[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 194187, member: 4585"] Thank you very much Honky Tonkin! Im pretty proud of her. Its just a little jon boat but it sure does what I wanna do. Get me back up in the shallow water where no one else can go. Today I finally downloaded the GPS app from my phone. We have some friends from out of town staying with us and we took them for a ride on the creek. The good news is that with my 210lbs my friends 250lbs and both our wives which add up to probably 300lbs put together. 760 lbs (10 lbs over the safety sticker) just in people. plus the wood decking probably about 100lbs worth and then the motor that weighs in at 120lbs and 6 gallons of gas I was still able to run 25mph at WOT and able to get on plane no problem. I was thinking I might hit 20 if I was lucky with 4 adults and full tank of gas plus a cooler. 25mph @ WOT is way better than expected. I was able to stay on plane and cruise at 16 mph very nicely. Now I just need to see what she will do with me alone in the boat. [/QUOTE]
