Finally a site for just TIN boats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a PT-165 with a 25 merc 4-str love the boat she runs at 25 mph (GPS) @ wot.. I would love to see what she can do with a 50 on her back.. :twisted:
 
Hi everybody! I have two: A 1999 Tracker Deep V17 with a 75hp Merc and a very old 1983 BassTracker 17 with a 50hp Merc. Don't use the old one anymore but the DV17 is hanging in the boat dock ready to go.

Gr8 site...good luck with it BPJ. :D
 
Quick question for the group, I have a 25 4-str and at WOT she runs around 6000 RPMs. I was wondering if other people when they are cruising do you always run at WOT or do you back off the throttle a little? Should I be concerned if I always run the boat at WOT?
Thanks

I personally wouldn't run it at Wide Open Throttle all the time. I can see the frustration of having to take longer to get somewhere, but thats the price we pay for having 25hp 4 strokes. Enjoy the day! No need to rush...so it takes an extra 2 minutes to get the secret fishing spot. Better that then a cylinder flying out of your motor like a bottle rocket. :wink:
 
Hey I hope I'm not run off of this forum, but I have to break the bad news..............I don't have a tinboat ....Nope, I have a 1987 CHAMPION but it's only got a 50 horse Evinrude on it. Am I still allowed? BE HONEST!!!!! :lol:

Wow! You must not be able to sleep at nights waiting for her to come! She is going to haul some tail.

I'm coming down to Arizona on the 21st! :wink: I hear you guys have some monster Bass down there.

Post some pics when you get her!
Good luck with her! Cant wait to see her in your driveway!

I'm official! \:D/ My very first boat. It's not much, but it will get me on the water. Came w/ 2 Minn Kota trolling motors, trailer and a few little add ins.

Now if only I knew how to back the thing down a ramp :oops:

That is a nice looking set-up you got there. Let us know how it gos. Don't worry about backing it down a ramp. Take your time and watch your mirrors. After a few times it will get easier each time you do it.

Tell you what....... just so you feel like you fit in......I'll take your boat off your hands and give you mine. :D
Welcome to the forum, I don't think anyone will judge a man on what boat he runs...... it's not like it's a metric forum and you own a harley :lol:. I feel the same way about fishing as I do about motorcyclist's as long as you ride who cares what it is.
 
my new boat is a 1448 smokercraft with a 25 horse mercury on it and a 52 lbs thrust moterguide foot control moter on the front
