  2. How Fast Does Your Boat Go ?

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by pikeslayer

    @ Brian

    With a 3' Al folding ramp, Sean rolls easy from dock to deck & tons of room for maneuverability :) Sure beats the lift set up & tear down as well as limited room on board the Sylvan.

    Which BTW is not going anywhere ;)

     

    @ Dave

    Yeppir, most of the better mfrs now offer a 3rd toon which runs deeper than the outer toons. Supposedly for improved steering (which I believe is true) as well as improved stability in 'open water' ????

    As for the power, I would probably upgrade to a 90 max. Primary need is accessibility but we would see some recreational use as well.

     

    @ Mr. G

    Thx for the advice, will definitely consider.

  16. Bunk Carpet?

    2, 10'x 2"x 6" boards, grey indoor/outdoor carpet,2 tubes of water proof glue. All for 58 bucks. can't beat that.

     

    Paul,

    I have 2 extra 4' sections of the puck board. There yours if you want them. Power loading is so much easier & safer :) My boat is a 21' Sylavn & I can power up with a lot less throttle & more control.

     

    Dave how's the paint doing on the hull where you load it?? Just curious if the weight of the boat on the UHWW is wearing it off.

     

    I'm not sure plastic against paint is a great idea for my 3000 pounder, but sure have lots of it around if I decide to go that route.

    Wayne,

    Here's a pik of the hull in line with puck board runners. Not a scratch :)

  17. Bunk Carpet?

    I got the 4' puck boards off of Fishfarner (thx again) & had enough to do 2 x 8' on the runners. On second thought, I wasn't comfortable with reduced friction the full length of the 8' runners when towing, braking or launching. So I decided to run 4' of board + 4' of carpet. I only need the 4' of board @ the front end of the runners when power loading the boat (21' Sylvan) anyways. The 4' of carpet gives added friction to help prevent the boat from sliding under tow, braking & launching.

    I measured the depth of the puck board & the height of the carpet and calculated how much I would have to rip off the front 4' of runner to end up with carpet & board on equal plane. Here's a pic. The best I could get with the boat on the trailer.

    If the winds back down tomorrow, I'll get another few pix.

    I have never used the salties & am somewhere between a newbie & veteran fishing Salmon on LO. Have hooked and landed all my biggest fish on Orcas holding wire dipsey combos off both sides of the boat & lead core down the chute. If drags are set proper, you will never have an issue with the Orcas.

    #TellThemNow Don’t hold back, tell your dad why you’re grateful.

    We asked ten fathers and their children to participate in a short video. That's all they were told. The result is powerful and surprised even the participants.

    We hope it will inspire you to pick up the phone and call your dad. Tell him why you’re grateful; tell him why you’re proud. He might just do the same. So much in life goes unsaid. Vulnerability and gratitude can crack us open in the best of ways.

    Tell us…why are you grateful to your dad? @echostories.com #TellThemNow
