Thanks for the help / advice on the water pressure question.

Now I may need to do some prop tweaking to get the speed up. I was
thinking low 20s tops but read a few posts were folks were getting more
than that. Any experience with similar combos and what top speed was?
I may be limited by the 'little foot'.
Anyway, here's a link to some (kind of dark) pics.... hope it works:

How is it towing that thing? How wide is it? Easy to launch from the
trailer? Reason I ask, is I can get one just about like that pretty
cheap, needs some work, of course, but I'd like to have it in addition
to my bass boat.
I have a 1/2 ton GMC 4x4 with towing package and hd springs... little
bounce but easy tow. I think the boat weighs 1600 lbs? Previous owner
said he towed it with a 4cyl Nissan Frontier.
Not sure on the width... 8'?
Launch / recovery is a breeze... couldn't be any easier. The center
rollers are easy to hit... and they just guide it right on.
Thanks for the info. I may go for it, it's quite a deal, and would be
nice to take the wife and kids on if I wasn't planning on fishing. It
would also be nice for fishing away from the edges, like striper
fishing!
