Thanks for the pics. Nice to see how it drafts in the water! Also setup right with a setback plate, bow mount and plate for the vantage!!! Now I can see why George got decent numbers with that setup!!!

Why does it need to have a setback plate?

Good question. With the 3" setback it would be too long for my garage.

Come to think of it. The I-3 E-TECS usually give the best results with the BRP 4 blade Rogue. Since the fuel tank is in the bow the E-TEC is fitted with a Viper (a bow lifting prop) and the 3" setback to get the bow out of the water. Just a guess on my part.

Looks like 19'9" with the swing tongue open.

I agree BW. HRG would look great in the Ranger 175T.

Guys sorry been quiet but my wife and i went to Duluth for last two days celebrate 30 years.

I tried to get all the numbers last Saturday and forgot the backtroll speed. The motor actually was at high idle though

Boom lake actually had some nice wind to the point that we took down banners from the tents for fear of doing damage to the alum framework.

Any questions please give me a call 1-218-255-3535

Dang! I'll be out of town for a family get together.

I would assume there will be a 175T here?
