if you can get all the manufacturers on board to use the same batteries and make them easily changeable so that it could be done by the average person at a battery station is going to be really difficult. Not too mention how many batteries larger vehicles would need like semi trucks or pickups...

you will be a little lighter going to a blazer 1742 .080 hull from an alweld 1752 .080, but you won't be loosing that much weight maybe 100lbs. You could attempt to lighten your current hull. If it has a full floor I'm willing to bet it has water logged foam under the floor. Pull the floor up...

As much as I'm an old omc fan I run a 1991 evinrude triple 70hp with a jet, I don't know that I would recommend the switch from what you got. It sounds like you made your yamaha a 50hp and essentially maybe little more. You won't see a marketable difference with the omc twin. It is a good motor...

I've found thinner rubber mat at the rural king farm and home store near me that is like 1/4" it's not light weight but a lot lighter than the thick 1/2 and 3/4.

hard to say if batteries for electric power will prevail or another on board device for producing electricity. Hydrogen fuel cells are another still in early infancy stages. Some drastic break through would have to come about for batteries to get the ranges and quick charges needed to overcome...

I've had fish pick up baits and head towards me those are the ones I have to reel like made and ram her home to get the hook in.

I'm usually not looking for gravel/sand but my main river when it gets really low late summer/early fall is when smallie fishing is best, and some riffles it's unavoidable to get through sucking up some. Like I said the polishing can help, I haven't bothered with spending the time to do it or...

An 1860 will be fine with a115/80 unless the boat is a pig weight wise, it won't scream, but it should plane out just fine. The funny thing a lot of people think the 2060 vs an 1860 will plan slower than the 1860 with the same engine, but you'd be surprised. The 2060 will draft less and actually...

I'd say 34-36mph depending on load and setup, sure some 60/40's are seeing this, but it will beat a 60/40 by far when your loaded down in terms of top speed and time to plane out.

pretty interesting, and neat.

where are you running it? If your running in SEMO and going on the ozark scenic river ways with the HP restrictions the 60ho with a pump is going to be your fastest motor. This is because it's actually the same displacement same three cylinder block as the 75/90hp etec. So it's sold as a 60hp...

nice hopefully it isn't too wore out. I still have my old wore out one that I welded on sitting on my work bench, haven't gotten around still to trying figure out a good way to turn it back down.

So what did you end up doing, jets typically need to be trimmed all the way down (tucked in) to get on plane well. Then you can try and trim up some to increase top speed. Your original jack plate is setting it back too far, it can work with a jack plate, but if your staying with the jet just...

I don't think many of mass producers do, but plenty of custom boat builders do. For bigger manufactures I know Excel boats have longitudinal stringers I don't know about any others. Have you considered any custom builders you might be surprised that the cost may be less or the same for a better...

if your not beating up the bottom on your boat then you didn't need a jet, or your just not using your boat. My boat has it's fair share of dents just part of it if your using a jet boat for what it's intended.

I like gam hooks you can get them in bulk packs for not too much money off ebay or jann's. I've also just this past year started trying the the academy sports brand of hooks h2o xpress they're surprisingly good especially given the price. The ones I have are made in south korea which was a...

as far as the weights I will stick with lead I'm cheap.

gnappi they're a little more expensive than the frog you posted, but you should try the z man frogs. They are incredibly tough, and float so if you want to pause them they don't sink down. I'd venture to say they would last even with snake heads biting them unless you get broken off. The down...

sounds like a rush, I know when my wife and I were in montana on our honey moon last fall she caught a 22" brown in a lake we trolled I had never caught a larger trout before. Was a lot of fun at first it didn't fight much but when it got close enough to see the boat it took off drag zinging...

well hopefully the terrova 2nd gens with the ipilot link aren't too bad, I wasn't really looking but have half hazardly been keeping my eyes open for a 24v motor for a little more power in current. Well I came by one near where my mom lives for got the guy down to $650 didn't seem like a bad...
