I fish local tournaments, and getting to the fish in a hurry is key, that's why you see pros with huge 300hp motors. The lake I fish on has 900 miles of shoreline. Besides, I've always liked speed. I've raced snowmobiles, motocross, dirt sprint cars, etc. all of my life. LOL! We share one thing in common then. When I fished the NE BASS amateur trail, I always got a kick out of guys with monster engines on bass boats. Of course the same logic of getting to the fish firstest/fastest was the primary motive according to them. I was interviewed once for The Fisherman after I won a tournament and one of the questions was about the boat and engine - was a monster engine necessary the guy asked. So I answered honestly - No it wasn't. To which I added - I just like to go fast. :) Speaking of monster engines... I stopped by my favorite dealership yesterday to say hello to the guys, and noticed they had a large steel rolling motor stand with a Yamaha F350 on it. Good grief. I knew the motor was, uh, large, when I saw one on the back of a Grady a few months ago, but to see one on a stand, fully extended, as it were, so the skeg was just a few inches off the floor...holy tamale! They are monsters aren't they? I saw a pair of them rigged on a 26' Contender heading up to the Boat Show in Boston. Unbelievable. |
