I had the tide in my favor and it was flat. I can't believe the difference. I got lucky I guess on the first try. I can't wait to fish this boat this weekend.

I went with the suggestion made by Catalano's in Greenwich. They told me 15 1/4 x 15. I took a shot and bought one today. Took the boat out tonight and it did 5400RPM and 40MPH! Jumped right out of the hole too. I love those guys over there. They know their stuff about Yamaha's!
