Once I was coming in right after the trout truck dumped a few hundred pounds of rainbows at the ramp. It was a keystone cops circus with people standing on the ramp tossing lures all over the place. They were chased off so I could get my boat out without getting hit by a stray cast. I've...

Sounds like you got the skinny. I note his story has evolved from the original.

"Heading hold does not take you in direction you set, at times turning 90* for a period then tries to get back on course." Thanks for the review. I have a Minn Kota 55# Power Drive. It has that same issue with taking a hard turn away from the auto pilot direction I set. I wonder why they do...

Great minds think alike. I use the exact same gauge when backing the trailer in - side bunks 3/4 out of the water. I agree with others about not worrying too much about the dents. You could put something like a piece of dark colored 1" thick dense foam across that front area. Like a bumper...

Which compatible battery charger are you using with the LFePO4?

Who wouldn't. Do you ask the guy to fire it up to see if he would do that? Might be a big indicator of how that motor was treated. I do understand buying big lots of motors is going to be a much different process.

Because the guy obviously isn't new to outboards. Everyone will know it is much easier to sell a motor when you can honestly say runs as opposed to the old waffling "I was told it runs". I think it a little hard to believe he didn't try to run the motor and of course it needs something or it...

I understand what you are saying. My concern is if the gov't gets involved in saying what kind of boat wake is allowed, we will all be in trouble.

I'm interested in what folks have to say about the dents. I have a couple small hardly noticeable depressions from the dock. As far as reinforcing the bow, probably better to avoid hard bumps into things (something I just might have a little experience doing, haha).

That is just a shame. I've had pieces of exterior ply from the big box store sitting outside for a few years that hasn't done that. Did they give any reasons why that happened?

"....why don’t they just do it?" That is the thing, isn't it. I won't believe the guy with that 9.9 Honda hasn't tried to start it.

I think I pasted the wrong link earlier. This one shows the second skin being added. He talked about using G-Flex Epoxy. https://www.tinboats.net/threads/1999-starcraft-superfisherman-transom-restoration.51213/post-515351

We had kind of an unusual result this morning. We were targeting trout. Trolling spoons 45' - 50' deep in 150 to 160 feet of water. Open water no where near any shoreline. In addition to some rainbows, we caught 3 bass (largest shown below). This is the first time I've caught any LMB...

"I thought everyone here would have at least a few dozen motors on hand?" Not me. I have only one motor hanging on the back of my boat. I am impressed with the motor collections you guys have managed to put together.

Since you are talking about replacing the transom skin, take a look at this thread. I thought it was a unique and effective way to address transom corrosion. https://www.tinboats.net/threads/transom-restoration-on-99-starcraft-superfisherman-176.51160/post-508390
