    1984 Sea Nymph CC 191 w/ Mariner 90HP

    If that's only a 1500lb axle it's sitting on I doubt its the trailer that came with the boat. A quick search pulled up 1klb hull weight. That only leaves 500lbs for motor,gear, fuel, batteries, and the trailer itself. If you keep and modify the trailer to fit the boat I'd suggest an axle...

    Best outfit online to order a outboard ?

    I purchased a 20hp tohatsu through onlineoutboards.com . It arrived quickly at a local fed ex terminal where I then picked it up. Easy as could be

    Boat ramp traffic way down and fewer boats on the water?

    Just seen our first wake boat of the year quite certain its someone who lives on this stretch of river as I'm pretty far from the dam. Was the last thing I expected to see round the bend as it's only 5 ft deep this far up today and the water is up about 2ft from the rains over the weekend.

    Welcome aboard...I lived outside San Antonio for a few years and fished Canyon Lake a bit. I would keep the 15hp even on a 1k acre lake if the fish aren't biting at the dam and you decide to head to the other end of the lake the 15 will get you there 4x+ faster and burn very little fuel doing it.

    1984 Sea Nymph CC 191 w/ Mariner 90HP

    Nice boat! That's going to be a very nice rig once you get it all sorted. If it was stored properly it may not take much at all to get going. I would check to make sure bugs/vermin haven't made a nest in any small passages and see if she fires on fresh mix.

    Boat ramp traffic way down and fewer boats on the water?

    The jetski and pleasure boat crowd doesn't get going here untill memorial day. I have only seen 2 other boats all year both were fishing but I haven't gone on a weekend yet

    Wax On Wax Off

    Fresh coat of wax ...maybe now it will do 60 lol. In all seriousness it took me over an hr just to get the scum line off from our first couple trips this year with the high flood waters. Been waiting for a nice warm day to give it a coat nothing special just spray on wax but it will clean up a...

    What have you been up to lately?

    Stocking up on bait and making sure everything is ready to go once mother nature gets ahold of herself. Been getting less salamanders and more crayfish in our traps.

    Is the motor height going to be an issue?

    20mph is moving with a 9.9 in that boat. A tachometer would tell you if and how much you could potentially change prop pitch. You can play around with where you have the trim set to see if that helps the time to plane any.

    Lithium Battery Question - 50AH LiFeP04 for a 55# thrust Minn Kota?

    I suspect now that these are more common and more people are using them that outboard manufacturers will deal with that on their end pretty soon. I'd love to go all lifepo4 I could save another 100lbs.

    Lithium Battery Question - 50AH LiFeP04 for a 55# thrust Minn Kota?

    I still wouldn't run one for cranking untill either my warranty is up or yamaha says they are OK. I think the biggest problem is charge profile from the alternator

    I love rivet nuts - but need some way to touch up the mistakes :)

    I love riv nuts but they need to be snug when installed into the hole before squeezing. If your installing In really thin aluminum I could see them having limited strength. I used them for the t bars and other rod holders for catfish on my last several boats without fail. The drags are...

    Is the motor height going to be an issue?

    Looks like the perfect opportunity to install a jack plate. Others have nailed the performance issues from it mounted to low. If that transom measures 20" than perhaps the motor is a xl 25" shaft.

    routing wires in PVC along gunnel or under the grizzly 1648 bottom?

    Is there room to run pex tubing under the floor then run your wire through the pex? Would provide additional security from chaffing and it's flexible and comes in multiple diameters. I've done the pvc under the gunnel on boats without a floor and mounted the pvc with a couple stainless steel...

    Thread type

    With any plumbing type fitting or hose on a boat if you have a local ag equipment dealer nearby chances are they have the fitting/hose etc in stock ....ag sprayers use lots of the same stuff

    Lithium battery - worth the expense?

    The potomac is flowing hard right now .I ran my 36v garmin for 4hrs not just anchoring but moving upriver as well at times using 70% throttle to make headway and at the end of the day the little 55ah 36v lifepo4 still had 80% juice.
