    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.

    Mike,
    If you ask me, you got a deal!
    You picked up 2.8 mph and aren't happy with the results? At that rate you could buy 10mph for $892.86 (assuming the loader was 250). I know plenty of folks that would like that kind of MPH/$ ratio.

    I guess I'm being picky, but the 65.5 was adjusted. The 68.3 minus the current (2.4), netted me 65.9 mph. If I'm looking at it wrong, let me know, but it seems like I only picked up .4 mph
    Jack mentioned a FAST open bow would be around 80. It'll take me LOT$$$$ to gain 15 mph, and then I hit the ceiling.
    I'm thinking I'd be better off using the money I would spend on a 15mph faster openbow on building a cool old Hondo. At least that's what I'm telling Shelley

    I love that.
    I had a feeling that is what it meant, but I had to ask anyway.
