    Sounds about right. I lost 1-2mph with just one pole.

    yep 2 to 3... thats about what you lose...but you gain a whole lot more than the little speed loss...

    the weight of the poles, and pumps for two poles is more than you would think...like carrying an extra battery in the back of the boat...maybe a little more if you got the old style poles...
