Well finally got some flat water to run the boat WOT today. With the CMC plate on it hole shot is actually the same....still sick but that's typical for a Ranger, they're fast out of the hole. I actually LOST about 2 mph and she chine walks real easy now and does NOT run well in rough water going with the waves. All in all, I'm not at all happy but BPS said I can return it. Talked to my tech, he suggests a hydraulic, so I'm leaning towards the Atlas 6" from Cabelas with a low water pick up on my lower unit. We'll see.
Good thing was I went out to my famous flats and found very few smallies...big but few. So I went to one of my honey holes....a tourney hot spot tucked way away in nowhere land and the water was 7 degrees warmer a whopping 57 degrees and the toads were BEDDING! That's right bass fans, I saw at least 3 beds with active luv makin spawning going on and did some sight fishing for a 19+ lb stringer of my best 5 within an hour. Never seen the spawn this early before even up there. Maybe there is sumpin to this global warming scare tactic stuff......NAHHHHHHHH!
