hey tom, do you ever even put that trolling motor in the water? or is it on there just so you can say you outran them in your "BASS BOAT" :lol: :lol: ?

 

[Tom Foley]

Robin ...not much on outrunning people ..but the "conventional Bass Boats " are checked out on pretty easily . Now Bullets and some others will haul lots of mail !, and they all get tricky around 90 mph , and they all will make you soil your shorts if something goes wrong !!! I like the 60 - high 80's roll on myself , after that you are really drivin ! Oh yeah ...I have dropped the trolling motor a time or two ,,works good but still haven't boated a fish in her ...too busy bench racing and popping tops ! :lol:

Eric Canto is the fisherman not me !

ok, tom, but allisons are plenty fast, also B) . growing up in miami, my neighbors set the miami to new york record in a 16' allison, with a merc "tower of power". back in the '60's. no seats, stood up the entire way ! standard hull, off the showroom floor. only mods were a larger than normal fuel tank, strapped to the cockpit floor & removed the windshield. 46 hrs & 48 minutes, actual run time. brooke russell & his son, ronnie. neat neighborhood to grow up in. them, alan rebell, ricky lindheimer, ted swing, gary wood (gar wood's grandson) - to name a few that lived on my canal alone. fast boats have been in my blood for over 50 years. i know about the soiled shorts, had the steering lock on my hydrasports running the ochlochnee river above lake talquin, over just west of tallahassee. found later that one cable had been broken for some time . thank god the other seized, & didn't break....................
