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
My bad, I assumed that the 65.5 was also going downriver in a similar current.

Holy shit! Bein' squeezed for commission on something I don't even offer! I'll include it in the money from all that Antney Boats swag I'm making. BTW, did you ever find someone ELSE that has one?

God am I glad my wife doesn't read the boards, I have and still am taking shit from her about the name on the scoop, but it is what it is.

Todd,
Thanks for the offer.... about all I have to adjust is the ride plate, and to be honest, this sucker is REALLY aired out at 65. I don't have a split bowl, so a droop is out of the question. I could try a shoe, but the E housing doesn't have a lot of metal to mount one.
I'm not getting rid of this one. I'll probably leave it at the river house, and buy another boat to build. I've always wanted to restore a Hondo, but with a Panther? Yeesh. Maybe if I found a Rogers to play with.......
Funny!...i know where there is one!
