:mrgreen: My dream boat. *sigh*

I researched new boats for almost 3 years before I finally decided on the Predator. Couldn't be happier. Only complaints I have is if the wind catches the back end while on the TM the stern tries to catch up with the bow. (The bow is a deep v and the stern is a modified v which just sits on top of the water.) It doesn't have a cooler(I'm using the stern livewell) Also should have got the 101lb thrust TM instead of the 80. Not as fast as most of the 'glass bass boats I fish against, but it handles rough water like a dream. The 225 ProXS is better on fuel and oil than the 90 ELPTO I had on the Mirrocraft. The bow livewell with the dividers is great for culling bass. A ton of storage and a ton of front deck. Casting with more than 3 people ain't gonna happen, but that's true on most 20 footers. Still need to install a Hot Foot and a MercMonitor.

How do you like the iPilot Link?

 

[RiverBottomOutdoors]

Mine will do 27mph in 4 inches of water.

 

[BigTerp]

1996 Tracker Sportsman 1648MV. 1965 Johnson 5hp. With 2 guys and loaded with decoys, guns and other hunting gear it moves at a slow walking pace up river. Down river it's more of a brisk walking pace, and you can actually can feel the wind in your hair!! Ran it all fall/winter like this during hunting season. Annoying, but the 5hp was all I had and it did it's job well. Currently I'm in the middle of my mod and in the end she'll be getting a 1994 Johnson 50/35 jet. Which should do a bit better than the 5hp.

How do you like the iPilot Link?

Although I'm still in the learning curve, I really like the Link. The "spot-lock" is just ok, it can travel up to 5' from the anchor point, and since it doesn't maintain boat orientation, it's not hugely effective for holding on a spot to fish (especially with wind)...but for changing out baits, or taking fish off the hook, etc it works. The iTrack features of being able to record a track and then auto-navigate it (start to end, or end to start) are great. If you're in big wind or current it's not as effective, but it's pretty handy otherwise. I don't have the follow-map-contour features because Lakemaster doesn't have maps to cover my area. My only real complaint so far is that the remote's keys are not backlit, so they are hard to use in the dark...but I painted them with glow-in-the-dark paint which helps. Being able to use navigation features from the HB unit on the console also comes in handy too.

I've got the Terrova iPilot and I'm interested in the follow the contour. It's another $700 to add the iLink. :shock:

Same here, but I stick to 6 inches. There's a thread in jet boats explaining why I don't go in 4" anymore...
1648 Grizzly, .100", mod v, Mercury 30 jet

 

[tnriverluver]

1990 Alumacraft 16 ft MV Angler with 1998 Johnson 50hp stainless prop 33 mph GPS
2011 Tracker 1542 with 2012 Merc 20 hp 4 stroke 29 MPH GPS
both of these are me @200, a 55 lb dog, and 50 lbs of gear and tackle.

 

[bulldog]

2013 Aluma Gator 2060 with a 325 hp 5.7 small block 350 - 4 guys, full cooler and 25 gallons of gas we hit 56mph on iPhone GPS app going down river on the Missouri River.

Same boat two guys going upstream on the Meramec River we hit 55 mph. Solid 55 mph boat I think and the motor is not broken in yet.

 

[MtDewMadMan]

According to the speedo on my fish finder I run 22mph. But I'm not sure how accurate those are really.

1999 welded Tracker 1652 Grizzly
25hp Mercury w/6.5 gallon fuel cell
Trolling motor
1 Trolling & 1 Cranking battery
Around 50lbs gear including anchors
Approximately 400lbs passengers

 

[Andrew04]

Mod v 1448 unknown make, 1976 mercury 200, 20 horse. 24mph GPS.

 

[Ranchero50]

Fast enough to splatter bugs on my face...

1648ish stretched Alumacraft 1448 with a 85hp Seadoo jet I/B. Solid mid 40's, maybe higher in it's current configuration.

 

[JGibson]

My 1448 with a 40HP Johnson will do 22mhp with 4 people. I was having a little trouble with the motor so I didn't get to test it alone.
