Stop splitting hairs, Reggie. At really low speeds, my

And how often do you run at really low speed? We
thought you were on the
fast track, getting out to those fish as
quickly as possible. Virtually everyone I know with a
boat that will
run at planing speeds can't wait to get up and moving
because the ride
is so miserable at slow speed.


Obviously your circle is filled with jerks.

We spend some time exploring the smaller rivers and
creeks around here,
and when we do, slow speeds are the way to go. My Parker
rides just fine
at slow speeds, and at those speeds, you can barely hear
the engine and
there is no exhaust smell. It's great being out in all
that air, just a
few feet above the water. You see things you simply
cannot see if you're
on an RV barge.

Of course, you wouldn't be able to take that oversized,
diesel-smelling
barge into some of the waters we frequent...

And my type boat can explore those same streams and rivers
when they are
shallower and at speed.


Exploring at speed !
