The seats on the 89 bolted to a fiberglass lid on the storage area below. I had to redue the brackets and pivots to make it work. It was well worth it because the 89 seats were 1/2 inch thick and snapped into place. These seats give you a hug as well as plenty of padding from the rouge wave. The driver seat can barely touch the trim on the throttle when tilted forward when it is in neutral. The center pee pad seat is actually more comfortable than you think and flipped down allows easy access to the rear casting deck. Art

I really like the Ranger 350V it is one of the best riding bass boat I have had. I have quite a bit of weight on my pad of the boat with 3 batteries and the 2 fuel cells on board. The rebuilding of the boat with better seats and accessories did add some weight but it is well worth it. I am content to run at 35 MPH all day long because when you floor it you are burning 9/10th of a gallon a minute. I do like the fact that you can usually get ahead of a storm front if it is not moving to fast. Art

Check the boat for deformities on the back edge called a hook. Remove all excess weight that you have stuffed into the boat over the years. Size and change prop to a stainless steel. Out of all of these your biggest gain will be removing all of the extra crap off the boat that you do not use. Realistically you will not gain 10 mph unless you have a major issue slowing down the boat. For example a Ranger boat with 150 HP GTX (racing series motor) stainless cupped prop with little to no extra weight is doing 58 mph with a stainless and loses only 3 mph with an aluminum prop. The bottom of a bass boat in this series runs on just a pad when on plane with about a 6 x 4 ft area actually touching the water. your boat will have a much larger wetted surface and will have less improvement on changes.

As much as I would love to be up North right now, it is not a good time for our border to be open. I do hope that all of my friends make it through this with the least amount of harm and discomfort. I also wish all of the Lodges get enough support from Canadians to make it through and be open for business next season. Art

This is for news articles to read not comment on. If you want to post something that is not locked that is fishing related then you can post in the main forum. Art

Is the complaint that it is not running correctly at WOT or is it you are not getting the same RPMs you were? The drop in MPH could be drive train friction or prop damage. A strike could have damage the drive train creating friction or it could have spun the shear in the hub. I agree new coils are a good idea as the cases get old they can get small cracks in the windings and miss fire internally. We also should look at the timing and the timing advance linkage to make sure it is not binding up and that the screw that limits the advance from over advancing is timing. Both of these require a timing light as well as the specifications of the motor. The final thought is that the metering screws have debris on the end of them that needs to be flushed out. Remove the screw after counting them in and flush them out reset them the same amount they usually do not need to be adjusted to a new setting unless someone moved them. Art

Nice rig bud looking good. Art

You forgot evil laughing and touching myself as we bath in the power we hold. lol Art

My rule of thumb is if it is a new brand name item and it is not a personal sale and the price is less than what a reasonable profit margin is then I pass. Art

It is a teaser lure that we use in saltwater fishing down here. Save the money and just buy a jitter bug it will work just as well and easier to remove from the fishes mouth . Art

The Lss1 series is very old technology and it will limit what your new unit can show you if you decide to use it. Basically your new system will not be as good an upgrade as you hope for. This is an adapter that MIGHT make it work with https://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=000-11040-001 I would upgrade the unit 100 percent with the correct transducer rather than spend 100 bucks for the adapter and then having a limited upgrade.

Wrap sewing thread around the worm. Art

I think we are going to turn on comments and see how it goes. People are posting things that seem to request replies. Hopefully it will go well if it does then we will keep it going if not we will turn them off again. Art

I will ask Blueye to look at this. art

I can't believe that you painted a turkey and then took a picture of it. Sheesh some people will go to extremes to fool us. Art

Looks like a good day of fishing and fun. Good job. Art

Big nope on an under powered boat. If you need to outrun a storm or have a medical emergency you are not going to be in a good way. I run a Ranger with a GTX 150 and it will do 60 MPH most times I run around 30 mph but when the river blows up getting to shelter is a must. I would pass on getting a boat that is at least 80 percent of the rated horsepower. Art

I mounted mine on the floor both pieces to make it a tight grip. You can also mount it as you see in the picture but as soon as it comes out put a flat metal piece spaced up with a few washers so it is at floor level and then mount the buckle catch as normal. Art

Nice score Brian, I can't tie a fly to save my butt but I can see a work of art when they made that vise. Art

Don't make me come up North and start beer can tops in the stores. Art
