Cool I fish the ocean in bog swells woth a 15 hp outboard motor amd helps a lot in this conditions tho get on plane amd ride above most of them the strongest the moter the better but cool tho

[@dayliving2020]

What brand is your outboard? And do you also have inflatable? 15hp is nice but its heavy, with 6hp you can launch from anywhere. I launched from beach before for ocean fishing, 15hp would be difficult to carry.

@@dayliving2020 it’s not heavy for me and I carry it and launch form a lot of place I have a 16 ft Saturn heavy duty with transon wills that is how I get my exercise tho in life woth alum floor to the SD488 I bleave heavy duty it’s a little work bit worth it tho my motor weigh 120 but I’m 50 amd have no problem tho is a little heavy but good speed amd get on plane fast to tho

Looks like a blast! What is your top speed with the 6 hp on this boat?

[@dayliving2020]

On river in flat conditions 16-17mph loaded with stock propeller, my boat is very light, under 80lb. I changed to different propeller for more thrust but lower top speed which lowered it to 14-15mph

Did u have a pool noodle keel or was it flat bottom?

[@dayliving2020]

Honestly, I don't remember if I used noodle keel on this trip, I try to use it, but sometimes I forget. Noodle does improves stability and speed.
