Haha, I think I recognize the neighborhood. Nice rig too.

I don't know if you'll catch any fish, but you'll look good doing it and get there fast. I agree sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!

bothomas · 05-03-08, 09:26 PM

Sorry they were so big. This was my first time posting pics.

WTL, take your guess on the neighborhood. You guess right and I let you drive it. You guess wrong and you buy the gas!

Actually the gas is a whole lot better on this rig than my last.

Great rig bd. Now of ourse you know me............gotta post up the performance numbers and what prop ya running. Now its time to dial her in and make her COOK.

bamabassman · 05-05-08, 06:56 PM

laser we'll see how it does next to my cajun (66 so far), and the new ranger bob's friend might bring to the get together.

bothomas · 05-06-08, 08:53 AM

ok laser, it's a 225 opti, but not a pro xs, running a tempest plus 27p with one plug in. It also has a hydraulic 8" plate. Still getting used to the plate and I'm not a great driver. wind has been blowing 10 - 15 both times I've had it out so I don't have any numbers yet. I'm guessing it may hit 75 if not heavily loaded. It won't go that fast that often though, I think at about 5k it will run mid 60's, and that is fine for me. May run it fast for the first run in the morning just to get as much out of the morning bite as possible, but after that just a steady cruise. of course 65 is pretty good steady cruise.

oh I forgot, it also has 3/8" trim extenders
