    That is completely incorrect, there’s lots of programmers out there for the 17 & 18 duramax’s

    What were you doing 17 yrs ago today?

    I was out looking at a job site and doing some survey work with the owner of the company I was working for when he got a phone call about the first plane just hitting the tower. didn't really even register with me right away. Finished up and headed to my college PE elective class of Bowling...

    WTH DirtyMike?

    And the only thing better than a 20 something boat, is a a 21 something boat, lol. My 186 Yar-Craft is also on the market! (Sorry Dirtymike, cheap sales plug). There’s just no replacement for 3+ more feet of length! Well kind of because for every foot the price appears to be exponentially...

    aluminum boats?

    you realize that Alumacraft was recently acquired by BRP? Although by the sounds of it they don’t intend to sole source Evinrudes, Yamaha has already pulled the plug and sounds like Merc will be doing the same for suppling them engines

    4bears tourney

    Hey short, sometimes it's fun to just have fast stuff, doesn't mean you need to be worth a darn at fishing, lol. Kinda like cars, trucks, sleds, bikes, ATVs, jet skis, golf carts, lawnmowers, or really most anything with an engine, lol. Pretty sure, I've never heard anybody say "boy, my boat is...

    4bears tourney

    As a Yar-Craft homer, the performance of their boats always puts a smile on my face! As they say Total Commitment, No Compromise. Maybe that means once over 70 mph you better be committed, lol. On the the flip side talking about the boat race the precedes these tournaments, I guess I've always...

    Yamaha V-Max

    The OX66 is supposed to be pretty solid. So was the the 2.6L 200 HPDI that I had however I must’ve gotten the 1 in 1000 that was a piece of shit, $6k, 3 dealerships, and 6 months later it still wouldn't run right. 6 months out of warranty and Yamaha nor anyone else wanted anything to do with it...

    Anyone regret going from aluminum hull to glass hull?

    If your primary fishing is big water, then the ansewer is no, no, and no. Grew up with aluminum and my first was aluminum, have had three glass boats and won’t consider anything else. It’s been yarcraft, skeeter, and another Yar-Craft! The next will be a Yar, Ranger, or Nitro; there’s no turning...

    Ranger 620VS

    The merc smart-craft gauge systems that I've had on my last two merc powered boats are fantastic. They give you everything from faults, fuel flow in GPH, engine temp, trim, troll control, oil temp or capacity (4 or 2 stroke), digital rpm, gallons used, and when tied to your GPS through the NEMA...

    Ranger 620VS

    SDMF is about spot on. I really hated the rear horse shoe storage but outside of that, the 6 series rangers do a lot of things very well and the new FS series only made the hull and interiors that much better. I spent some time in a 621FS last season and we ran some pretty rough water and it...

    I'm addicted to Power Pro

    PP for me too, it's on every single rod I own. I used to have two rods spooled with mono, after getting use to the PP, I couldn't fish with the mono and switch them over also. Been using it exclusively for almost a decade! Yes on the buy it in bulk 1500yd rolls, palomar knot works best, yes on...

    Boat battery recommendation?

    Bar none, these are some of the best batteries you can buy. https://www.vmaxtanks.com/Power-Boats_c_35.html I used to run into some voltage issues after a day running three graphs, the radio, the live well and other misc stuff. After trying two of the largest group 31s from two different...

    Zero Turn Recommendation

    Hate to say it, but your in the minority here which is usually the case from someone that doesn't need or hasn't used a commercial mower. and FYI, you have almost double into that deere than what I had into my 152Z. I'm about a 1/3 more for my 472Z. You also bought the top of the line...

    Zero Turn Recommendation

    I think this is more based on that a commercial operator is going to have zero patience for any down time. Down time is money to those guys, they can't be running around for an hour or two because of a something simple like a broken deck spring, or some other non-sense. For most of us...

    Zero Turn Recommendation

    Food for thought, but a commercial unit is just getting broke in at a couple hundred hours where as a a residential unit maybe half or more used up by that time. Also, nothing wrong with woods, just missed that one, lol. I priced new units and by purchasing the Gravley PT 472 as a 2-year old...

    Zero Turn Recommendation

    I was in your shoes about 10-years ago. I didn't want to break the bank but wanted to get a zero turn for our 6 acres of mowing. A good friend of mine at the time worked as a dept manager for a local rental company. I was pretty much all set to buy a new Toro Time-cutter thinking new with a...

    Prop Question

    How’s that new 186 outfitted? I run it’s brother bass cat calico with a 9.9 pro kicker and 200 optimax and it’ll tick between 59 and 60 mph with the jack Plate up and a custom bent 21p DAH tempest plus. The 186 is a heck of a high performance hull if set up right!

    String Trimmers

    I have / have had both gas 2 & 4 stroke trimmers along with a cordless electric. They all have their place. I use the electric at the lake where I only have 10 minutes or so of trimming to do. I have a 56V Ego that I bought from home depot a few years ago when they were closing them out. Not a...

    Absolute tragic accident. I'm a bit with KTM 450, there's a ton of variables that none of us know, so who am I to sit here and cast blame or call it criminal as some one this board have indicated from the seat infront of my keyboard? I not sure anyone her really knows all the facts of what...

    Traveling with Boat tarp on?

    My guess would be the strap popped loose while driving down the road, the tire ran over the strap and tore it off. how close am I?? As far as a Upholstery place to make tarps, I can attest to Custom Canvas out of Bismarck. Monte made one for me and then another for a buddy of mine after he seen...
