    Losing a crappie or two to the prop won't be a big deal......as long as we get 6 or 8 for supper.

    Sell your short rods?

    Fight from the bow?

    Turn small circles to keep fish from getting in the motors?
    Dolphin and tuna are like planer boards - use that to your advantage.

    Otherwise let David drive.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

Be interesting to know what the top end is on either of those boats vs say vs say 350 Mercs and 300 Yamahas respectively.
    We are just getting through the break in period on the Sportsman 32 with the 425's. Top end is around 64. The impressive part is the torque throughout it's range.

    The Merk 350's top end on the 32 Tidewater is 54. It lacks the hole shot or torque at any speed. It is plenty but not impressive. The bow is impressive. Cuts the waves well and extra layout room for the womens.

    600 has a transmission in it and steering is done at the LU.

    Will be interesting to see if any of that trickles down over time as well as how it holds up.

    Fish don’t switch sides if they’re under control. Do you know how to get a fish under control?

    2oof hasn’t said anything funny in a decade and you’re tucking it up over THAT?

    Okay, DT. So you’ve got it all figured out now? How come you asked that dumbass question?
