Second Splash

[willy]

Well finally got Old School out for a day of fishing, stripers on eels, drifting. Four keepers and three over 34 inches had to release. Found out a couple of things, boat is great to fish from with that cockpit and full transom. Also had some calm water for a change and ran that boat WOT. It will definetly make max rpm's at 5600. Because motor is to high on the bracket and I was unable to trim it up w/o ventilating the prop in any chop I could not get to that rpm until yesterday, trimed down all the way( the way I had to run in any chop) the motor would max at 5000. Once I was able to trim the motor up and raise that bow a little WOW 5600 @ 38 mph and handled like a dream. I could tell if I was able to trim it any more Like has been said before " sucking ducks " I'm sure it would hit 40 or maybe even a little more. Got to lower that engine this winter. It looks like I got a good one guys and motor runs like a top. I can't even imagine what a 150 hp would do on that boat.
