I really depends on how you are going to use the phone, I have had G3, and now own a G4, company paid for them, but also offered a IPhone. If you are using and attaching and uploading files saved on your phone or even opening the files and using a spreadsheet application, the Samsung phones are...

I went through the same questions myself, was it worth it in the long run, Absolutely. I have been able to tweak my boat/motor setup to get maximum speed, vs. proper RPM range, vs. maximum horsepower. Overall I won't do a boat without one now. It cost me maybe $20.00 to make mine and about...

OK, I'm up on the AZ high mountains, current elevation is 7600ft, and raining like mad I must say. Stated the day with the 7 pitch, as stated above the motor even at this elevation will seriously overev with the 7 pitch, RPM's not even at WOT are in the high 6000, say 6700 and that's not...

Heading to higher elevation tomorrow, as far as I can find, there is no information regarding high elevation jets for this motor, tried everything, even called BPR? They won't even talk to you if the motor is less than a 2000 years model. Borrowed a 9 3/8" x 7pitch prop for up there, going to...

OK, I will think through a 11 pitch prop, however I'm not so sure that the cost of a new prop would be worth the extra mph. I really appreciate you looking at the numbers, I was primarly after someone looking over what I had vs. what would be an ideal setup, and based on what you guys are...

Thanks, I appreciate it! OH BTW, the motor is a 15hp not a 9.9 like the pictures show, it's just been re-stickered. Thanks, Rob

Sorry forgot to state that the cowling sticker has been replaced with a 9.9 sticker for AZ, it's really a 15hp with a 9.9 sticker, the manual say WOT is 6250 on the 15 hp? Thanks, Rob

Johnny, You posted this statement in another post, I wanted to ask a question regarding this statement: A 4 blade will not increase speed, it will take away from top end. Since it is a 76' model and does have the 2.41:1 gear case and RPM range 5500-7000k I would recommend a 3 blade 10 pitch...

OK, Calling out all you prop experts, finally had some time today to take the boat out and do some testing and adjustments and took some notes. Basics: * Boat is a 12' Game-fisher V hull. * Boat weight, with myself full fuel and all my "Stuff", +- 375/400 lbs with motor * Motor is a Johnson...

Had the chance to fish the Sacramento River in Redding, CA last week. I am a Regional Manager for a large manufacturing company, so I was able to take a client with me on the trip along with one of the owners of our company from Georgia. I connected with a guide, Mike Bouge Guide Service...

Yes I have the same app for my phone, these stations report ethanol free gas as being sold, what they don't tell you is that it's VP race fuel. The fuel they sell is U4.4 or VP110, both of which would be too much for small outboard motors. We race offroad Ultra4, and the fuel available ranges...

Believe it or not, Arizona has some of the worst air quality in the country, we are fined heavily buy the Fed for not cleaning up our air quality. Then someone says "hey if we use ethanol in our gas that will help some" bingo ethanol in fuel everywhere. Good luck other than race gas finding...

Let's clarify a few thinks, I'm not talking about doing this for 60 gallons of gas, however I use maybe 10 gallons of gas ever maybe 5 weekends out, small motor small boat. Gas without ethanol other than race gas, is not available in AZ, and race gas runs right around 7.50 a gallon and where...

No need to hunt down ethanol free gas, remove the ethanol yourself it's very simple. Pour 3 gallons of gas in 5 gallon bucket, pour 1 gallon of water in gas in 5 gallon bucket use a gallon water plastic jug, this equals, 4 gallons total. Stir rapidly the water and gas for about a minute or...

Had all the best intention to getting it out this weekend, but it never happened, ran into a few snags. When I got the motor, the prop was all torn up, so I had it rebuilt, Props Plus is right here in Scottsdale, AZ and for $42.00 to have it repaired I cold not resist, considering I may change...

My motor to transom length is way off, long shaft, short shaft, whatever shaft.... LOL The boat is forever old, I wanted to make sure that there were not any gains or losses with the length of the motor vs the boat, so I decided to build the plate, it really was not a huge deal, I got the angle...

No problem, I got the idea from some pictures I saw online, so it's really not my idea... LOL Motor hanging wood, is two pcs of 3/4" exterior plywood laminated together, with 9 coats of Helmsman Spar on it. Angle is 2 1/2" x 2 1/4" x 1/4" Enjoy, it was a fun project. Rob

Fair question, I used wood as the backing on the transom as i work with wood more than aluminum, and feel as long as the wood is treated well it lasts and I think provides more strength. As far as the actual where the motor will hang from, the motor has little teeth that when clamped to the...

Thanks for everyone input, here is what I did, copied the design by looking at others posts, adjusted it for my application. Took longer for the Spar to dry than it did to but the thing together. Thanks everyone for there help. Ready for fishing now, just have to get my truck...

Awesome report!!!!! I think it's awesome that your daughter is your fishing partner! Keep up the reports, it was a blast to read. Thanks Rob
