Any tips/drawbacks running and fishing this part of the Meramec?

I had my 60/40 2015 Merc out yesterday and at full throttle had excessive torque pulling to the left. I also have stick steering but with engine off it is very easy to turn right or left. Anyone else come across a problem like this. Excessive is an under statement, it's a chore to keep the boat...

Been a while since I posted but I'm finally have my new 1648 Tracker with 40 horse Merc jet ready to go. Went to Sands Ford last week and it preformed well, 32 mph was top speed with it steady at 28 mph. Caught several small largemouths and smallies. River was fairly low and hit gravel one time...

I am mounting a Vance jack plate on with 4" set back and 4" up and down adjustment on a new 1648 Tracker Grizzle. Initially I will mount the foot even with the bottom of the boat. My question is should I mount the plate with 2" movement up and down or maybe 3" up and 1'' down. I understand I...

Has anyone rigged, or know anyone who has, a Bass Tracker PF16 with a 60/40 Mercury jet with a jack plate. I think the bottom is 48" and know that is not ideal but I like the stick steering and the layout. Thanks in advance.

Considering buying a new WeldBilt 16/52 semi "v" with a tunnel hull and a 60/40 Mercury with 15" mid section. How high should the transom be to fit the front of the shoe in the tunnel correctly? Also I'm getting stick steering and plan to fish from the seat between the controls so my question is...

Looking for some expert advice. How do you guys fish/run thru fast water. I used to have a little 14' jon 36" wide and I used my foot controlled trolling with my prop just in the water deep enough to steer. I'm getting a bigger jet boat (16/52) and I doubt the trolling motor will get thru...

This is probably not the correct place for this but I'm from St.Louis and I know there are some locals here. I have compression problems on my 1996 50 hp 4 stroke Merc with a jet. I have the head off but I need to find a place locally that will do a valve job and machine work. Any help will be...

Can anyone tell me how many rpms I can run and how long with my jet in the water and on the trailer? Need to make some adjustments while motor is running. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hello everyone! Been reading this board for quite some time and learned a ton but I now have an issue I hope some one can help me with. I have 1990 Basstracker Pro 16 with 1996 50/35 horse 4 stroke Merc jet. I took it out it the other day and it ran 5200 rpms 26 mph for about 45 minutes then...
