[@madisonsequenzia5672]

Beast!

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Amen to that!

[@nsequenzia]

What a monster!

[@JimHanleyfishing]

It sure is

My buddy who is sponsored just got a 400hp verado v10… honestly it was very hyped up.. i run a 250 pro XS on my ranger and the v10 wasn’t it for me.. didnt feel any better than what i have. 😊

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Both are amazing motors and run like the wind. Thanks for the input.

[@kirkwilliams4942]

Getting the 400 on our new 29 Axopar, gonna be sweet.

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Congratulations on having the beast on your boat. It’s deceiving because it’s so quiet and yet will make your snap back. Thanks for the feedback.

[@Ahanley]

Amazing!

[@JimHanleyfishing]

You are!

[@ThomasHegland]

Great Video. Two questions. You said it was a 17p in the video, but showed a 27p. Which was correct? Then was just wondering what its top speed was. Thanks again. Keep up the great content.

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Hey. Thanks for watching and commenting….really appreciate it. The diameter is 17 inches and pitch is 27 inches. Here’s a video that explains the difference between pitch and diameter. I believe we got up to about 68 and would have gone faster had the lake been smoother. kzbin.infoRNpmERJ4A7A?si=KgX_ypYorKHmGYHd

That’s awesome!

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Thanks. It was a great ride

[@Balvenie21]

That thang rips

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Oh yeah. Amazing power. Thanks for watching.

[@ΒόρειοςΆνεμος-β1γ]

💯💪😍

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Thanks for watching

[@kentran042392]

Price tag on one of those?

[@JimHanleyfishing]

About 40k. Thanks for watching

[@yeevang9250]

What is the top speed? Hopefully it's not a gas eater

[@JimHanleyfishing]

I’ll have to check with Steve but I believe it’s about 72. At that speed he probably gets 2 miles a gallon. He’s a happy retired guy so he’s enjoying his big motor. Thanks for watching

[@ScooterSWNY]

wow

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Ha. Yep

[@ScooterSWNY]

i bet that is an expensive motor @@JimHanleyfishing

[@JimHanleyfishing]

They are about 30 grand

[@jamesgeorge4874]

You should ride in a 50 foot Outer Limits, with a pair of 1350 Mercury Racing twin turbo 9 liter V8's. They accelerate from 60, to 130 faster than most boats can get up to 40 mph. It skews your perception of fast boat.

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Been a Mercury pro staffer for 25 years and would love it! Thanks for watching.

[@craigdavid6668]

You should ride in a Honda Civic with a salvaged engine from a Chiron boosted and catless with 3367hp, will blow your mind about fast.

[@JimHanleyfishing]

@craigdavid6668 wow. Thanks for watching

[@Bogtog777]

That thing is super quiet at idle for a v10

[@JimHanleyfishing]

It’s as quiet as your refrigerator! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

Ridiculous! A 200 anything would work.

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Maximum power on any boat on Lake Erie is never a bad thing. I have a maxed out 300 Verado on my lund as I have many big boys on board and have since I started guiding in 1978. Besides, it’s Steve’s retirement boat, so he’s a happy fisherman! Thanks for watching.

[@PeterHaldKristensen]

How Come you are adressing your self as captain - on another man's boat?! Isn't he the captain then?!?!!?

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I’m a 46 year USCG licensed Captain and that doesn’t change no matter whose boat I’m on! He’s the owner of the boat but he’s not a captain!

[@Tevon93]

If he has a boating license and is driving his own boat then he is the captain of that boat. You can still call yourself a captain, because you are, but in that scenario so is he.

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Thanks for commenting and watching

[@denialphasebitcoin5639]

4460 rpm the speed 38 knots. Not impressed. Need a pair on a 28 open fish

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Thanks for watching. Wasn’t WOT as Lake Erie was a tad sporty that day.

[@roynelson3207]

Too quiet

[@JimHanleyfishing]

Thanks for the feedback.
