[Dave C]

no..... I had a 22 ft cat that was a lot lighter that wouldn't wheel the 30 on a hot day... but if you don't mind the 15 minute plan time, I say go for it!! :crossx:

Are you trying to squeeze every last drop out of your boat to keep up with Miguel? :cry:

I started this thread because I wanted the opinion of the masses...
I won't name names yet but a certain CA boat builder delivered a new boat to some friends of mine saturday with a 30 on it...we pretty much figured that it was WAY over-propped (for sure after driving it :220v: ) and kinda wondered why they even bolted it on?? Did THEY think it was gonna work?
Or maybe they expected him to have no more than 10 gallons in it and leave his wife, daughter, friends and coolers on the beach all the time??
