Hey Steve,


How is that Triton working out? Did you manage to eak any more speed
out of
it? If so what did you do to get it?


Hi Bob,


The Triton is working out pretty well. I still need to upgrade the
electronics as they're pretty crude by today's standards. The bow locator
is a Lowrance X-45 if that gives you an indication of it's age! It's
really
obvious that they didn't have the shielding and filters that today's
locators have too. Every time I step on the trolling motor pedal, the
screen goes haywire.


And, I really should change out the trolling motor. It's kind of like my
kids, I ask for some work out of it and it whines until I slap it in the
head! :-)


But I like the boat. It has a good amount of storage and while I haven't
run it in really rough water, it seems to be fairly stable.


I swapped the Renegade Bass four blade for a 26 pitch/4 blade Trophy prop
and while it didn't change the hole-shot (which was decent), the top end
is
doing a lot better. I'm even getting speeds now where the boat is
beginning
to chine walk, just a shade over 70 mph according to my gps.


All in all, I'd have to say it's a good boat. It's not a FastCat, but
then
again no other boats are.....

Steve...have you donated any of your SPAM proceeds towards those poor
fish that may be dying in that tank that you approached with such
"dread",......... you big wind- bag ,spamming salesman,mother****er,
full of crap,usenet abuser, by golly?- Hide quoted text -
