Jill and I were out on LC tonight enjoying the fact that everybody has gone home from the big weekend. Beautiful evening.

I was driving the Scorpion 18 back to the docks, when I saw this bass boat throwing a wicked rooster and really, really moving. Of course, I sensed an opportunity to go check out a bass boat.

Wow! I never even got close running in the low 70's. When we did get behind him idling through the marina, I saw the 300. Is it even legal to put that kind of motor on an 18 foot bass boat?

I was impressed to say the least. I wouldn't even think about trying to out run a Classic 16OB with one of those things on it.

Never saw a 300 on an 18. I saw one on a 21 Triton, and that thing was a monster. It left nothing but a mist on my face.
