Clean Out Plug Blow Out (My Turn)

Thinking about that some more... when I had that boat, I was never out this early. People have said that cooler water temps will really help the performance of these boats. If that’s so, I wonder if you’ll see lesser speeds once you’re in 80 degree water.
Thats true. By the time I got the boat in the water last year it was at least 20 degrees warmer. Water tonight was 56 and air was around 45.
 
Not even so much the water temp as the air temp... The intake air temp that is lower has a better effect on ICE (to a point, of course).
