    I though my boat was kinda fast until.......

    Here I am running accross lake okeechobee at 71 mph thinking I running kinda fast, when out of nowhere comes a white basscat looking boat with a 300x that passed me by over 30mph after that 70mph felt slow all the way across the lake, it's wierd how that works!
    I will be reproping to get back to the high 70's but wow he was cruising!

    I did mean fastcat, But I didn't think they broke 100mph and this guy was cooking,
    I have a prop that runs 76-78mph i am going to put that on for a trip just to feel like I am somewhat fast again.
    The fastest bassboat I ever rode in was my friend Brads Liberator Bass catboat or something like that and it had some 330hp promax or something like that with both of us and and tackle 3/4 tank we hit 106 GPS he said he had to 109 mph he also had a Liberator speed boat cat thing that ran 118mph but I was good at 106.

    Well I'll just have to stick with what I got, my boat is max hp 225 and if I want to fish the FLW series bfl I think it is plenty fast, most everyone has a ranger and they ain't gonna catch me, you take a new ranger with 250 and load it with gas and gear and put some water in the livewell and your lucky to see 72mph and that is 70% or the damn field

    Re: I though my boat was kinda fast until....... (trashy)

    So true! My biggest problem is I love super shallow nasty stuff and always need that viscous holeshot without cavitation.
    You guys just have some awesome machines, to do those speeds!
    I just got a wife, 2 kids(1yr and 3yr)at home and a bought and paid for fishing boat that gets the job done the best it can and I am thankful for that for now.
    But I still love your super fast boats, they are wicked!!!!

    On my black Stroker, it is a 100 MPH boat with a stock 250 AND you can prop it with a 28 or 29 pitch prop during a tourney and have a GREAT holeshot. It's the best of all worlds with the STROKER....................

    Thought I saw one parked by your rig at the Gambler T, Maybe some speed rubbed off

    Re: I though my boat was kinda fast until....... (STRATOSEXTREME ROY)

    My nephew did great for a 10yr old he is really comming together and I really put him in some really hard stuff to fish and he kept going all day.
    We only had 11.77 lbs but he still had a good time!
    I will try to fish a club team trail with him to get him some wins, I explained to him it's ok not to win all the time, even though i don't believe it myself!
