I was checking out your web site...nice job. I use to fish the lower
river also. Many a great day on Martinez, and the little hidden lakes off the secondary channel. I don't think the river gets the credit it deserves...some mighty nice bass "livin" there g! And I would drive from San Diego just to fish it...leaving some of the best bass waters around just a mile or two from home. JK |

From just on plane to about 25 or 30 depending on the load It still does it a little bit even when I trim the motor all the way down. At higher speeds it rides very well. -- Bob La Londe Yuma, Az http://www.YumaBassMan.com |

Yeah I figure it starts to trap air in those tunnels like it is supposed to, but at slower speeds it doesn't slip it out the back. Instead it forms a lift cusion that lifts the front/middle of the boat until the trapped air slips out the side. My Skeeter doesn't porpoise at all. Then it is a typical semi V bass boat design with a narrow flat pad on the rear half of the bottom. I guess I owe you a couple pictures eh Steve? -- Steve OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

Yea, my son has a performance hull, and during the open on Meade last
month, he had some real problems...high winds and big swells. He lost some parts, almost lost the motor, tore up the trolling motor...lucky the reps were all there and put his boat back together so he could make the final day. He loves the speed, but now he is a bit more cautious in heavy weather. |

He loves the speed, but now he is a bit more cautious in heavy weather. I was thinking I might use my old Skeeter for fishing Havasu, Meade, and Powell if I get into the Miller Lite WON Bass series. Or atleast get a firend to tow it up in case the weather gets rough. -- Bob La Londe Yuma, Az http://www.YumaBassMan.com ADD YOUR WEB LINK TO THE LINK INDEX ON MY SITE |
