Can someone explain this to me why this happens !

[BADAZZTRITON]

Ok, i'm from shreveport, la and we have a WBT touney coming up and i met up with Juanita Robinson and her husband today and was gonna get her familiar with some places on the river and where she can and cant run it. I noticed when she got in the boat, that it would run faster and i'm really not sure why. This morning when it was cool it was running around 68-69 wot and trimmed up. When she was in there it was running 72 GPS. Can someone please explain this to me ? If it has to do with prop height, does that mean i need to lower it down some more ?

Thanks in advance ! By the way, Juanita and her husband are really great people and she made me laugh all day with some of her stories. Wish her luck in their upcoming tourney if you know her.

what r the fish doin up there? is the river at pool are is it still high? and is it clearing up?

[BADAZZTRITON]

It is some kind of high still. Very muddy and a ton of current. Not to mention, with all the rain that they just had up in oklahoma this weekend, i'm sure it's gonna go back up and get worse. The fish are still being caught. Some friends of mine had a tourney yesterday and 15 pounds won it, so they are there and willing to bite. A friend of mine was culling at 6:20 and they started at 6 so they are really aggressive and hungry.

I don't know about passenger but my 202 is 2-3 MPH faster with full tanks than near empty.

Its all in how you set up your rig to begin with. If you set it up light, it will run better light, and vise verus. I set my rig up like I fish it, loaded.

Could be with all that gas the boat is balance just perfect,which allows it full WOT.

I would say all in the balance.
