    Looking to buy a new 1648 john boat for the creek and river

    Im looking at the Grizzly 1648MVX and its rated for a 40HP max Im planning on a 30HP Tohatsu, I think that will plane her off well even under a heavy load with the right prop. Wish I knew some one with this set up to see how she runs. I noticed Backwater Marine installing 20HP Tohatsu on their...

    "Reasonable" outboard HP for a new boat

    I guess Im ask backwards but one thing I have learned in over 40 years of boating. It takes a lot more pony power and oats to gain a little more speed. I try to figure out what HP I need to plain out with a heavy load and go with that. Im sure a 100 HP engine will plain that boat with the right...

    1542LW Tracker seat chop.

    Cant tell much difference in structure boat still seems plenty stiff. The seat is riveted to the floor and I left about an inch all the way across. But it sure makes for better fishing.

    plastic fuel tanks

    Thanks Guys, think I will just try the Attwood tank at Academy Sports as well. They sell the mercury small four strokes which are the same motor and should have the correct fuel hose to match. I always use stabill and non ethanol fuel. In my little humble opinion as well as the boat machanics...

    1542LW Tracker seat chop.

    Love the Tempress seats. Thats one thing I cant skimp on and they keep us out on the water longer. My plan is to build side storage boxes down both sides so I will use thoes to add some side strenth. I only run 4HP motor so that takes a good bit of ware and tare off the hull. I may bolt on a mud...

    Flathead Catfish Shocked For Removal

    The Flathead and Blue cats are not native to our SC waters and I can say from seeing the Bluegill Crappie and Bass populations drop dramatically over the last 30 years in Stevens Creek in Edgefield SC as well as the Redbreast in the Edisto River that they are destroying our native fish. 30 years...
