I forgot the brand but a read about a test used to test an import boat from the USA to Japan they required x amout of weight dropped into a boat from said height it's been a long time so my details are scetchy
In any case there are ways to test

What a great opportunity to up grade to a 180

The boils are almost all year long by September they are normally bigger boils that hold longer that said we have a lot more water this year once you find stripers you will have to work them pretend your bass fishing and throw everything at them until you figure them out  some days it's flukes others top water or jigging
The boils in wrinkle lately are bass
seen more stripers an the mouths of the fingers or up the fingers there are a couple of exceptional coves near the camping areas

Sorry no pic having a problem posting pictures

Starting to look like the weathers starting to turn that's good news for hogan striper fishing
Sep 30th-oct1st looking good

I like yum yum yellow I'm thinking about getting some peacock feathers and tiring them to my rudder with a very large treble hook
And go trolling

Let's see what I get

Hmm
Well I have a modded electric moter I use sometimes on one of my yaks  and I have a gas motor 2.5 I got with my AI
So I also have a sail guess what the sail is the better option most of the time
But there are some common problems example never sail any farther than your willing to peddle/paddle back same with electric I have a 60lb battery but you can run it down very fast the gas motor is lighter
But loud it's second best for range normally but on a lake like new hogan with sctechy fish it's not a good option when chasing boils
I'm not handy caped but I find it's much easier to troll under sail

One other consideration if you drop your motor the lake   It won't like you
If you drop your battery in the lake will not like you but if you drop your sail it only means you want to paddle for a wile
The battery needs conservative use or short days but the sail will get me there and back if there is only the smallest of winds on a lake
 

Well bad news a just took some measurements and the hobbie drive will not work unless I am willing to give up my front hatch
So that's not happening

I my have to keep looking the cable drives they do offer forward and reverse
And it prevents me from needing to cut my deck now if I knew were to buy suitable cable with a housing

Sep 30 -oct 1 I'll be camping to take advantage of early morning and late nite fishing
One of the camp grounds will be closed but for anyone that wants to there will still be plenty of sites
The fishing should be solid all day by then or just come down for a day and enjoy
