I used to be able to navigate it an hour either side of mean low tide... now I'm pushing it and hour and a half either side of high... so instead of running around the outside ( ocean front which is not feasible when the mouth is cranking) I can raise the engine and scoot across the shallow spots like I did in the tin boat days...I added a power tech 4 blade prop to aid in the higher engine height..I added a water pressure gauge and height indicator to keep from cooking the motor...
You going drag racing?

LMAO... to an outsider I guess that would appear like it...No Mike..speed is not my motivation. by having the ability to lift the engine I can sneak over the mussel shoals and sand bars and run shallow channels earlier in the tide.. .. I'm a shallow water fisherman... I fish the Merrimack and Ipswich bay.. cranes beach... going "outside" along the ocean front is a long way around ( and on many occasions the ocean is to wild to go outside) to get to fish inside in the Rowley,Parker,Ipswich and several other smaller rivers that converge are with in eye sight of the Merrimack but are off limits unless I make a long run or hit the tide just right so I can run the Plum Island river.. it's less than 3 miles running the PI river and about 13 to go around and back inside... years ago.. the army corps. dredged the PI river so access to the bay from the Merrimack could be possible at almost any tide... since they stopped in the early 70's the marsh has taken over and filled in a good deal of the ( plum island) river making it unnavigable for anything other than a small tin boat for the majority of the tidal cycle... by adding a jack plate my boat can now easily run that with only 12" of water or even less..besides..he who dies with the most toys wins!

A good run is better than a bad stand!
