I ran a 2005 38 at LOTO with 496's ( still for sale on line ) and the best we could get out of it was 72 on GPS - three in the boat and almost no fuel. My 05 with 525's is a steady 85 mph GPS boat with hydromotive custom 5 blades. The best I could ever get out of it with these new props was 87 and that was this October in perfect conditions.

Knot 4 me,
Good to hear from you! The river was pretty quiet this year. We were out most every weekend. We made quite a few trips to the gravel pit, but there was never more than a dozen boats in there at any time. Hope to see you all out next year!

Rich,
Good to hear from you. Did not run into you last year while we were in the ozarks. Seemed to me that the lake was dead this year compared to years past.
We should be there during the last two weeks of July. We are also looking at running up the Michigan coast some time next summer for something different to do.

Ha Tim
Ya we missed seeing you there last year. We will be there the last full week of July I know for sure, other then that we will be down at least every other weekend through the summer. We have a place at the 14 mm if you get down that way. I'm not on here as much as I use to be so it may take me a while to respond as you can see
Hope your winter is going well, talk to you soon.
