    Mac that was awesome thanks for sharing this with us I love how you carried the video out to the point where he's pulling up a lobster trap. Would have freaked me out to fly my drone out over that water though....

    My buddy up in Bathurst had a 45’ Provincial built about five years ago and loves it. 900hp Volvo pushes it along pretty slick!

      Oh I bet, this one is 700hp, it goes a long pretty good he's happy with it. I don't think it sees much past 1500rpm anyway lol

      @@macfarms he told me that he burns about 140 litres a day in his spring season in the Bay of Chaleur. In his summer/fall season down in the Northumberland Strait, he burns over 500 litres a day.

      26 knots is movin, I think this one he's getting 15-16 knots wide open with the basket around the blade, would go better without that. Cummins didn't really have anything with more power, not sure if he would have went bigger if he could or not. There is definitely some fast boats around now, a lot more than there was years ago.

      Thanks Mike yeah he was some happy to have it done. He fished it last season and had a few bugs go fix over this past winter but I think he has it dialed in now.

      I thought the harbour wasn't that far 🙂 great choice of engine you don't want to be stuck in the middle of the sea if it was a Paccar as Warren from Western truck and tractor repair would tell you how much he hates them. 😄👍
