    Floatation

    Do any of you run a Bob's 10" jackplate? If you do what have you added for extra floatation. My rig sits way low in the rear end and I'd like to see if I can raise it a little. 20XDC 300 opti.

    I wouldn't have put a 300 on the "jon boat", If I could have found a 400.

    You do a good job at making it obvious you have never ridden in a Bullet.

    Re: (transamz9)

    The water blowing off the trolling motor while at my 70MPH economy cruise speed is as wet as I have been in my boat.

    I ordered a couple of bumpers to fit in the jackplate. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Re: (Radar66)

    Kramer hit it on the head, you really should try a real boat. My 21xd is the best hull I've ever run in the rough stuff. Dry ride is an understatement.

    By the way, I'm sure all the pro staffers that get a free cookie cutter each year appreciate you buying one.

    I must ask WHY NOT????? Heres one a friend of mine owns with a 250ProXS, his father in law has a 300XS on one and I am planning on doing the same next year.



    I have to agree with Kramer. Anytime you want to get out of that Nitro and go for a ride in a REAL smooth water boat, just let me know, I can hook you up!
