Consider the fact that speed of sound under water is 5 times faster than in the air!

My brother always tells me of these long runs to their spots. sometimes they are 50 or 60 miles away from the launch ramp. when they get close to their spot they would come of plane and go in with the quiet trolling motor. word to the wise when going that fast... keep your mouth closed  | |

I've sold powerboats for a couple of decades and I love to see a Bass Boat properly set up like those shown. | |

You and me both. they looks great ripping up the water with a big roostertail. they also sound pretty cool when they are coming towards you from a distance. now if I could only get my SUV to sound like that ha ha ha ha ha | |

Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Port St. Lucie FL Posts: 1,746 | how long does a tank of gas last when doing 90 in a bass boat? With all the resistance of the water against the boat, it needs alot of gas to maintain 90...
