Ricky.... Many thanks Sir!! We spoke only a short while on the phone but in that time and from reading your responses here on W.C., you helped me get some very decent performance!

The boat is a 2011 Alumacraft Trophy 175 sportin' a Yamaha F150. 19p Yamaha Reliance S.S. prop and the engine raised one hole. And the hole shot ain't to shabby either!

As you can see by the gauge in the lower left, it has about 3/4 of a 38 gallon tank. A full front live well holding 10 nice crappies. A full rear "bait" well. Basically a two person tournament load. Not some gutted shell.

ACTUALLY.....

All the boat specs are all correct but the gauge speed reading is a tad optimistic.

The bottom number un the H-Bird is speed via GPS. At little different but still above my self imposed goal of the big FIVE-OH. What you see is kind of a topped out average, with 51 and change being the actual top speed.

Still... Without Ricky's knowledge, I'd still be plodding along wishin' for more. Thanks again!!
