Tried it out this weekend, and it really didn't do much, if anything. I GPSd 68.3 downriver with a 2.4 mph current. Previous best was 65.5mph. The topper was one of the loader bolts didn't seal, and I was working the bilge pump overtime all weekend. Still better than staying home, though
I'll be putting the rock grate back on and returning the loader. Shelley and Dana can learn with this boat, and we can use it for family cruises. I'll be looking for another boat to put some power to.
