I can't say enough about Chad's boat, spots, professionalism, knowledge, safety, etc. I wouldn't go out to the Middlegrounds with just anybody, and Chad's charter exceeded my expectations. I can only imagine what these upgrades have added to the whole Middlegrounds experience! Way to go, Chad.

Chad,
Paul just called me today and said start planning. I have not been in the Gulf since last year on the Empire Mica. As a NE FLA diver we don't have a chance on all those pretty hogs you guys are always posting. I am looking forward to the trip and the hogs. See you right after DEMA. Put us on them, their done.

Chad,
Have you got a chance to get the boat out with the new power pack? If so, how did it do, was your estimated speed correct?

Tommie,.

Yeah, I blasted out to the Permit Barge and South Cty Tug Sun. between 28.5 and 24 knots, but I wasn't heavy yet. I filled it up, 300 gallons fuel total plus added two 162 qt coolers full of water, still a little under the full load I usually take. Solid 28 to 24 knots. I'm using a loaner prop until we determine the best one for the boat.

This one aint bad.

Vis was top to bottom!

Chad

Chad,

Anytime you need some "weight" for further engine testing, let me know
