Cobia run yesterday: First offshore trip on the new 2320

[sydngoose]

Good morning. Seas were flat. Wind was low. We made the Winter wreck fishing run yesterday. Fished from 30 to 40 miles out bottom bumping 8 ounce jigs for Cobia on Old Glory. Caught three. Released one juvenile. The monster broke off at the boat. Brought a 34 pound brown fish home on ice. Parker ran great. Never saw less than 2.0 mpg yesterday and saw 2.4 routinely running. 136 gallons of fuel when we left port, 120 pounds of ice, three guys and gear.

It loaded fine... Nice video! It would be even better if the phone was turned horizontally; the video would fill the screen, showing more detail.

Awesome post!
Are you running with factory/OEM prop (SWS2?), those are great numbers.

Yes. While commissioning her at the dealership, we discussed RE-propping and raising a hole. The master tech suggested just run her. If your not happy with performance, we’ll raise the motor a hole and re-prop w 4 blade at the 100 hr.
Truthfully, I’m thrilled w the results. I’m not inclined to RE-prop or bump up a hole w the performance I’m getting out of her currently.

yeah she is sweet looking! loved how you have her rigged.

That's great to hear. And no permatrim, if I remember from some of your posts, correct?
We have the same boat of order from Parker, looking at yours - I'm envious! Hope ours turns out half as good! lol

That 300 Yamaha does pretty good/OK on a 2520. I'll bet it is amazing on the 2320!... I look forward to seeing more of your video!

300 Yamaha does great on a 2320! Here we are crossing Albemarle Sound at about 52 mph on a 2014 2320 with 300 ponies pushing!

Simrad EVO3 NSS9 : 2 of these at the helm: networked to Simrad Medium duty AP44 autopilot : RPU 80 autopilot pump. I also have a network box so the Autopilot can be operated from the cockpit from the Simrad go12XSE mounted under the pilothouse "lip" in the cockpit.

Congrats on your new 2320. You will fall in love very quickly as I have with this hull. Hope you got the 300 yamaha on her back to push her!

 

[Reckless 2]

Yes I did get the 300 thx for replying
