Thats BRUTAL!!!

 

Saw a pack once while camping coolest thing ever!

 

I am not a hunter but dont dis agree with hunting as a means of proving meat for your family, with all the CRAP they put in our food its nice to know you are eating free range, probably no steriods added. The deer/meat prob had a good life roaming the forrests, eating organic lol and making babies!

 

These people are talking about "killing all of them" and that these vermit are destroying all my livestock....$10 bucks says not 1 of them own a farm, or livestock.

 

Do you even want to eat wolf meat?

Boat tanks dont have or have far less baffling in them than car tanks so the fuel moves around pretty good in them. When the boats rises out of the water or gets bow high the fuel will run to the back of the tank, I'm guesing this is where the sender and gauge sit. My gauge does the same thing, never trust it to read acurate. Mine tells me I am empty and I still have 1/4 tank left. Its a rough idea at best!

is this a tiller? I am going through set up issues as well and I can only imagine trying to get max speed with the very little setup a tiller allows you.

cool videos, got lost for over an hour in them! lol

 

Dudes pretty smart but a smart ass too! I feel pretty safe saying that since he cant use a computer and wont see this lol

 

Would love to spend a day in his boat!

 

 

Edit: Oh ya and I use Navionics + in my HDS units

We are going to drop this motor down the 1 hole tonight and see what happend in the morning, I think we just need some air under this hull. Its "glued" down so hard that in a hard turn it almost pitched us right out of the boat. This thing rails corners lol

So...we tested my laser 2 13.5x22 prop on this boat yesterday and here are the results. (not what I thought)

 

Holeshot-Crappy but got us out, much slower than the 19P

Mid-Range-We had great mid range torque

Top end-Only gained 1 mph

RPM-slight decrease (maybe 150RPM)

Trim-We had a little more trim before we lost traction, got it almost to level before cavitataion started

 

I really expected to gain a lot more on the top end. Will this boat really only do 35mph, I would expect at least 40mph out if her. Feels like the hull is glued to the water!

My prop hub is two pieces of rubber and it's designed to let go on a strike, etc. If that nut is loose.. then it's very possible that he hub is disengaging under load. I'd be pulling the prop off first... well after I put the engine in gear and then tried forcing the prop to turn first. If the hub shows signs of letting you do so, I'd lay bets you've chewed the prop hub out.

That also answers my next question of how to check it thank you. I guess I thought most of the load would come on accelerating out of the whole.

 

Will post our results tomorrow. Thanks again guys

if a 21p prop doesn't help (it sounds like your prop might me too low in pitch) the motor may be too high. What hole is the motor mounted in?

The motor is in the second lowest hole position. We are going to instal my prop tomorrow and do a test run. I run a laser 2 13.5x22p see if that helps.

It may also get dropped to the lowest hole.

 

I find it hard to believe in the past 7 years ans 2 other owners have not tried to figure this out

 

IRISH: terry also mentioned something about the hub, never thought about it slipping? To think about it I noticed the lock ring was loose and would rattle around. Could this be as simple as a bad hub or loose bolt? Did we really over think this 1

WOW Kawartha Prob is amazing!!! Guy help me out bigtime. Time to go see him for a couple of props!

 

Thanks again

You need a different prop, give Kawartha Prop a call, tell them what you've got and they'll give you their recommendation.

 

I was thinking prop too!!!

 

I have a Lazer 2 13.5 x 22P I could lend him to try, dont think its a good match for that boat tho

Hey guys

 

Buddy of mine just got a 2007 tracker V18 Sport with a 115 Opti on the back, nice rig!!! ( for an aluminum Deep V

 

We are having some problems tho....

 

Issue is this, boat needs to be trimmed all the way down to get it out of the water, once on plane the trim is all the way down and as soon as he tries to trim it up to gain some speed the RPM's jump past 6000 and over rev warning comes on.

 

Prop is a 13x19p aluminum, WOT he gets 34MPH at 5500 RPM (they claim to get 45mph with this set up?) As soon as he tries to trim up we get and over rev

 

Cav plate it 1 inch above transome, he also tried 1 of those fins on the back but didn't change anything.

 

Why can't we get the nose up and out of the water?

 

Any thoughts guys?

 

Thanks

Power pro.....only braid they need to make lol

City Wide Propeller 1865 Drew Rd. Mississauga.Ask for Louis. Excellent to deal with.

I will look them up

 

Thanks

Looking to have some prop work done on a stainless prop, anybody know of anyone close to Orangeville?Newmarket area that works on them.

 

I'm looking to have it fixed up a little and a little pitch removed

 

Thanks

Wow 150 hp, I guessed you had a few more horses pushing that!

 

Nice job sir

What is this? Hull? Motor?

 

More details man!!!! lol

 

So so cool!

Anyone used the launch near the bridge lately, first time to the lake and I'm not sure about this launch.

 

I also heard you can launch at the trailer park but I am not sure if they are still open

 

Thanks

What an amazing person!

Prayers!!!

LOL Matt, Simcoe is a big lake, probably as much fun as Lake Erie would be today in a bass boat.

 

That link keeps show the 2012 tournament for me, but the time shows 4pm, so maybe the live link starts at 4?

awesome thank you

 

Ya I have been out on simcoe in some very rough water, it wouldnt be the simcoe open without 6 footers tho lol

 

Safe bet is to shut it down, I heard that the insurance for the event limits them.

 

Good luck to all

A high of 50 here today and rainy and blowing, hope they have better conditions there!

Nope lol

 

They shut down simcoe and ran couch only

 

Live link anyone?

What did I miss, was that feed from 2012?

 

Anyone have a link?

27lbs out of couch WOW!!!

You mean pull a boat off a trailer? With straps? and the winch done up? Virtually impossible. Just how hard was your buddy ramming that poor motor into the transom saver to produce that kind of pressure? lol

 

I think he almost might need a lesson in physics.

I agree, never ever crossed my mind until a very well known pro staff bass guy mentioned it the other day.

 

How tight should the motor be to the steel kind with the rubber pads?

 

I have a 115 merc (soon to be a 150 ;P) and i feel i snug it down pretty tight. the boat can carry a 175 so its not at max weight im sure

Anyone got a day off tuesday and want to do some fishing the Orillia area?

 

Leaving Orangeville at 7, on the water for 9 off the water before 420.
