    Quality Rain Gear Opinions

    Very true! Fishingwise, I have a jacket and bid set of the Cabella’s guide-wear and have been very pleased. Pretty much lived in it for 5 days on my last Canadian fishing trip and it kept me dry and was very comfortable. Don’t know much about the other brands mentioned, my stuff probably isn’t...

    Merc 150 prop?

    I’ve never heard anyone think a mirage was better than a Tempest, that’s a new one. A bravo or rev 4, sure but a mirage, I don’t think so unless you have a really bad example of a tempest. For those that are impressed with a vengeance, your missing out! The vengeance is basically a step up from...

    Hummingbird Autochart Question(where is the map stored)

    Not sure I would try and do the Sakakawea package through blue tooth and your cell phone. I had my new boat rigged with Helix 10's and decided to save a few bucks and go through the chart select process to purchase mapping of Sakakawea for each of the units since I pretty much fish Sakakawea...

    Folbe advantage or advantage jr are about as good as it gets for the dollar. Very robust, quick draw style holder. I’ve ran them on two boats and outside of them being a little sticky till they get broke in, I’ve been very pleased

    Rat Poison Marijuana

    Unbelievable, and the excuse by the dad is even better. So if she is choosing to self medicate with street grass instead of getting a medical card and buying it legit, then what's the excuse for her girlfriend. By the way, I'm not ok with it. Both should be fined/charged accordingly also. Sorry...

    VanHook Classic 2019

    I don't think there's any question a bag like that can't be produced, more of a question of determining the winner by a length measurement instead of just weighing the fish. Especially when the top places are so close. To be honest, I'd think it would be quicker to weigh three fish in a tub and...

    Half tons & Campers

    Being a person that ones both a 1/2 and a 3/4 at the moment here's my thoughts. Local towing or withing a couple hundred miles, I'll drive my F150 3.5 Ecoboost up to about 8-10k lbs. It pulls, handles and stops just fine. The reality of stopping, is any trailer of significance should have...

    Which Prop would you recommend? Lund ProV 189 Verado I4 200

    The Bravo will spin close to the same as the Enertia, they spin pretty easy. If you go to a Tempest, drop to an 18P. The Rev 4 is a big wheel and turns hard, probably would need to drop to a 17p. This is of course assuming your spinning with in a couple hundred of the upper end of your RPM range...

    Which Prop would you recommend? Lund ProV 189 Verado I4 200

    Rev 4 or Bravo FS. High fives are a thing of the past with the introduction of these newer 4 blade designs. - - - Updated - - - I’m a big fan of the Tempest, but I’m on the lunatic fringe when it comes to boat performance and the Bravo and Rev offer better all around handling. For a straight...

    What brand of boat do you run?

    I loved my 1895 Storm SC. From a pure fishing standpoint it was one of the best I’ve owned!

    Towtector

    Anderson Ultimate - - - Updated - - - With works great on my F150. I have to rotate the flaps back a touch on the super duty otherwise the shank is to short. Not a big deal though, only takes 30 seconds to adjust. - - - Updated - - - Some day I’ll get motivated to cut an inch off the flaps...

    Towtector

    Ristorapper - I only had to spray the main frame from the hitch to the end of the V. I suppose the frame and front v-door hinge is only 8-10" in height. The main body V on my trailer is diamond plate from the bottom up about 30" or so and that was fine. The trailer frame on the other hand was...

    What brand of boat do you run?

    Yuk, that's a long wait! IT felt like the longest winter ever after putting money down on a new one late last summer! can't imagine starting that 4 months earlier, lol. So the better question AaronJ, I know your not going to go without this summer, what's the flavor for the 2019 season? - - -...

    What brand of boat do you run?

    - - - Updated - - - On Lake Sakakawea, running north, and not downstream on the river with the current pushing you along. - - - Updated - - - Be carefull who you question, there are a few of us that know how to set a boat up to run, and run well. That boat is now in Billings with a new owner...

    Strictly Sonar: Lowrance/Bird/Garmin

    Well, as a life long Lowrance user, I completely made the switch on the new boat to birds. I have a ton of learning to do still and have only gotten to use the Helix 10 SI G2N that was factory rigged on the dash. The new G3N's that were recently rigged have only been fired up in the garage...

    Towtector

    I took my enclosed trailer to tiff trucks in Minot and had them spray the hitch and front v of the frame with line-x. Kinda did it as preventative maintenance. After a few trips out to Cooke sledding I could see it was taking a beating. With the line-x, after two trips, still looks like new. We...

    Towtector

    I've looked at the Tier 4 Towtector and think it's probably the best hitch mounted system out due to the fact that it combines brushes and a rubber backing. I think this helps alleviate complaints from those that have owned rubber flaps and brush flaps. I have had two sets of Rock Tamers and I...

    opti-max oil

    Quicksliver also has a DFI oil, it isn't any cheaper than the black bottled mercury DFI oil, comes down to more what you can find. They say you can use any TCW3 oil in a pinch however I personally wouldn't use anything but the Mercury or QuickSilver DFI oil in an Opti. After owning 2 trouble...

    Prop Help

    I'm going to divulge here a bit, setting up boats to run and run well works well with my Type A personality, lol. Your right Riggen, you can't run every prop at the same height, there's a lot of factors both on the boat and the prop that will make a different. However, note that not all...
