    No I wouldn’t be able too. I’ve called around locally and everyone has told me I must buy them they won’t lend them. And unfortunately that is to far from where I’m located. I would just like to get the most out of my motor and from what I’ve read I am not. Will double check gps when I get out next and the potential weight issue. X2.

    From what I’ve read online the way it’s mounted currently is how it’s usually done for a boat Like this. I will double check this with the other graph and my phone. Stamped with the size and pitch?
  3. Musky Plug
    Yes, I agree. From what I’ve read online I should be in or around there.

    I’ve been out a few times and messed around with this and where I had last night seems to the “spot”. Any higher and I feel the boat start to slow down. Could it be the height the motor is mounted at?

    LOL. Last night I had myself, a passenger, full tank, 3 batteries, and tackle bags trolling motor and excluding the tackle and trolling motor weight was around 600+LB. 200each per passenger, 100lb for gas 60L, and 60lb per batt. So that more then likely is the problem? The motor is set on the second hole from the top, which I’ve read is the norm for a boat like this?

    Hey guys, hope everyone is staying safe. Looking for some wisdom on how to get the top speed of my boat up. Currently running a 90hp Evinrude Etec on 1650 Crestliner Fish Hawk. I was out last night with a passenger and only getting 30.5mph trimmed at WOT and getting 5500rpms. I have an aluminum 14x17 prop. I’ve read online that I should be getting closer to 40mph with a boat and motor of this size . Would switching to a different aluminum prop get me closer to the mark or would I need to go stainless to get there? Any help is appreciated.

    X3. Friend and I both bought Terrovas at the same time. I got the 24v he opted for the 12v, after a year and a half he now regrets not getting the 24v.

    That’s a thiiiccc boii! Solid fish man. Congrats!

    Is it a 17 pitch ss or aluminum prop? I have the same motor but and 05. I’m only getting 30.5mph.
  12. Musky Plug
    What is your top speed with your 90hp etec?
  13. Musky Plug
    That’s a good price for that unit. It has mapping, 2D, down and side imaging.

    I’m willing to travel lol Ok awesome. Thanks. I wasn’t able to take out the boat today. Hoping I can make it tomorrow after work. Will post how I make out.

    Would these size rivets be appropriate? https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/11138207
  16. Musky Plug
    Would I be able to get the solid rivets at brofasco or a similar place? And should I use 3M 5200 on the patch as well?

    Ok. Trying not to open a can of worms here, however this is a used boat I purchased December last year and wasn’t made aware of these problems, I was mislead during purchase process and at the time of the purchase I was unable to water test due to weather. So it unclear as to when this happened. If a patch is needed, what type of rivets should I use or should the patch be welded?
  18. Musky Plug
    Yes, from the rear corner. No I did not drill stop the corners. I did not read to do that until after I had the weld done. Could I not have the welder knock down the patch enough to put on a patch or should I just leave it?

    Hey guys, looking for some wisdom here. As the title says I have some stress cracks in the bottom of my aluminum boat. The crack is located underneath and partially to the side structural support in the rear of the boat, behind the driver seat. Roughly the size of a toonie. I had someone tig weld the crack closed. My question is has someone here had any experience with this type of problem? Will the weld I had done Be enough to fix the problem or will it continue to crack? Should I have a welded or riveted patch put on top of the weld? I apologize for the numbers of questions, just don’t really know how to fix it properly and permanently. Attached are pictures of the crack from the bottom of boat, inside the boat (front and back of the crack location), and with the crack welded closed. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

    I agree with the above mentioned, I would also pass. Not enough power. But at the end of the day it’s up to you. I did venture out onto Lake O couple times in my old 14’ tinner with a 25hp but those days were flat calm. Have to pick and choose your days.
  21. Musky Plug
    I would agree with the plastic scenario. Probably the best bet IMO. You could always cut the plastic out in the middle with a jig saw so the mechanism will pass though and pass through the gunnel wall.
  22. Musky Plug
    Yessss we’ve done this a number of times. S&V miss vickies is good cool ranch or cheese Doritos are good too. Other then that we usually use fish crisp, more often then not Cajun or the Italian flavour.

    Sweet footage. Do you use the waterworlf camera?
  24. Musky Plug
    The line at Sail burlington was from the door to the corner of the building earlier today when I drove past.

    I just ordered mine online if I remember correctly couple years ago because I lost mine as well. Didn't have to redo the test though...
