    The 101 thrust law is stupid imo. I'm not taking a glass boat out on a lake without a 101. Dunno why but I have a issue with small tm's.
    wow...lol. my 80 lb seems plenty fast on a 20 ft skeeter..lol

    I know I don't think right when it comes to tm's. Just annoying when you're cutting across a small bay or something and you're hardly moving. But at the same time I see no need to put a 300 merc on a boat and do 100mph. I just want stupid fast speed on my tm's!!!

    I have a 16' jon w/ 50# tm and I scoot across lakes pretty good. Yeah I know, lighter boat vrs the big heavy fiberglass sure the lighter one sails with a tm. My point exactly, why use the big ole heavy boats if ya can't utilize the outboard except at idle speeds? Maybe it's the only boat ya have I understand that but if you've got a jon and a tm and/or lower horse power (20 or less) not only are ya not tempted to go faster but also not creating as much waves for the other fishermen on the lake.

    Just my thoughts

    ummmm.....because a 21 ft. bass boat is much more comfortable to fish out of!
