I was out last week end on a 28 Cigarette and it looked like a floating lumber yard ! I often ponder if all massive logs are ever a threat to tugs or fireboats

We have an aluminum hull so I try not to take them head on although we only draw 2 1/2 feet and jet drives the hull is only 1/4" thick. With the old steel hull fireboat which is a tug hull we can run into concrete walls just protect the screws.

How did your new props work out? I'm takin mine up to Bandit tomorrow so I'm done for the season. Have a few minor things to take care of over the winter, mostly cosmetic, new gauges, finish the windshield and some trailer work.

i think im gonna give up. i want to send them to bblades but i don't think he is going to be able to help me. unless he knows magic that is the only thing i can think of that might work. i cant figure it out. just cant see spending the money on the props to go maybe 57 mph. the only thing i can think of is my motors are still to high. but i talked to sharkey and he had same boat with 20 in motors and his ran well. his motors were alot higher than mine. seen a couple of other boats and they were all 20 in motors on them also. might try a little more set back. if not i give up

Check out a little video of last weekend above the cove. Me and my friend were playing around with the go pro. My buddy has a cool little sea ray. Kev this is what we killed the battery on during the morning. Some of you may have seen us floating around. Its great boating with friends.
