Went to Lew today with little more than quarter of a tank of gas and turned 6100 rpm's with top end speed at 75.8mph. I think the motor is set just right on the jackplate. I'm not used to a rooster tail being as high as it was, but with that speed I'm not too concerned. I've always been told that a tall rooster tail means that you are losing some top end speed. Although, I'm happy with where it's at.
Happy Holidays, OT!

Not yet, but I'm still figuring things out with this ride. Biggest problem so far it's Aggie colors. May have to get my hot orange paint out for Friday night game. Red has got a say in this, too, before I paint a Mike Gundy mullet on the side....it's half his. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/12/full-6127-34117-fx20le1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/12/full-6127-34118-fx20le2.jpg)

You beat me to it, I was going to say you are going to look smarter on the water in those Aggie maroon colors. Aggie ribbing aside, like the color scheme for real...classy
Gig'em!

You're rooster tail should be no higher than the engine cowl for a good fishing and load carrying set-up. Anymore than that and you're wasting prop energy to slip.
