    New Personal Best!

    Headed out to the Lanier yesterday with two first class fishermen. Met up with Dan and Brett for some post front Striper fishing. We headed out to the first spot and by 9:00am a planner board shot off like a rocket launcher. Brett stuck it to him, and being the nice guy that he is asked me if...

    Foot Oil Screw Stuck

    I tried to change my foot oil thsi weekend but the screw will not loosen. I didnt want to strip the screw, but even with the biggest screwdriver it would slip. I used some wd-40 and other lubricants to help get it off but nothing worked. Anybody have some ideas before I take it to my motor guy?

    My boat wants to porpoise a little when I am buy myself and some what when I have a passenger. I have heard that a hydrofoil will put torque on the transom that it wasnt engineered for. Would smart tabs be a better solution? Thanks, J

    Ran my motor yesterday and it would only plane with one person. This is disappointing because I go with my buddy all the time. I added these planner boards do you think they are slowing us down? Are these older motors just underpowered? My evinrude would plane 2 out at 23mph. 28mph if I was...
