    Repowering a Tracker with a Mercury 60 45 Jet

    You don't need a tunnel and retro fitting a hull with one is quite an undertaking. The tunnel will give you a little more protection for the foot but also creates more drag on the hull. I think it's a fair statement to say that most people with jets rarely ever push them to the limit of...

    Transducer causing rooster tail behind boat

    +3 Had same issue with Hummingbird transducer. They actually made a little rubber plug to go into the gap in the tranducer bracket. I called them and they sent it to me for free.

    Build or buy?

    Would you build your own TV, even if you could? That's how I answer that question when someone asks be should they build or buy. Computers are a commodity now. Buy one, use for a few years...throw it away and buy another one.

    1648 Center console or stick steer?

    It's a definite trade off. Consoles take up a lot of room in a 48" boat.

    turkey hunters

    Spring Gobbler is my absolute favorite. if I could never deer hunt again...well, I'd be sad. But, if I couldn't Spring Gobbler hunt, I'd probably be suicidal. LOL

    Does anyone make a tunnel hull that runs the lenght of the b

    Maybe you should google hydrodynamics and learn the difference between planing hulls and displacement hulls. Thinking is a side affect of not knowing....so nothing to rethink on my end. Good luck with turning your jon boat into a catamaran. Here's a good site for beginners...

    Does anyone make a tunnel hull that runs the lenght of the b

    Loss of displacement.. Increase in drag. Cavatation from trapped air. Bad idea.

    chosing the right trolling motor

    I have an 80# Maxxus on my 1656. I wouldn't go with anything less that 75# myself for fishing in current.

    Bent intake grates

    ...one more thing....recommend using a proper punch for the pins so you don't flare it.

    Bent intake grates

    Really not that bad. But, it's still costing you some power. Knock the pins out and and straighten it. If it's in a bind and hard to get out, pass a rope over it and give it a snatch...will pop right out. I have to straighten mine at least twice a year. You might get some advice on beveling...

    Motorguide Trolling Motor Shear Pins

    Ouch. That line can burn the brushes up on the motor. Spare prop is nice to have. A few years ago I was way back in some flooded timber and my TM prop got loose and came off in 7 ft of water. Took hours to get the boat out.
