Well Derek I know when we fish in the Skeeter it's a 21 foot boat with 50 gallons of fuel and tournament live wells that are full of water it 5 batteries and gear and me and Vick in it and when you take your foot off the gas pedal the boat idles just fine with no wake at all what I'm saying is you would have had to be out there to see what we mean me and you have fished around each other many many times and never have you heard a complaint from me because you never did that and neither did I and we aren't saying all these were bass boats either!!!!
