Big Cliff Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I am so sorry for your luck! Give me the address and I will make a special trip to get it and haul it away for you. Since you are a valued member of the OFC, I won't even charge you for doing it (please remember to leave the keys and registration where I can easily find them) Seriously; Beautiful package, not quite my style but I sure wouldn't mind owning one!

nancur373 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 It's a 115 4-stroke. Apparently it will hit about 47-50MPH (for now).That is..until I put a jack plate on it Sweet ride. What is a jack plate and what does it do? Curt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoty Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Sweet ride. What is a jack plate and what does it do? A jack plate allows the prop to run in cleaner water as to accommodate a higher engine height which leads to faster top end speeds and shallow water running. Less of the lower unit is in the water resulting in reduced drag. The prop is further away from the transom to avoid the boats turbulence as it travels through the water. Basically...makes you go smoother/faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbac31 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hey Stoty. No need to wait that long. First warm day I'll take mine out with ya. Launch out of the bluffs. I run mine all winter still. Fishin near the mouth of Frenchmens bay is still good at times. Usually by the end of Feb or first week in March. PS. What type of Jackplate are you gonna run. Depends on what you plan on doing or rigging that with. You dont gain alot of speed on most boats with a Jackplate. I have put several on boats of mine. I'm putting the new atlas on my boat this spring. Sure is nice in the shallows though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aniceguy Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 lol see stoty how the ranger guys get when the sled gets talked about ( INSERT DR EVILS LAUGH) Smallie is right maybe 3-5 miles but it will cost the JP and a new prop as your going to have to change that with the plate more then likely, seeing the boat and hearing the great report from your mechanic on it my opinion. . . . . run it . . gun it and enjoy the boat while its not a toon its the next best thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoty Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Ya, not gonna spend anymore on it right now, lol. Smalliefisher, I will keep that in mind, once it warms up a bit! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
