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

    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.

    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

    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...

    Center console or stick steer

    You guy have me thinking...yeah I know. I just bought an NRS Outlaw 140 (14') round boat full of air and I'm putting my 5 hp Tahatsu propane on the back for "upstream" and flat water runs. It will be behind the rear fishing seat so I need to come up with a steering/throttle/gear control thingy...

    2.5 hp Mercury starting problems

    I have the old 3.3 hp Merc and the first time each Spring or whenever the first start of the season happens I shoot a short squirt of "starting fluid" in the direction of the carb and it starts easily and thereafter all Summer. I think there must be an accumulation of oil or gunky stuff (not...

    Float pods

    I'm not sure how we got to October but here it is...still nice in ID but snow will fly soon enough. I have failed you guys....just took the Lowe out once and have all the parts to add the floaties but ain't there yet. I'm thinking of a NSR raft leaning post for the jon boat. We stopped in to the...

    tahatsu 5 hp propane

    Did I forget about you folks....yip but only until now. I have a bout 8 or 9 hrs on my 5 hp Tahatsu propane on the Lowe 1240. Still on the first 20lb tank and I'd guess it's about half full. GPS speed with my wife and I and lots of stuff to include an ice chest is probably an average of 12 mph...

    Float pods

    Almost warm enough to get boats wet. I have been working on my 12' Duraboat and adding a 6 gal tank in the nose to add some weight up front and extra fuel. I'm on the verge of adding a mount up front to set up a bow electric motor which always works better than one on the transom...at least in...
