Some running pics of the 222, and fish!
« on: August 14, 2006, 02:37:46 PM »
Here is the OptiMax coming out of the hole, and some fishing rods and rigs in the rodholders.  





And here is a shot of the console guages under way.  Around 4000 rpm and the boat does between 28-31 mph, all depending on wind speed/direction and current and load, of course.  But the tach is at around 4000, the battery is charging at a little bit above 14V, the Water pressure is a seady 8psi, 1/2 tank of gas and the temp guage is where it always is and should be, nice.  


Finally a shot of Bonito that we had caught this past Saturday and Sunday, it was a helluva weekend for the Bones.

If you would have fished out of your Aquasport you would have caught a lot more fish....................

I know, this past Friday night we fished out of the AS, however we ran 25-30 miles out on Saturday and Sunday and we figured that we'd take the more infinitely capable rig, the Scout.  The AS could have easily made the run, however, in some parts of the shoal-ey water, where it is all riled up and confused 2-4 footers, would have made for some pretty slow and wet going.  The Scout with its Deep-V, trim tabs and extra weight, higher freeboard made much better work of cleaving the tough stuff.  

I'm hoping I can get one day before the end of the season up here to get some good running shots of the 222.
