blind.

I'm buying yours iffin you don't mind. LOL! By the time I get a fishing load and all my catch I will need the extra RRRR's It is a remarkable piece. I don't think a 23 will be doable.

You can try that other one out to and see how it works. I think it was supposed to be close to a TEMPEST, just made by PRECISION. I would say the offer to trade out for a feeshin trip or 2 still stands, but I doubt you want whatever funk is on me getting on your boat. Last trip out I only got 1 trout, and didn't fair much better yesterday. It was such a slow day I kept a bluefish:sick:. Fishing in the backwaters north of Chas for redfish on an oyster bed, and hook up with a 20" bluefish. I then catch a 22" jack on the backside of it(and about 20 more out on the flats). I did end up picking up 4 small trout on 2 other bars on the edge of the bay. I keep seeing reds, can't get one to touch any of my lures for nothing.

I think you are too hard on yourself. You got a good trashcan slam.. That is better than the luck I had for sure..
While I was testing the prop, some lowlife SOB stole my blower and weed eater out of the garage. Wife and daughter were home at the time. Garage door was open, two trucks in the driveway. Someone just wandered up and decided they wanted them more than me...so I would rather lick a sailcat than to come home to that... Lets hope karma catches up to the lowly thief before anyone profits from the deal. Sorry to rant but I fear that black cloud is still looming over my head. It is you that should take the money and run my friend, standing next to me at this point is HIGH RISK. I will gladly take you fishing, multiple times if you dare, that is a real good offer. BUT that might be a bit too generous. Yikes props are $$$BIG$$$$. We will definitely work something out. :beer:

I caught sailcats on my last 3 trips, but none this one. What really got me was I lost a GOOD trout right at the boat. I had bought a DOA deadly combo to try out, and hooked up. Got right to the boat and he got away. Pulled it in and the jig was gone, the knot had come untied. So much for them being pre rigged and ready to use, and shame on me for not retying them. Pulled out another one, and it fell off just taking it out of the bag. And I almost got a 3 foot shark that was chewing on one of my jacks, and I couldn't escape the dolphins for the life of me.

Sounds like we could make for an interesting day on the water.
