My johnson is none of your business, you gay blade.

But SERIOUSLY! It's got a 1/3 up position that's handy for shallow water. Steers funny like that, but it lets me get through 1.3 feet of water, according to the depth finder.

Will it explain why I puttered through ridiculous weeds 2 weeks ago and 99% percent of them ended up wrapped around my prop, while 20+ foot boats blew through them at high speeds and (based on the sounds I heard from shore) got through the same weed beds clean? Doug

The difference is speed - the faster the prop goes, the better the mix master effect.

I can run the Princecraft slowly though a weed bed and get it all tangled up, at speed, hardly even notice.

Do you have a shallow water option on your Johnson? I have on mine and it helps when moving slowly through a weed bed.
