I have a new 06 Sabre that came with the Opti 115 on a factory installed jack plate. Not looking for max speed, just a good stable cruise of about 40-50 mph. The boat handles and rides better than any other boat I have been in: Champion, Ranger, Skeeter,… just need a little better hole shot.As I mentioned, a Laser II 22P, a slow, but barely acceptable hole shot and WOT 5300 rpms, 48 mph gps .With either of my sons (each about 220 lbs). An impossible 16 – 20 sec (or more) to plane, WOT 5200 and 45 mph gps.Vent plugs, jack plates and 4 or 5 blade props are new to me. Last boat was a 89 Hyra Sport that spent more time in the air than on the water, so never worried about a hole shot, just landing. Thanks

Tell me about it ..$$$$$ journeymen baseball players getting 2.5mil to collect pine splinters. Cant speak for the rest of you, but my wife and I wont see 30mil in our lifetime. (And breaking 1 mil in a career is a big deal in fishing) Better stop before I really start a rant … John

What did you use to cut the plastic? I tried a Sabre saw – no pun intended-and the cut would close up behind the blade because the saw blade will get hot and melt the plastic. Thanks John

6 years, $60 mil with $32 mil guaranteed. And it is not enough. Includes a skill or injury clause. The skill part of the clause means if Russell is cut because he isnt playing well enough, he still gets the $32 mil. Anybody out there have money guaranteed by your employer if you dont do your job? I dont.

Well, at least you werent in 1st place … Or running out of gas on the last restart at Atlanta and falling from 1st to 24th!!!

Same problem, but mine came from a slip at Clear Lake that had a loose bumper and it separated from the dock during the night. Boat sat there all night bouncing of the dock – wood and angle iron- took a thumbnail size chunk out of the bow and scratched it up pretty bad Just spent a few hours today tracking down a few glass repair places. Anybody have ballpark idea of what cost should be? Thanks, John
