DD, you need to ditch the buckets and go to 5' drift socks. Prolly 2 to get your boat down below 2 mph. Considering they're not that cheap, you might want to borrow Feelay's at Washington and test to see what his size will do on your boat to see what size you'll need. Those buckets just aren't cutting it. Also, Cabellas has some on sale right now.

BTW, what's the point of the holes in the buckets? Mine are stock.
