    Prevalence of "Electric Only" Lakes?

    Wish they would accept propane powered in place of only elec.

    Fishing License

    I'm a DV too but only 40% but I still get the old guy rate...$30 for 3 year hunting and fishing, Blessings to all DV's.

    Tenn. school shooting

    That's correct but then the dealer has the right to refuse sale of the gun if there is a valid reason or....for any reason that they do not feel comfortable selling the gun to that person.

    Tenn. school shooting

    Very complicated issues. I did a vulnerability assessment following a shooting at a college years ago. I identified many many more questions than answers but most officials I interviewed were concerned with CYA and not solutions. Nothing new there.

    Speed with 9.8 Nissan

    Maybe some exhaust opening too. Anyone know if NV has 2 stroke restriction?

    Center console or stick steer

    All good points. I don't have Park but I do have bad feet from Agent Orange and I can't walk on soft stuff at all. The round boat is probably getting a 2.5 since I't lighter but no reason not to use the 5 hp. Latest frame design in my little brain has me in the back with lots of frame parts to...

    Propane conversion

    Yeah...you're both right. I have 5 hp propane Tahatsu and I love it but this is going on a 13' NRS fly fishing raft and the smaller motor is 20+ pounds lighter than the 5 hp. I only use non-corn 92 in all my small engines. The 2.5 has a internal tank and the motor will be mounted a ways back on...

    Propane conversion

    Maybe a 2.3?? BUT...no messy gasoline. Ya'll still have bears up there?

    Propane conversion

    I have a new Suzuki 2.5hp...cute little thing, 29 lbs and highly rated by users of previous years. I bought it as a Halloween present to myself to use on a canoe (plastic not tin), kayak (plastic not tin) trolling motor for my Duroboat (tin not plastic) and maybe for a 13' NRS raft (rubber not...

    what size motor

    I dunno about better but they are going to be forced upon us at some point. I'm kinda tired of being told what's best for me then being lied to also.

    what size motor

    I grew up just North of Winter Park and remember all those rivers/lakes back before Disney screwed it up...just can't go back. I bought a 13' NRS raft with a 3 person fishing frame this morning and plan to go to Henry's Lake next Fall and drift the river too after steelhead on the Clearwater...

    what size motor

    Roger that! I have a 2 stroke 9.9 merc that's on it's second "freshening" and will serve me well next summer. On the other hand I'm getting pretty fond of my new crop of 4 strokes, a 15 Merc and a 5 Tahatsu propane and I just bought a 2.3 Suzuki for something or other...maybe just 'cuz it's...

    2.5 hp Mercury starting problems

    I went from a 9.9 2 stroke to a 15 4 stroke Merc on my 12' Duroboat...much nicer than the 9.9...only mistaker was not getting elec start...$300 more and 8 lbs if I recall. Older I get the more I like push button things...especially on my blender.

    Customized 1996 Bass Tracker Pro Team 17 renovation

    WOW very nice!! I have a 1995 Grumman 1754 that was once upon a time a bass boat pretty much like yours. I still have the front casting deck but I nearly got thrown overboard while trying to land a rockfish. A wave/wake hit the boat on the other side from where I was playing the fish and...
