With everything you are investing to jump up and run shallow...don't skimp on the plate.
New prop, yes! Sitting on the bottom in mud I can get it up.

At least your skeg paint stayed on. I took my newly painted skeg to the Chattahoochee river. Now I have to paint it again

Believer in HB or your ability to find shallow water?
Believer in both. I like my skiff and I like all the Chittums I've been in (both 2 and 12 degree). I now what both skiffs will do, they are pretty similar in performance in the right hands.

Damn Rob, leave a little bit of cool for the rest of us new skiff owners! Seriously shallow water performance, nice.

I painted mine four years ago when I bought it and the skeg still has all the paint. I have something that will help you guys.

People ask if the Foreman props are worth the hype until they experience them...
Obviously you don't want to do that consistently...but it IS nice to know that you have the option in a pinch eh?

You're not riding her hard enough...
Ahh, I really enjoy reading about the mods that you guys in Texas go through. I'm glad I don't have to go through it though, lol.
I guess the guys in the IRL face some of this though but seems to a lesser extent.
