Went to the shop yesterday but they are really behind winterizing the idiot boats. I talked to one of the mechanics I know there and he said the want nothing to shimming and sharpening the impellar so I grew a set and deciding I'd do it myself. Pulled the foot and liner out, folded the ears on...

I'm one of the few in this good world that doesn't have Facebook. Dont have time for it. I went to the lake yesterday and fished a while. Same thing still going on. Running about 53 or 5400prm so I just stayed back out of the throttle. I read on outboard jets that a impeller with blunted blades...

Hello guys. New to owning a jet outboard and I'm having a small issue and I hope I can get some input here. I bought a new blazer 1752 with a 60/40 4s mercury this year and love it, but the last few trips out I noticed my rpms are higher then normal. It usually runs 5200 but now I'm pushing...

I just bought a Blazer Sport from Troutt and Sons 2 months ago and I was extremely happy to pick the layout of the boat. I'm a bass fisherman so big decks and room for alot of storage was important. I got a 48in front deck with a 24in extension switch holds my TM battery and all my tackle and...

I'm in Bowling Green, Kentucky. I think I may have posted this but it runs 31 all day with the 50 Yamaha 4 stroke. It'll do it with just me in the boat or with my family of 4. I've had a few times I had the wind at my back and a little chop and it ran 32 and flirted with 33 a few times. Lol...

Well after this long of stressing about it, I pulled the trigger on a new 1752 blazer with a 60/40 mercury. I just got back from Missouri and ordered one from Troutt and sons. It'll be 4 or 5 weeks before it's there and ready for pickup. In the mean time I'm going to try to sell my grizzly. You...

I've never been through mammoth cave but seen people on kayaks down there. Green river and barren river is full of trophy size smallies and musky. I've read where the corps of engineers are wanting to blow out a old dam on barren and 1 on green. If they do that then the already shallow river...

These are some older pictures when I first got it and before I did the camo paint job. I'm only get to g 31mph out of the 50 with a prop so if I get high 20's and it's not plowing water I'd be happy. I would like to have a box built to extend the front deck if I keep it. I give 4 grand for the...

Going to see if I can get these pictures to load. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I guess one is a bilge pump to empty water from the boat, one is to fill the live well, and the other is running lights. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

You wasn't kidding! That thing is huge. I'm torn about what to do. I've been looking at the blazer boats. My wife have me permission to go get a new one but I'm so tight about spending money I don't want to! I'm sure any guy in this world would love to hear the words from their spouse "Go get...

Can anyone tell me or post pictures of a boat that the keel had to be removed for a jet outboard? I read that sometimes the center keel has to be removed to give the jet a clean water flow. I'm scared of buying the jet and it not performing well on my grizzly and then be stuck trying to sell a...

The Yamaha I got now is like that. The tiller is so long that I can't use the seat but I sit off to 1 side and it's comfortable. The only issue I have is when I have another passenger the tiller hits them in the back when I turn right but I just raise the handle and fish alone 95% of the time...

Yeah. Dead set on the mercury just because theree is no evinrude dealers near me so to have it serviced or for repairs I'd have to drive 100 miles. Yamaha and mercury dealers is all that's around here. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I appreciate your guys input. Larry my son is 5 and only weighs about 43lbs and my daughter is 1 and weighs about 20lbs. I hope she never reads this but my wife is around 140 and that's all the people that will be in the boat. I believe I'm going to settle for the 40 as high 20's will be plenty...
