    Hole shot

    Don't understand the big deal about hole shot. I am running a 920 with 250 PRO SX . With 26 Fury 3. I do not try to lighten my load . Always loaded ready to fish with at least 1/2 tank of gas. I have a goog hole shot. Sure a G2 or Sho or maybe the v6 mercury may beat me a first 100 yrds out of the hole. But they need to stay out of my way. Because I am going by. I spent 2 days setting my motor right where I wanted it. Most people think they are are getting best performance out of there boat From factory. WRONG 1111. I have spent years setting my motors up. As far as handlig of boat . It at least 90 percent driver.................

    I think Mr edd here deserves a pat on the back for being able to set up a boat haha. But don't be so sure about that staying out of your way... I might have a bird soon and I'm always down for a boat race
