Steve-
I have a 21 ft. Boulton 350 chev and kodiak 3 stage pump. It has proven to be more fun than a Jetski so far, and much more useful. The biggest problem I have found so far is that my planing speed is somewhat faster than that of the smaller boats, so I am forced to either sit and wait or carefully pass them. While I don't like to pass on a river, I always try to do it with a smile and a friendly wave. I also try to repay other fisherman by indicating the whereabouts of fish that won't take my offerings. Someone should have the chance to fight those magnificent buggers even if I am less than a fine fisherman. As an aside, I may have peeved a few people on the cow this weekend because in trying to learn the river (now that I am able to run it) I did more running around than a fine fisherman would do!!! LOL If you see the viper blue Boulton, be sure to say HELLO.
