Nice going bud. That's a good bass alright.
That skiboat might have thought you were the undercover fuzz and just pretending to be an angler. Been known to happen (just not often enough!). I'll bet the "launch" is getting pretty steep? But dangit if a ski boat can still get out there!
I thought you already had a motor (or two) lined up? I'd agree 15hp on a 12ft plastic boat - might cave in the transom. My back transom is low, and when I got on good plane with a 10 - then stopped short, was afraid the wake might wash over the back!
I'd love to step up to something faster, but both the weight and the stress -might rip a little tub apart!
Twins - what you should try is swim down and hook a fish ONTO your friends line, then give it a tug - guaranteed catch! (there's some joke videos on Youtube teasing drunk anglers - worth a chuckle)
