I would put some cavitation fins on the outboard, motor sounds a bit rough...
if ya got some on, might think about adjusting height of the outboard, sounds like the motor is working a bit.
But what the phook do I know...threadjack!
I hope the reason whitey came up was the fins, I wouldn't be too worried about having my legs over the side. I think I'd be more worried about being able to cling to the top of the plastic...yikes.
Can't believe he got no teeth out of that one...
