Welcome to the forum Rico! Got pics?

Worse on a 2 toon boat because it never gets out of the water on plane!

Thx! Just the plain old aluminum ladder with an extra rung! I'll try to move the transducer to the outside!

Good video! I have done everything he is suggesting! I've had it flat with the bottom of the toon! I've tilted the transducer down a few degrees where the rear sits a bit below the toon! But I do have the keel that he mentioned pretty much directly in front of the transducer that could be...

Here you go Laurence. The ladder and Simrad transducer position.....One extra step makes a big difference for me! I can probably move the transducer down a little more to see if it'll read at speed!

We have had Tumacs and Sunbrella. Both fabrics have done well over the years but to be honest the Sunbrella is a more premium heavy duty breathable fabric that lasted longer than the Tumacs cover! Sure you may pay a little more but it's worth it! Just my opinion......

When we had our son's Lab on the boat she would swim to the ladder and we would help her up by just grabbing the built in handle on the top of her swim vest. After awhile she would just go up the ladder herself!

Sandkey when buying our boat it came with the single bimini but we wanted a double. We ordered the frame for the front Bimini and the dealer installed it. The factory also sent the fabric. The tricky part was the front Bimini fabric had to "marry" the rear Bimini fabric for a clean install. The...

It's right there below the ladder so I can easily move it around so no big deal! Our previous Bennington read depth at all speeds. It wasn't a Simrad. Just a regular digital depth gauge!

Is this lake near you guys in Michigan?https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/adults-children-rescued-after-boat-flips-over-in-commerce-lake/

Man I would be on pins and needles the whole time I was on the water! Just knowing that you could hit a stump at any time would drive me nuts!!! I don't think I would boat til the water came back up again!!!

Good move going to stainless Stringbean! Next time you have a chance to look at your prop the info is stamped on it like this.....

Apologies I didn't see Jacks or Vikingstaffs post when I answered. Didn't mean to repeat their questions.....

Welcome to the forum Stringbean! We get this question a lot. There are a few factors that can affect your overall top speed. First of all what kind of prop do you have on there now? Material, size and pitch? What are your RPMs at wide open throttle? Are your pontoons clean or dirty? Are you...

Thx! I'll keep moving it til I get results!
