I wonder how that boat would run when Arkansas oak leaves get stuck in the prop.

The Arkansas swamps are worse than the Bering sea swells.

I love watching those boats run a course but it looked like those guys were having some issues with November leaves.

It was in no way the same but I learned I only need about 4 inches to run the squid today. I'm not going to lie, it made my butt pucker looking down as I was going through ankle deep water.

Found out from the prop guy that Stainless Steel props don't so much wear as they get peened to the point that they loose diameter from running over hard sand. This boat went through three props in 5 months. Austin used to run so shallow up against the beach that one side would be running almost dry. Having a tunnel boat with a jack plate makes this possible.
