    BRP - Evinrudes parent company, will stop making ETECS and G2’s

    You'll find a bad apple in every bucket if you look hard enough. I'm opposite of most, I was a happy Merc owner and bought a boat that was powered by a one of those fabulous bullet proof grey Yamaha 200 hpdi's. Was a POS from day one that no one could figure out, had it to three very reputable...

    Ranger Trailers

    Well, that might be problem for some however mine is never going to see salt and if it does, it'll be washed upon reaching it's destination. I doubt that's an issue for 99% of boat owners, just sayin. What I can say, is trailers that don't have stainless hardware start showing signs of rust on...

    Ranger Trailers

    Yeh, I know most were very happy with their Ranger trailers and from what I could see, they mad a nice trailer. With that said, EZ Loader has everything from cheap trailers to very nice trailers. I've had an EZ Loader underneath each of my last two Yar-crafts and the Skeeter before those. Each...

    Boat battery question

    The battery should be the least of your worries. Fried ecu’s For your engine(s) and other direct wired electrical equipment would be my bigger worry at the moment. I would pull the battery, hook it up to a regular charger and see if it’ll take a charge with nothing hooked up. If it takes a...

    New merc 450.

    Well, that's a whole nother debate......is it really any different than buying a 400 Verado and doing a computer upgrade to kickout 450hp? I know you can insure it, and technically speaking boats over 20ft are not regulated by the coast guard for hp, thats purely up to the manufacture. Now...

    New merc 450.

    FWIW, I loved my 1895 Storm SC. It was one of the best pure fishing boats I've had the pleasure to own. Yours looks like nice well kept DC version.

    New merc 450.

    I ran that boat for 6 seasons with a 2006 225 Optimax, 25 more HP, less weight (no kicker), and less wind resistance (mine was a side console). Finding the sweet spot between engine height and running a custom worked DAH 21 Tempest, it was a 60 mph boat on GPS. using a paddle wheel is not an...

    New merc 450.

    It’s river runner recreation in Alberta. Apparently the owner has a man made pond for shaking down new boats before they send them out. Atleast that’s the story on Facebook. There’s actual video of it running on the yarcraft owners group page.

    New merc 450.

    SDMF, I had a 2000 1895 Storm SC with a 06' 225 Opti and a worked DAH Tempest Plus, it was a 60 mph boat depending on how it was loaded. I suppose the later erra ones labeled as a 2095 with 250 Pro XS loaded really light and set up perfectly might get 65+-?

    New merc 450.

    That same dealership hung a Seven’s Marine 557 on the back of a 219 a few years ago, they did a white and green 209 with a four Hundo ( that one’s running around Sakakawea), and now this masterpiece ��. This one seems to draw my eye to it more than the others, that 450 just looks right back there!

    anyone care to hazard a guess....

    Every-time a thread like this comes up, it always delves into the whole money thing. I guess I just don’t understand why people care so much about others, if they have money, if they financed it for 5 years or 30 years, what they all have, or how they use it. I say, to each there own. If they...

    Pellet Grills and Smokers

    Hmm, that's interesting. I've had mine about the same amount of time and just vacuumed it out for the first time last week. Was noticing I would have to run the start cycle several times to get it going ;:;banghead. Probably supposed to clean it more often I suppose, lol. Otherwise, it sits on...

    Pellet Grills and Smokers

    I'll second the green mountain Daniel Boone. I did find the limit was 22lbs of prime rib at Christmas. It turned out fabulous but that is officially all you can fit on the baby GMG!

    Introduction

    And yes, the dock was in, and we didn't see any ice other than some piled up on shore. We didn't venture to the south side of the lake however and with the wind blowing out of the north / northwest, the remaining ice may have been on the other side of the lake.

    Introduction

    I blew the dust of mine on Saturday and put in at the old marina at Stevenson. Fishing was awfully slow but it was great to get out on the water again. Must've been 20 or so trucks and trailers in the parking lot so I wasn't the only one with that idea.There were at least 4 of those nice...

    Verado trim ?

    You might want to have a dealer check where the trim limit is set via the computer. I’ve been told they can adjust it to a certain maximum value as allowed by the computer. It’s a dealer only thing. If they find it’s already programmed to the max setting, then your back to playing with engine...
