Hi Barky - thanks again for educating me on the ling. The cabezons in puget sound Edmonds underwater park are like 50lbs and have a similar prehistoric look to them. Good thing this one was big because i was looking at the 15" limit not the 22"!
I cruise at 3-4mph with a single set of turbo finned GT drive. I have hit 10mph with good wind but that is about the hull speed limit and i was getting good pucker factor as the ama dug into the water
.
With a partner I don't see more than 5mph without wind unless we are trying to sprint.
