Jim, I have had a few of those types for the same reason you are wanting it. They do pose a few downsides you may want to consider. 1. The ad mentions it is heavier alum, not the thin stuff. This means heavier in weight also! By the time you add a floor, battery, TM, and gear, I promise...

Dogs (cats are too independent) Hunting or fishing?

Definately Latex...body paint that is!! =P~ The chicken or the egg?

I took care of it. Like the service manager at Cabela's said, it was some wood jammed in the pick up hole in the front of the lower unit. A small drill bit popped it right out. I couldn't tell if anyting was further up, or if the tube itself has trash in it, but I will find out the next time...

I have the one mounted in the foot of the motor itself. Some have the white plastic pitot on the back of the boat and others are like mine with a small hole in the front of the foot on the motor that feeds pressure through a tube to the speedo. The hole is located on the very front of the "V"...

I have a Lowe Stinger 170 with a Merc 60 4-stroke. I took it out the other day and must have picked up some trash in the intake to the speedo because it stopped working. It would respond erratically to speed. Wide open it would show 10mph, stop and it would show the same. I called Cabelas...

I have decided to continue to hit my wife up for my weekly allowance to support my fishing habit! :lol: Only thing is I got to make sure she doesn't read any these articles!! :twisted: I would hate to have to find another reason to spend the $20... #-o

I was tired of trying to decide what styles, colors, sizes, and actions of baits to buy, so I started web-surfing. I found a few sites that had some good reading. Some articles seem to be the author's opinionated versions, others may be sales pitches, but in all, some good reading...

Have you considered swapping with someone. Maybe you can find somebody who is looking for a longer shaft and will trade you their shorter one...

I have always wondered what the difference is in using an onboard charger vs a portable one. It seems to me the only difference is the onboard stays connected at all times so all you have to do is plug it in while the boat is in the garage. I don't mind having to hook up two alligator clips...

Anybody ever used this? https://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&partNumber=27369&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults I am thinking of buying it for mine. I use two batteries on my new Lowe Stinger. OB battery has the...

That didn't take as long as I expected! I would have betted that all the sun beating down on all them heads from fishing so much would have had an effect!! :lol: Guess that goes to show that sniffing stink bait don't kill brain cells after all!!! Good job.

You can do either. It won't matter if you post the answer. If we start getting enough answers we may poll them to make it easier. The original email I have had an excel file attachment with it that you were supposed to enter your name in once you got the answer. The trick was, the...

This was sent to me in an email. There is a bus. On the bus there are seven girls. Each girl has seven backpacks. In each backpack there are seven BIG cats. For each BIG cat there are seven little cats. There is no driver on the bus. How many legs total are on the bus? This is not a trick...

Ouch!! $150! I guess that's cheaper than a prop. Worst case I need both. I have a good list of things to check this weekend. Maybe I can figure soemthing out.

Not yet. Hoping to get a better idea of the problem this weekend. Thinking maybe the prop or it may be just a combination of the hull layout and the 4-stroke powerband. I will post on my other thread here Monday to update what I find, if anything.

Hey CWCW, I see you got my IM from the other board! Glad to see you over here!! My 17' Stinger is running around 40 with a 60 Merc 4-stroke. A foot less and ten hp less should be about the same I would think.

I actually liked the exerpt. It had a little character to it, which is something you don't find too much of these days. Keep it up mntman! If more people would speak their minds today without worrying about political correctness wouldn't that mean there would be less confusion?! At least...

ibanez - The only problem with that is you have to drill holes to mount most hydrofoils. They will see this. But it did cross my mind!! :twisted: esquired - The boat trims out fine. I do just what you mentioned. I'm sure weight is mostly the issue, but I don't feel I have any more in it...

Talked to Mercury. The guy was very understanding of my situation. He thought the prop I have sounded like it was sized right. He didn't recommend a stabilizer due to warranty issues and the fact I am just starting a 5 year warranty. The repair shop will try to blame any failures on the...
