    Prop Help

    Not the case at all, motor height is more a function or set-back / hull configuration, prop diameter and tip cupping. A three blade tempest will run as high as any of the 4 blades that are used on our style of boats.

    Prop Help

    Here, let me fix this for you! Seriously through, there is no downside to getting your boat operating in the RPM band where it's supposed to. If it'll run at the top of the RPM range when light, it will perform decent when loaded, you'll lug the engine less putting less wear and tear on it...

    Boat battery recommendation?

    Tried a set if Trojan 27s in the enclosed snowmobile trailer this season. So far so good, time will tell if I get 5+ years out them. Definitely a noticeable difference over the interstates I had been using. The sled trailer is brutal on batteries. Trying to get decent reserve capacity when the...

    Prop Help

    New rig is a 2018 Yar-Craft 219TFX W/350 Verado, previous rigs were a 2013 Yar-Craft 186 FSX W/200Opti, 2011 Skeeter WX1900 W/200HPDI, and a 2002 Yar-Craft 1895 Storm SC W/ a 2006 225Opti. Lots of prop & engine height testing on those first three. Hopefully I learned a thing or two and the 219...

    Prop Help

    My thought would be to get it through break-in and get around 10-15 hours on it. Then see what it does with what will be your lightest load you'd ever run. At that point, you can start dialing it in via prop pitch and engine height. If you don't have a jackplate, a good starting point is to get...

    Erie bound

    Aaron, there are some fellow Yar-Craft folks that guide in that area. Jay Couch is one that I know of for sure. Nice guy and you'd feel right home in his rigs. He delivered my last boat up this way. An Erie trip is always in the back of my mind, been thinking about doing one for about 3-years...

    Shock collar

    PAIN, If your not getting any response, typically the collar is not tight enough, the prongs are too short, or the stimulation level needs to be turned up. However, with that said, it is a correction tool to go along with obedience training. If the dog doesn't understand why he/she is being...

    Shock collar

    I have a sportdog underground fence enclosing 6 acres and it works excellent. Just make sure you throw the wire that comes in the kit in the trash and order some 12Ga direct bury tracer wire. That'll save you a bunch of headache. Also, I still maintain I'd take a good beeper collar over a GPS...

    Shock collar

    Dogta 2500t&b has worked flawlessly for me. I ran it’s predecessor, the 2000 T&B for 12 seasons before retiring it. It has a 0-100 retrostat for levels of correction, two correction modes, three beeper/locator modes and two different tones for the beeper. When working tight tall cover like...

    Sb 2315 - final house vote delayed!!

    This is exactly the same as I have received. We obviously live in the same district. Although I'm not sure my district senator and I see eye to eye, we've had some good debate back and forth and I appreciate the fact he has taken the time to both respond and listen. Fegley has provided zero...

    Dog food ?

    Been feeding my hounds the Rachel Ray stuff and it has agree'd with both of them. First ingredient is a protien which I feel is important versus that of a grain or corn which can be used as a filler. I tried science diet but it must've been a bit too hot for my Brittney's, it went through them...

    Used Pickup Help

    $15k was mentioned in the first post. FYI. Although they might be out of the price range, the ford 6.4 diesels can be a bargain. They were and still are the strongest stock diesel in a pick-up made. They were horrendous on fuel mileage and needed a only a few things to be bullet proof. Basically...

    Used Pickup Help

    If it's not your daily driver, and your not traversing the country and towing more locally, I'll echo one of the best bangs for the buck is the Ford V10. the 05's and up are little more desirable as they came the 5 speed auto, 4.10 gears were standard with optional 4.30s, and they got the 3...

    Ranger 620 / lund 202 pro v gl

    this used to be the case. Quite a few “quality complaints” over on walleyecentral since ol’ Johnny Moris took over. Not sure it’s a direct result of that or Vexus poaching 80+ employees from Ranger when they opened. In either case, I think there are some other brands that have made significant...

    Open Water Watch

    Agreed ndfibfan! Lasted year on April 1st we still had the sleds out. This year, they were put away by the 15th of March, and I was just fine with it! I also have a new sparkle boat, been a long winter staring at it in the garage, just went back to the dealer this week for the finishing touches...

    Keep it sparkly!

    Mine gets wiped down in the parking lot every time it gets pulled out of the water. On the very rare occasion that doesn’t happen or when I want to touch it up a bit more after it’s dry and back home, I use a product called “Hot Sauce” which is a pretty good water spot remover. They also have...

    Must feel real good

    I'll throw my quick rant out on this subject. Travel BB is more about the parents and their winning complex than the kids from what I've seen. My kids play some travel ball and other various sports both for the school and outside of the school programs. The ridiculousness that I have seen pulled...

    Frozen in Ice Castle ideas?

    Don't take any offense, looks like a shitty deal and I guess this is why a person has insurance but I have to imagine the inside of that house is trashed?
