20' Allison xb2003 with a 150 Merc xr6, 80mph solo, 75 loaded with two guys. 26 pitch over hub prop, nose coned case turning 6700 rpm

Its an i/o conversion, that transom wasnt made for an outboard.

I have no doubt more people would die from heat stroke, heart attack etc. should they be forced by law to wear a pfd at all times then the total potential lives saved and doubt the numbers would even be close.

Congrats Albert, excellent looking rig!

Forgotten by many, carry a bicycle or lighter socket pump and the correct size tire iron or bar for the trailer wheels.

The only thing i would suggest is buying a block off plug and pulling out the oil pump then pre mixing, $14 and 1/2hr in the driveway, just google the how to video. The 2.5 plastic oil injection gear is their achilles heel but 1200 hrs or more is common on them. My 150 supermag is the same as a promax (they rev higher then a reg. efi), the other 150 was built by a formula one marine engine builder so it turns higher r's.

Link didnt work Albert, grimsby the 2.5 efi's/carbed, if you examined mercs warranty records would likely rank as the best v6 they have ever made.I have a 1994 2.5 150 mariner supermag that revs to 6750rpm and a spare carbed 2.5 that will spin alot higher, they are the timex watches of engines.

Which Mariner do you have grimsbylander?

Ironmaker the 75/90 was an inline 3 cyl in the 1990's and was one of the best engines merc made (again from the managers mouth). The 115 is a different block all together.

Albert im sure as mentioned some people have had no issues with the 115 but from the mouth of a 90's merc territory manager "they are the worst engine we make", the 2+2 in line 4 cyl had issues. If its a 135 then its a 2.0 liter v6, now that is bullet proof and the best between 115-150 ever made by anyone.

The bait bucket in barrie can order them for you, dfs has them in stock

Unless its a tiller its likely in need of a shift cable adjustment. Any caveman can do it in the driveway, just google it on youtube for instructions.

That was a Triton listed at $103,000us msrp that has been splashed all over the net garney. Albert are you still thinking on getting an Allison?

It would need to be mon.-fri. Before 4:30. Text me 1st before you leave. 905-440-0773 How many you want?

Belleville Sport and Lawn does service work

My work in Scarborough has some you can have

You dont need a trailer re-call letter and only need a trailer or boat ownership if its bought from a title state, many dont issue titles. The trailer manufacturers plate with the vin must be readable to be imported.Have seperate values for boat motor trailer (sworn infront of a notary public if non title state, afidavite not needed if you have title and bill of sale). Hst on boat motor at border and federal on trailer then pst at mto when getting plate

Funny stuff, sadly a good part of this is true lol

Lost my m same way, renewed and the m wasnt there, i didnt have a bike then an figured it was a typo but because i didnt bring it to thier attention within 2 yrs i lost my m.

Big difference between agreeing to a water test as a condition of the sale to the dealer compared to "i like that boat lets water test it" and then i might be interested in buying it. No different then when you sell a boat privately, you water test as a condition of the sale otherwise you would be wasting alot of time giving out joy rides.

Put grease on the ends of the trim ram rods

See what the guys say on the ranger forum on bbc, mark croxtons razor 3 in a 24 might be a good one ( better than a tempest), I had that razor on gambler and was a great prop. No idea on the jack plate.

Its an xb2003 with a 150 xr6 and mariner supermag cowling, they dont blow over Albert and this one isnt fast enough to worry about that. Lape0019 the xb03 is very smooth in waves up to 3' trough to top, beyond that you have to really slow down and drive it but still very smooth, 2' t to t you can run 80+ easy. Now if your in lake ontario type spanned out rollers and breaking waves you have to take it easy and drive them or you may spear them coming down the backs of the rollers. I run the kawarthas and quinte and this boat handles anything they can throw at it so I wouldnt worry too much about that.Best things about it? Handles like its on rails,once you learn to drive one of these you would be hooked, drives like nothing else. Wind protection is unbelievable, I have ran over 90mph with a ball cap on (in my old one not this one), tons of storage ,the build quality is stupid good and you can load it up with 4-5 people. I can take the family out for a day on the water then fish a tourny the next day, very versatile.It move a little side side when someone walks across the boat while fishing but not excessively. All depends what you like, 1st one I bought was without even seeing one in person or being in one, turned out to be a perfect fit for me and myself I will always run one of these. There are only a few around so do your research and make your decision then head south if its what you want.

Airing out the Ally: Wondered how much hull lift I was getting with the prop I was running so my buddy video'd a pass, I think the boat likes this prop

If your asking about berkley braid which until this yr was called fireline braid then yes.
