You're exactly right CatFan!! Thanks for calling me out on that.

I guess my brain was turning to mush as I was typing. The above should make much more sense.

I've been in a few while duck hunting Reelfoot. Guys there seem to love them, and they're picky about their stuff. They bash 'em off the cypress trees without batting an eye! Actually, a buddy of...

A friend of my had two of his company trucks side by side when a debate about which bedliner was best began. The crowd (we were at a dove hunt) seemed to jump on the Rhino bandwagon. My buddy showed...

My Xpress duck rig also has the T slot rail. I can't help you with which rod holders to use.

However, to avoid buying those expensive T slot "bolts" or whatever they're called, I ground a groove...

Count me in!

Thanks for the chance.

Another vote for startron.

Get a buddy and a hammer. Have buddy hold big hammer on bottom of rivet, and then beat on top of rivet to snug it up.

Or, you could replace the leaky ones, since there's only a few.

I have that boat, and a 14 footer. It is a barge compared to a 14', but will beat you up on crowded/windy days (although not nearlly as bad as the 14'). With that being said, we have 2072 seark at...

Let me preface this statement with I think, but quite confident that:

The 40/50/60's all shared the same block. The 40/50's are detuned on the intake side of the motor, with the carbs being the...

My buddy has a similar set up. You could prob get up to around 30mph (which feels really fast in the small boat) with a different prop and light load, but still have enough prop to haul 3 people and...

My point exactly. Hence my comments earlier about GENERALLY speaking, glass boats handle rough water better than tin boats. By generally, I mean same size, hull design, etc.

Check your state regs. If it's not prohibited then I'd do it.

The formula for calculating the hp rating takes into account several different factors other than the obvious factors like size and...

x 2 on the tinytach. Also, figure the estimated weight of your rig fully loaded, figure out your max rpms with current prop, and give this information to a prop shop. They should be able to help you...

I've yet to see a battleship made out of tin.

Fiberglass, generally speaking, will handle rough water better than aluminum.

I have the same motor, but a 2001 model. It's mainly used for duck hunting, and have run it with temps in the teens without problems.

I know where there is a few blue darters in Tennessee ;)

We feed em wheat, clover, soybeans, oats, and turnips year round with great success. We also feed 'em acorns and persimmons in the fall!

That is why we can kill 3 does/day in mid TN.

Killing does is exactly how you manage your herd. The number of does controls the population similar to how the number of female crappie that spawn controls the fish population. With too many does...

And Mercury is, hands down, the most popular outboard on the water, so naturally there's more talk about them.

My local bait guy has a special garuntee on all his minnows. If you don't have any luck on them, take them back and he'll go fishing with 'em.

Great story and photos of the young'un! That's a day he'll never forget!

Select an anchor based on bottom material, sand, mud, rock, etc. Anchor chain makes a big diff, and most cruisers use it to help them hold. I second what bombfixer said about setting the anchor. If...

Hydraulic steering on larger motors is definately worth it!!!

Took mine off a '01 50hp merc. No problems. It does smoke more at start up and idle, but for some reason I like looking back and seeing the blue cloud hovering on the water after I blast off!

I've never used this, but looked like a good deal on a cooling vest. I've bought from this company before, and had was very satisfied with their service. Might be worth checking out if your looking...

I seem to catch the most while trying to stay motionless while sculling :D

X 2!

There is a difference in SS props, mostly price! Unless you are looking to sqeeze every last tenth of a mph out of your rig, there's not much difference between brands for a given size and...

A jackplate might help by letting you move the motor up and down, but I'm not sure. You may be running as fast as she'll go. My 16 Xpress DB with a tiller will porpoise if trimmed to high, or loaded...

A 19' glass boat w/150 will run 65+mph. Don't think the WE or any tin boat can compare.
