I've got a 98 90hp Force motor. I got stranded about 15 miles from the boat ramp. I tried to start the motor and it acted like the battery was dead. I tried both of my trolling motor batteries and it still wouldn't start. After several hours and a borrowed battery that initially failed. I got...

I've got a 2012 Tracker Grizzly 1860 center console. I use it in the river, lakes, bays and to duck hunt out of. I'll probably even use her this year to do some deer hunting. I've been thinking about changing the camo pattern and painting the motor. If I do, I'm thinking I may want to name her...

Went with my boss fishing today. Caught some keeper reds. Then I caught this sea monster.

So my 73, almost 74yo, dad borrowed my boat yesterday. He added 8 gallons of fuel to my 1/2 -3/4 full fuel tank and didn't add any oil. They ran it all day trolling. I'm sure they got on plane, but probably not much more. He then came home and added 10 gallons. He said it was smoking the whole...

I took my 1860 tracker to the bay for a Blast and Cast Men's Ministry duck hunt. While on plane I could run in 18" to maybe a foot of water. However I could not get up on plane from a dead stop. I do not have a tunnel. I have a 90hp Force with a 3 blade prop. I know that I can add a 4 blade...

I have a poling platform from a Maverick boat. It could also be used as a casting deck. The base is 24" in the front and 30" in the rear. Front to back it is 24". The total height underneath is 40". The top is fiberglass with non skid that measures 26.5"X32". I'd like $200 for this. I'd...

Happy Fathers day to all the dads and soon to be's. My wife and I made plans to go fishing today, her idea. But she had our first baby shower for our daughter in law and the next one in two weeks! Yep, I'm going to be a grandfather in Aug. TWICE!!! ( but that's another story) My wife was wore...

I need more storage. I built a 20"X60" box off my front deck and I still don't have enough. I want to add some hatches with the bins. Where is the best place to get them, or what did you do? I like the idea of an anchor storage like this. Well I can't get the pic to load, I'll try again...

We do fiberglass and aluminum repairs for Bass Pro Shops. We do a lot of different work for them and occasionally we get a good deal from them. My dad struck a deal with them on this 2012 center console 1860 with sponsons. It probably had 30 small pinholes on the bottom. Plus the original...

Anyone got a good reel to wade fish with in the salt? My curados aren't lasting too well. I wash them down after, but they still get messed up inside. I know there are better reels out there that will hold up better....what are they?

Got to spend some time on the water with my dad. Didn't catch many, but a couple quality fish. uploadfromtaptalk1392689310588.jpg 17 1/2" uploadfromtaptalk1392689340156.jpg 18 1/4" Both about 2.5lbs.

I saw a thread about someone who built a home made version of a power pole. They had a video. I can not find the thread. DSoes anyone know what the title was or what forum it was in? I have searched, but I am sure I am just missing it.

Livewell? :LOL2: I have a plastic tank that I was planning to turn into a livewell, but I think it is too small. It measures 33"Lx11"Hx10"d. I believe it is about 15 gallons. I was going to mount this in my rear seat, but I am starting to thinnk it is just too small. I may build one out of...

I got a GREAT deal on some rods the other day. Our local Academy sports and outdoors store put some rods on sale for $10. I picked up several. Now I need some reels to match up to them. I have fished curados for years. Back when I worked at BPS I got them for a discounted price. I bought weveral...

I am in the process of looking for a small SUV or Pickup. I have come across several small SUV's that are FWD. I can not afford new, so I am looking at used. I know years ago that towing with FWD was frowned upon, but I am hearing more and more that the manufacturers are building better FWD...

I am thinking about adding a new depthfinder to my rig. I have not had time to read up on the newest, latest and greatest units. Like which is better, down scan, side imaging....etc. I would like a unit that I can see what is really below me, more like a 3d image. Does anyone have a reliable...

I have a friend that just bought a War Eagle boat with a '99 25hp Johnson motor on it. He is having some problems with his fuel pump. While accelerating fuel is spitting out of the back of the pump and it keeps missing. When he bought it the seller toid him he just put a new FP on it. I took it...

I have been very fortunate that I have picked up several bags of soft plastics over the years. The problem is I have no way to keep them all and keep the organized. How do you keep your soft plastics? I have a large worm bag that has these zip top bags in it with a binder rings in it. It is...

I have always tried to be frugal and buy my fishing line when Wal-Mart puts it on sale. But I am starting to second guess that strategy. I spooled a reel the other day with new line out of the box, but I had bought this spool a few years ago. I head to my local fishing spot and I am using a...

Anyone ever installed electric brakes to an existing trailer? I am thinking about installing electric brakes to my boat trailer as I would like to tow it with mu little geo tracker. I have towed it in the past and pulling it is no problem. But getting it to stop is another issue. Trying to find...
