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.

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.

Them are some pretty good numbers man. A friend has a 248 with twin 225 EVINRUDES, the fastest we got it up to was 53 MPH in the intercoastal waterway. He told me to let off as he was about to SH!T himself! It started chine walkin around 52, so he didn't want to go any faster. Although it didn't have much more in it. It sure could go through some fuel though, 200 gallons didn't take it very far.

I'm not too sure how far we ran total, but we went about 7 miles offshore. I cant remember how far it is from the boat landing to the gulf though. But we have 3/4 of a tank left according to the gas gauge and the tank only had about 100 gallons in it when we left. Did i just say only 100 gallons?

Nice job on the boat and nice catch. Thanks for the report.

I've got a single Yamaha rated at 220HP on mine and I get about 34 MPH @ 4500RPM. I've never pushed it beyond that but with 1000RPM left I don't think I'd hit 40MPH.

I usually find myself crusing around 23-24 Mph too in decent chop and it's a fairly nice ride. The one complaint I do have is crossing following seas or large wakes at a shallow angle. Every now and then she seems to dig in the chine up forward and gives enough of a roll to catch you off gaurd.

Congrats!


My hopes of snapper are dashed! Our new regs make them not worth fishing for!

I wish Bama had the fishing for snapps in state water lil you guys!

Stinky why you trailer your boat to florida and fish florida? I can give you a couple good coordinates if you need them.
