Thanks guys!!
It was a blast!! It was well worth it just to see all the wild life! At one point I had to put it in nutrual in mid troll. A mother whale and her calf was coming right for us, I say they dot with in 30 feet or so then sounded down. BS the motor ran great with a few small issues, but we got back home so that's a good day! Yes we used 28 gal of gas, with all are tuna gear and 4 guys (1000) and a 110 gal of fuel. We were going 25 mph with ot any problems! That new prop made all the difference! phester Chum stuck that tuna so hard, I had to cut the thing out when I got home to get it As far as weight, I was 325 last spring, went down to 310 in july, then when I was sick in the hos. I went to 275. I am back to 290 right now, But now that I can exercise a little I am going to try to keep it off! I got all the fish cut up into roasts, Thats all I had left in me today!! In the morning I am going to steak everything up and Vac Seal them all up. Be eatting Tuna all winter!

Now this is the kind of post I like to see--not that political stuff. Looks like a great day on the water. Glad to hear your motor ran pretty well for you MJ. In one of the pics it looks like it has the ox up on a plane and scooting along pretty well.
MJ, sorry to hear about all your pain. You look good in the pics though. Looks like you have lost a bit of weight. Hope you are back to 100% real soon.

Thanks guys!!
Lumber if you hurry I will be steaking that stuff up in the next hour or two!! We make you a big sandwich! Nipper that motor had us up on plain like nothing! It really did pretty good, I had a 17p prop before and did not like it much. I was concerned about yesterday cause when we tested the motor it really did not perform all that well with 1/2 tank gas and BS and I. But I bought a 15 X 15 1/4 prop, and what a difference!! Right up on plain and a nice ride! I hoping to get healthy over the winter, and be ready to go when spring rolls around! I am happy to end this season this way!! It was a great time!! But who said the season is done?? Keep your eys open cause you never know what team maco will be doing next!
