That looks like a much better number than we had before Wouter. Let's leave the tackle number at 350lbs for now to cover all tackle, wiring, cables, hardware, safety gear, ice, drinks, anchor, chain, rope and other miscellaneous items on the boat.

I'll rerun the numbers and come up with new prop numbers. Barraman is right we should pick up a bit of speed. :D

Made some progress, fairing the gunnel is taking some time, but I've got the back broken!
