Jason that is sweet, love them boats, how does it handle in a slop ?

[jasoncooperpcola]

Thanks Willy. It handled nicely coming in. We was running about 23 mph and every now and then had to duck some overspray. It didn't hit as hard as our V-20 which really suprised me. I can't get over how nothing moves on the Durabak deck. On the V-20 everything moved backward when we were going. On the 250 Sportsman stuff stays put.

Nice, we got to run about 40 miles before getting into any congregations of snapper around here.
That speed is something, never thought about a boat that size going that fast.

I guess ya'll already heard about the gal that went fishing with 10 guys right?

Yep, she came back with a BIG RED SNAPPER!

Pretty work Jason! Nice snappas!

Nice Boat!!!!! And nice fish too!

Speaking of big boats going fast, my old Grady White 25 Sailfish would hit 50 mph (Loran) with its twin 200 Evinrudes. I only did it once just to see what top end was, I could heard the gas being sucked out of the tank.
