TexasRed and I took the little Sea Hunt out today for the first time with a new Evinrude E-tec 90 to replace the ailing Johnson 70. Performance is very good with a 17" SS prop. At 4000 rpm it was cruising at 24-25 kts and WOT was a 34 knot avg. Midrange power is awesome.
As for the fishing it was a little slow, but we took some quality fish three hours on either side of the low. Reds at 29.5, 30 and 31 inches and a few puppies. Shrimp was everywere and was working well as bait. The biggest fish came on a 4" pinfish dragged along the bottom.
