Okay now, you guys realize that I never dealt with a "dealer" right ? I got the boat motor and trailer directly from G3 headquarters, as part of a sponsorship. I mean, I got a great deal, but I did pay for it. I'm thinking that maybe its time I get back to the people who hooked me up with the...

Okay, so my boat is in the shop {my motor is a 25hp 4 stroke Yamaha} which has blown the gasket around the water jacket twice now. I was hoping that Yamaha would extend the warranty for this 1 problem, since the warranty ends in 7 months. So, I call Yamaha this morning, and they tell me that...

Here's the thing..... I didn't get my boat from "any dealer". I bought it directly from the G3 HQ, through a sponsorship deal. I tried to call Yamaha directly, this morning, during the little time I have.... not thinking about the 3 hour time difference, and the fact that they take a hour and...

SG, it's the water jacket gasket on my 25hp Yamaha outboard that is blown... again. The truck is perfect ! (It better be, for $23K to Ford, another $3K to the state of CA, and probably $4K in mods ! Actually though, the original base price on the truck itself was $31K... So I'm not complaining...

Sorry to pop in after such a long break, with all bad news.... Actually, it's not all bad; I did just get a brand new tow truck, an F150, which I have been customizing for about 3 weeks now... Just about to get it all together. Will post post pics when its finished. Anyway, to make a long...

I haven't yet. Well, back in the day, with a worn out, rusted out old trailer.... but anyway.... and a broken leaf spring, but kept the boat on the trailer. I always wonder if my boat would stay on the trailer if the bow strap failed. I have a safety chain... but it's not really set up...

that's a good looking new tow truck you got there too ! Honestly. I think a GM truck would have been my close second choice. They are highly rated (I think right below Toyotas ;-) and yes, VERY good rebates ! $7500 off, locally ! And since they are cheaper than a Toyota to begin with, heck yes...

Now for starters, I don't want anyone to think, that I don't think "ALL" of the new trucks are SWEEET ! It's kind of funny sometimes to listen to the Chevy guys bash the Fords, and Ford owners to bash Dodges, etc. But IMPO, if any one of the new trucks were as bad as some guys would have you...

It was definately prespawn. I caught it on a 6" Huddleston trout. The pond is about 60 acres, and is a public place, but most of the fishing pressure is for dinky little hatchery trout.... dumped in 1 week, and pulled out the next. Hey man, whatever flips your switch. But I just don't think...

As most of you know, I fish a LOT, and a lot of my fishing is specifically for giant, trout-eating, California bass {although I have really been getting back to my multi-species roots, more and more the last few years}. Anyway, Thursday, I was fishing at a little trout-fed pond, and caught the...

It has to be Mossy Oaks Shadow Grass. Nothing else is acceptable ;-) Peace, Fish

removing that bench could REALLY weaken the structural integrity of your boat. Believe me, boat manufacturers don't put rows of benches in small aluminum boats because they think your going to be carrying 9 children everywhere you go..... But rather, its a cheap, easy way to really strengthen...

When you said > In my opinion, they don't do squat < {I think your referring to whale tales, or hydrofoils, etc} You would probably be better off to say, "In your 'experience', they haven't done squat"...... and this, I would believe. Reason being, I've heard from a few buddies who had the...

Okay now, my little baby is only a 14 1/2 ft'er, but it does have a nice V, and I also have power trim and tilt, on my 25hp tiller steer Yamaha. So, here's what I've noticed; if I trim the nose down in choppy water, it creates more drag, and slows me down a bit, however, it lets the V do what...

I actually have an adjustable 13" king pin style pedestal made by Springfield..... But I never adjust it. Just leave it at 13". I thought I got it at BPS two years ago.... but went back recently to buy another, and only could find the one you linked to. You might take a look at the Springfield...
