Not a guru but dangerous
They're out there but skittish - heavy fishing and boat traffic. Fall fishing for me is the best - haven't been able to break the 30in barrier yet though. 2009 pic in my album if you care to look....

Agreed

80 is fine
My 80 Terrova pulls around my 07 19Pro V just fine. I'd spend the extra cash on an I-pilot. One less battery to worry about also. Do you have a 3 or 4 bank charger? Sure 101 would be nice if the...

RPM's
Watch your RPM's on that new prop. The same 19P 4 blade will pull some RPM's off your max and you should run your Vrod at max RPM's (not sure of what that number is on the 4cyl) for at least some...
