    Spectrum dominator speed increase

    I have a 1994 Dominator 16 with a 25hp Mercury and can get 25mph with just me in the boat. I would think that a 40 would get you to at least 30-35 mph.

    Mercury vs. Quicksilver vs. Solas Props

    I have one of those 25hp Mercs. It’s a 1994 and runs like a Swiss watch. I just put a new prop on mine. Tore the other one pretty bad. I would have gone with a Solas if I was sure I was getting the right one. I ended up putting a Mercury 13p on there. I have a 16 foot tin bass boat, full wood...

    Kidde Fire Extinguisher Recall

    My wife has already had the one in my boat and the one in the RV replaced due to the recall. They will send you the shipping label to send the old one back.

    You are getting old

    This is how I remember it. I'm turning 53 this month and grew up in the 60's and 70's. We grew up on an apartment complex and never locked our door until after 9pm if we thought about it at all. I used to watch Orioles games on our black and white TV. I had two paper routes and swept up at the...

    tracker carpet?

    I think the newer Trackers have 16 ounce. I put 16 oz in my Spectrum refurbish. It's not crazy plush but feels OK to me.

    Camping

    Mike, that place is amazing! I used to be a big tent camping guy. When my son as younger we would go every other weekend from March through November. My wife doesn't like to rough it. My son is grown up and moved out so now my wife and I have a class C RV. It's the only way I can get her to camp.

    Repurposing old props?

    Trolling you say? I guess there is a way. :lol:

    Repurposing old props?

    I didn't consider that Rich. Good point! I just put the new one on yesterday but didn't get a chance to run it. Shoulder is still a little sore from the surgery and I didn't think I trust myself to not make too many casts. :LOL2: How is the knee Rich?

    Repurposing old props?

    I mangled up the prop on my 25hp Merc. I can usually run 25mph in that boat.Had it out one day and the zinc trim tab came loose and made contact with the prop. The sound it was making had me thinking I blew something in the motor. Suddenly it smoothed back out and I made a run back up the river...

    Houston at our house, for anyone who cares....

    Wow Rich, I hope you stay on the right side of luck! I've seen the coverage on TV and it's bad down there. It's amazing seeing bass boats in the streets.

    G-force TM handle on Edge TM?

    i think I read a post or review where someone put one on an Edge. I'm curious as I broke the original rope on mine a few trips ago while loading my boat on the trailer. I replaced it with some tie line I had laying around but it has a little too much stretch and I feel like it won't last long...
