Yea we had the motor most the way down. The goal of the day was getting running, and learn how it feels. The top speed thing isn't a priority to me, it was just funny. The father in laws boat, we used at crappie camp, would go end for end in this lake in about 3.5 minutes. We did it in the new ride in a 45 count. So it's an upgrade none the less.

I think I might go hit the river and do some fishing tonight.

Just figured out that my onboard charger is the cause of my two bad batteries in the last few months, what a bummer!! Well that's ok I'll send it back to the company and have it repaired, well not so quick, the model I opted for (the lower priced one) they don't do repairs on. If only I would have spent the extra 70 bucks. So now I gotta get a new unit, won't be cheaping out on the next one.

Kevin,

Look at "Dual Pro" sold at Cabelas. Both my dad and I have two bank chargers and we have had good luck with them. They also have a three bank, 6 amp per bank charger as well. Really reasonably priced. Dual sorce charger that will charge wet cell or AGM (at the same time).

Hey rich that's the one that can't be repaired, I'm going to stay with that brand just go to the next model up 2 bank 10amp per bank, plus it has led's so you can monitor battery charge

Top speed on the boat was 24mph with two of us in it. Then my old man got out and top speed was 30
So note to self... If I need to win a boat race, leave the old man on shore

Naw, he needs to ride in the other boat to make sure they dont cheat!

Skillet... Were you out on the Grand River around west river drive? I just seen a nice lund similar to yours, with a gentleman fishing all by himself under the bridge. I was out that way trying my hand at a few steelhead. I seen the boat when I was leaving just a few minutes ago

Fished Murry Lake today. Trolled for some Pike/Musky, then tossed some RoadRunners for the Crappie. We caught nothing. We were only out there about 1.5 hrs.
