Sweet Phat, let us know when the spanish start running down there.

For the last few years that's been my official notice that Spring has arrived.

What kind of bass boat? The whaler?

Took my new to me SUNDANCE out yesterday for it's first little trip to the lake. Now I gotta find a prop to stop the porpoising.

So that's what they look like in the water!
It's all coming back to me.....now I remember.

All kidding aside thanks for sharing.
The weather here is VERY slowly turning for the better.

got about another month before spanish arrive. water temp is still 62-63, needs to be 68-70.

the boat i'm messing with is a 15.5 cajun stick steer w/ 40 hp mariner. 98 model. belonged to my dad, after he passed away 5 years ago, i went out in it 3 times. decided to sell it & the whaler and maybe getting a larger skiff like ferms to scallop out of.

glad ya'll liked it.

Let me know what you end up running Ferm, still have a little more setting up to do on mine, but thinking I might need a 4 blade.

The wide beam skiffs porpoise BAD! I'm looking at either a powertech scd4 16 pitch, spitfire 4 blade aluminum, or a michigan wheel 4 blade aluminum xhs. With the way it porpoises, I'll probably have to put a fin on the engine to help hold the bow down.
