Thank you Captain Juls for all your thorough reports. You make it possible for others to learn from your success which I think is rare.

I noticed your screenshot of the perch marks on your Hbird. I have an Hbird 5 years old but mine doesn't get the mix of greens and blues in that yours does. It makes it easier to see the bigger fish on your screen. Is that a special setting you are using? Mine is an 899CI HD.

Also, are you keeping the G2? How do you like it? I'm thinking of upgrading my 2001.

Thank you,
Rickerd

Does your unit have CHIRP? I'm using the Helix 12 CHIRP Mega Imaging SI G2N...I pretty much just use the factory settings, so I'm sure it's just the difference in units and their age. There's been a lot of advancement in the past 5 years with the Humminbird products.

Yes, I am going to be running the G2 again. I love them. Great hole shot, mid-range torque, and decent top end speed (which we don't get to use very often on Erie). I am more concerned with the power to get up a wave easily than I am with top end speed, and the Evinrude delivers in that regard. My top end with this last 300 G2 was 53mph, with 4 people and a full boat of gear. The Ranger 621 FS is rated for a 350, but Evinrude doesn't have a 350.
