Our tournie boat only goes 56 GPS. It must be a magic 208 to go over 60.. Especially in 4-5ft er

Why would anyone need to catch another boat?
If you know where someone is fishing and are a slower boat you can still get to the same spot maybe 1-2 minutes later. Its not like the faster boat is going to clean out the spot before you get there.
I have fished plenty of tourneys and never in the fastest boat but have finished ahead of people in faster boats many times.
I will stick to my 16.5' tiller with an 80hp that is fully loaded and very easy on gas and no boat payment. 35-40mph is plenty fast enough to get to the fishing hole.
Seems like lots of people turn tourneys into who has the fastest rig on the water contests.

Its always nice when people follow others when there leading after day 1, Especially when they didn't prefish that spot, I prefished the lake for 7 days ahead, Did my home work and found them, Then they follow, I know who was near us each day and they were never there,

It's a tournament. Guys are going to follow the guys that are catching fish.
it happens all the time in tourneys. a guy and his partner will be going to net a fish when another boat is cruising by and that boat will slow right down and pull into the same spot.
It sucks ya. But it is always going to happen in a tournament.

I guess not everyone has 7 days to pre-fish a tournie, but I am sure most people have the time to read a topo map.
You would be a fool to think that teams don't pay attention to the teams(team # and boat description ) that are producing and who has some good weight on the board. If your not I guess your not there too win!!
I guess its time for an upgrade on that 67 mph boat and get a 80 mph stealth boat.
LOL

Yes you are right, Even if there isn't money involved people still follow, But there are a lot of fishermen with respect that knew where we were and stayed away. But I sure hope theres a lot more people there this year, the fish are there and a person has to find the right school at the right time, Its a long ways to the far end but can be rewarding if you find them, Just need more people to come and join the crowd. Or make a crowd LOL,

post 118.
Interesting points you make about respect for a superior angler by not disturbing him in his secret spot. Not too many spots like that on Delaronde and I know them all, and not too many tournament anglers like that either. I know a lot of them also.
Methinks the cat is out of the bag.

I've personally been in a 1975 ProV GL last August that ran 64 MPH on GPS. 225 Verado with a 300 chip. Buddy said the aluminum hull will run slightly faster.

God I wish fast boats won more money... In reality it's time and experience and yes even luck. Having a fast boat is just plain fun though expecially back to the weight station with a full livewell. I can't wait for this year!

With staggered flight times there is a chance that my slower boat puts me there half an hour or more before him on one of the days anyway.
And don't be dismayed. There are no 5' waves on Delaronde unless there has been a heck of a storm. Not likely in the spring. The walleye guy that said that did not experience those conditions at The Classic.
