deer creek in my new boat

[Bduck]

Glad to see your maiden run worked out, always have adjustments to make. You even got the initial skunk subdued, blood & guts are an excellent break-in, its beginning to smell a lot like fish.    Sometimes when I'm fishing a lake like Rockport or E Canyon I'll run 1 line on a downrigger & the other just long lining with good results catching. When I bought my is current boat out of Washington it was propped for sea level. Using Willard Bay as test ground this altitude, I was only able to get up with WOT 3800rpm and about 30mph with a 20-pitch prop. Installed a 15P put me at 6200rpm bringing speed up to 40mph. About 6000rpm is about the max threshold for my motor, however when going to higher elevation the performance is under 6000rpm at 5600-5800rpm. Unlike the bass guys I do not need to be there 3hrs ago, therefore I do not run WOT under normal circumstances which I bring motor down to about 4000rpm for cruising. This 15P prop also gets the boat out of the hole and not sluggish getting on plane.
