Funny, I checked them out at the big C store the other day and didnt like them one bit. :lol:

I picked up an Abu Garcia 5600 C4 last season for $94. I also snagged an old 5000 on Ebay for about $30. all that one needed was a clean and lube and its good for another 30 years.

I have actually used the I boats site to find the part # and taken that down to Napa and had them order the parts. as long as you can find the part # more than likley your local parts store can get it.

have you checked the hub on the prop? I have heard of the rubber going bad and the prop spinning on the hub. does it shift in and out of gear smoothly?

I run a 40LB on my 14'er and it gets me around nice, but on some windy days a little extra would be nice.

whats odd though is that my 5600 is $100 cheaper then the Revo. you would think mine would be made over in Asia somewhere. :?

right now in MN with 2' of ice its a Gill Pill or Atomic Ant with a fat waxie on it.

5600 C4, Made in Sweden!!!! WHOOT!!! =D>

for that price there should be a little 5-6HP outboard clamped on the transom......

Mine runs off a lawn tractor battery. usually by the end of the season its still reading 12.4 volts.

IN! oh, and my B'Day is the 25th of Feb, but don't let that effect the outcome..... :lol:

I have been running my Finder off a lawn tractor battery for a couple of years. I usually run it all summer without having to recharge.

3/4" might be a little over kill and heavy.

the engine is not going to blow. its just going to bounce off the rev limiter. no harm can be done. go out in your car right now and hold the gas pedal down in neutral. it wont go past about 4500RPM's

my first name is Sean, lots of people call me shizzy.

SHA-WING!! 8) 8)

thats also how I strap down my little V. due to the small size of the boat most inexpensive transom tie down straps wouldnt work. one addition is a steel cable through the bow eye when its on the trailer.

I took up fishing when I hit my late twenties and quit drinking heavily. I found my self slowing down, looking past today and doing lots of self reflection on life. realized there was more then partying and chasing women. I grabbed my old $12 spinning reel out of my Dad's Garage and was hooked...

I cant really work on the boat till it starts to warm up. My only plans for the boat are (money permitting) a HP increase. the 6HP does just great but if I can find a deal on a larger outboard I will.

I have a friend that does this but has a 5lb scuba belt weight mold. we just get a good fire going in the fire pit and wait for a nice hot bed of coals. We use a metal coffee can for the melting. works pretty slick. and yup, the best way to remove them is a good smack on a concrete surface.
