Dave - think your statement through -- if your boat maintains steerage at 3MPH, your heading into a 4MPH current then it would stand to reason that you bring the boat speed up to 7MPH (due to the way speed is measured in boats). The net result is your STILL only moving (land speed) at 3 MPH. Put a radar gun on the old Donna Jean's pier someday and try it this Fall when the Dam opens! .

Speed is measured in many boats today by GPS and not relative to the water its passing over.
