That's simply freezing there Frankie. lol Now if I can only get the temperature to stay at 40 I'd be happy.

Re: Newbe Here

Hey mole , I lived in Northern N.J. up by the ski resorts ( Great Gorge, Hidden Valley, and Vernon Valley ) and put up with the cold for 21 yrs, then one day me and the wifey poo said the hec with it and moved down...never regreted it either. It's great to boat all yr round. Now all I have to do is find the time! Ah, I don't go as much as I would like but there's no hurry either. There's always some sort of fish running at ant given time, I love it! But I do use alot of fuel when I fish...a normal near shore adventure...I run total mls approx. 55-65 mls thats at, um, 2.5 mls per gal. and if I go OFF shore 60-70 mls. figure with trolling and moving from spot to spot, pretty close to a full tank. But it doesn't get any better than that, the water in the Gulf of Mexico that far out is colbalt blue...almost purple, unbelievable.

Hi , I have a 96 2302 with a 150 on it , how fast can you get your boat going , I max out at 25 knots, I would think it should be more.

thanks
