On my 23' proline with 150 outboard I can run 2 18" bags and at idle I do 0.8 mph with about 1700rpm I can get 2 mph.
Good info, but useless unless you can say what that 18" means... Is it the bags open diameter?

For comparison, the G2 Outfitters bags;

Guys the link on Amazon goes to DRIFT bags, not TROLLING bags. Big difference. Each has its proper place. Being on a budget myself, I bit the bullet and bought Big Papa bags. They are a less $$ than Amish, but supposed to be just as good. I can't speak for G2. Whatever you do, don't buy drift bags. They will rip out in a season or less. That 20' cuddy your trying to slow down carries a lot of momentum in the water. That constant tugging is a lot of force. I cannot speak about buckets. I know a lot of guys start out with them and eventually squeeze bags into the budget. I was weary of them banging off my hull all the time, not to mention that wire handle anywhere near my prop if something should go wrong. It's all a give and take. As a matter of fact, I think just about everyone has something they would improve/change about their rig if the budget was there for it.
You may have shot yourself in the foot. Here's why:
The Big Papa uses a measurement to size their bags different than the Amish Outfitters bags. As an example, the Big papa 28" inch bag is much smaller than the 28" Amish outfitters bag. In this case the BigPapa bag opens to an open diameter of 17.8" when compared to the 28" Amish outfitters bag. Both 28" bags are priced within a few dollars but in order to get to the full 28" open diameter in the Big papa's you'd need to buy the 42" (which would still be a little smaller) and still pay about $15 more than the Amish Outfitters.

6 size bags for every boat size - Size is measured along the curve of the wide end when the bag is laying flat.

Ok, is this bag just too big or is the price out of whack?

I've got one 48" trolling bag thats been used about a dozen times. It's marked up a bit, but there's zero damage to it. Amish made in Pa. Open diameter is 30". There's a beverage bottle in the picture to gauge the size of the bag. Very heavy duty. $45 shipped, Best/offer.

Bags are not a problem once you set them up correctly.
Tie them to the mid ship cleat, and let them run along side the boat so that the tail end of the bag is just forward of the transom. You want that length of line short enough so that the bag doesn't interfere with your running gear when you turn.
That boat will run 3mph+/-, but I'm guessing a little more on the + side depending on how you're propped. Most boats set up like that from non fishermen are propped for speed.
Gonna have to do something for sure to slow it down...
Good luck!

G2 Outfitters bags.
Heaviest duty, not made out of boat cover material, and you can put them away wet and will not mold or mildew like the other ones. 2 inch webbing, very heavy duty and better price.

I have a great outfitter in Fulton county Illinois that I work with who is offering some limited discount hunts. He is one of the outfitters who boycotted the Harrisburg Pa sportsman show before it closed & now he is offering some deals to fill some spots. He has a peak rut hunt for $1600 includes food &
lodging. If any one has interest please drop me a PM for more info & contatct #'s
The buck below got his pic taken after the gun season! Just an example of what's out there!
Those trees sure look green to be after the gun season.....

G2 Outfitters. 100% made in USA. Eliminated problems and gimmicks found in other popular producers, and went with a stronger base material. Shipping north of the border not a problem.

OH226S Bases, and 19' single gold spreader, MX8519SL/GL
Decent condition, no dents, dings or pitting. They could use some polish. The gold anodizing is rubbed in some places from being moved around in the barn since I got them..
This is the base: http://store.leetackle.com/wishbonestyle-jrholder.aspx

Nobody needs these?

I bought this for the motor, and have no need for the boat and trailer. Can be used as a tiller model or with the console. Lund made this model in both the tiller set up and with the console. Console is removable. Very solid boat, the floor does have a soft spot up in the front. No dents of significance in the hull. Paint is faded and worn as shown in the pictures. I have the factory paint codes for this. Doesn't leak.

I have nothing to add, but just wanted to say "Thank you" for letting me know I'm not the only one out there with fishing equipment sickness like this. No man of sound mind needs 150 spoons. I'm sure you may have bought them on a closeout or on sale, much like women buy shoes... It does not matter how they came to be... I'm just saying "Thank you".
