    Re: (critter)

    Get a plate on it and try a 25 fury. Preferrably, an 8 inch plate.

    beautiful boat, must have been a helluva deal to fly down, rent a truck and long drive home, I love the colors, as for setup, I would get with someone that has the same boat and see what they are doing

    I would go 8" on the plate. I had 6 and had to add 2" to get to drive halfway decent.
