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

1998 21' Sun Tracker (aluminum floor), 40 HP Merc.

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.

I pull mine with a Windstar Van with no problem. However, my trailer is the
type with the wheels under the deck inside the pontoons. I wouldn't want to
tow it too far as it rocks from side to side somewhat. A friend had his
boat, trailer and all tip over as he was turning off the exit ramp and up
onto the overpass and was hit by a gust of wind. Also, there doesn't seem
to be enough weight on the hitch. A neighbor has a drive on trailer for his
pontoon with the wheels under the pontoons and he routinely takes the rig
out of state behind his big motor home with no problems.

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!
