Title: my way into work this morning.
Post by: Aswaff400 on February 23, 2012, 08:32:59 PM: go pro video of my way to work this morning, winds SW 10 to 15 knots, thick fog, little choppy, ran wide open in the beginning through the neighborhood, then about 25-26 mph rest of the way burning 12.2 GPH

normally it takes me 16 minutes dock to dock on a flat day running 40+, it took me about 25 minutes this morning couldnt go above 25 this morning without beating the boat up. even with the not so perfect weather, its still a relaxing way to start the day

:cheers:

Even though you post a Florida lifestyle video in the middle of the winter...even though...we still feel affection for you up here.

Don't do it again.

Post by: seabob4 on February 23, 2012, 11:53:12 PM: Love the protected waters where Aaron lives, and his way out into the bay, then the waters change...somewhat. The bay gets "sporty" at times, I've been out in 2 to 4s just outside of the breakwater by the Pier, tough to make headway, and those are totally confused 2 to 4s...not fun. Couple miles N of Aaron's marina...

A 29 footer works well, with a 22.5 degree deadrise... :thumleft:

Title: Re: my way into work this morning.
Post by: Aswaff400 on February 24, 2012, 11:07:04 AM: 14-1/2 x 19 4-blade omc renegade. Same blade design as my current prop but bigger diameter less pitch. Going for better hole shot.
