    best NEW walleye fishing boat...

    1. When actually fishing, the difference between AL and Glass is most evident in how much straighter it tracks when trolling (electric, kicker, or main) as well as predictability in a drift. 2. You need more trolling motor because you can never have enough. I went from an 18.5'/95.5" wide AL...

    Yar-Craft 186 tfx or Nitro Zv18 With Verado Pro 200

    I've got my 2 trolling batteries under the center rod locker where they were designed to go and mine still rids a little nose-high. Mine came w/60" shaft trolling motor, if buying new I'd got 72" shaft in a heartbeat. I primarily fish Devils and also have yet to dip a wave over the bow.

    Yar-Craft 186 tfx or Nitro Zv18 With Verado Pro 200

    Based purely on weight vs. my Yamaha V-6 4-stroke, you'd be getting the kicker for "free". That'd allow a guy to go to a 36V trolling motor, or, have a dedicated accessory battery and still be ~40# lighter than I am. There's darn few places a guy can shave 100# off of total boat weight and...

    Yar-Craft 186 tfx or Nitro Zv18 With Verado Pro 200

    I'll be starting my 4th season on a 186TFX w/windshield. I have a 200 Yamaha 4-stroke V-6 (19P Enertia prop) and a 9.9 yamaha 4-stroke high-thrust kicker. I've never been in the ZV18 so I can't compare at all. Here are some GPS/fuel-flow meter numbers. Best fuel mileage based on fuel flow...

    Boat Ramp Season!

    Early 60's loud-mouth entitled ass runs his boat into the courtesy dock, ahead of the "line" of boats waiting to use same. The reason there's a "line" waiting is because it's a bit lumpy getting in/out. Loud-mouth runs it in at an odd angle, hollers at at least 2 boats who kind of pin him in...

    Help with skag!?

    1st trip with my 1st boat I forgot to open up the breather valve on the gas tank. 1st trip with my 2nd boat I'm throttling up the 125HP Merc 2+2, get to 1800rpm and the 2nd 2 cylinders engage. Buddy up front is installing a dip of chew as the motor makes the switch to 4 cylinder power, buddy...

    It'll take most folks longer to find the right size drill bit than the rest of the fix.

    Help with skag!?

    I broke a pretty good sized chunk out of my skeg and for 3 seasons the SS Skeg-Guard I bolted on has done it's job. 0 difference in performance of my boat in either speed or handling. If you've got an inch or so left for the full length of the gear-case you should be fine with a bolt on. Up...

    What Questions to ask?

    Clean connections on the batteries is one of my "indicators". So is the very 1st drip out of the lower unit as well as the condition of the plug-screw. I can see if the plug has been in/out, I can also see if the proper tool was used as those plugs are easy to bugger up. Proper tool use is...

    Favorite meal of the day

    Tikka means he can't narrow it down and loves them all. You need an "All of the Above" answer for him to check. For me it's dinner because it's almost always the one meal that I'll take the time to sit down and just eat as well as put some forethought and prep time in. I love breakfast food...

    .22 mag pistol??

    I've shot the Kel-Tec 30. While the one I shot was minorly finicky about what ammo you fired, once you find the ammo it likes, it is flawless.

    Spotting Scopes

    That Leupold 12-40x60 really nice if you wear glasses as it's got a longer eye relief than most of the others. You can roll down the rubber eye cup and leave your glasses on to use it.
