I will never put that train trestle looking mount on the front of my boat! I do have 3 interstate's in mine as well. I have a Bob's 10" that added weight as well but in a little chop can run solo at 47 loaded. If no chop, I get the porpoise action and if I add my co angler we are topping out at 38 - 40 with a smooth ride. Any faster than than that then hang on and tie everything down!
