Yeah you certainly dont want to hammer down in shallow water, that makes the back end dip down deeper. So if im idling thru 4 to 5 ft water and bump a stump will it damage the prop or do you have to be going a little faster than idle? I have an aluminum prop

Still got to get the wife to download the pics to the computer at home. I dont know how cause i have never done it before. I will try to get her to do it tonight. My wife just laughs at me cause i go into the garage at least 3 times a day to look at the boat wishing it was the weekend already...

Thats true maybe i will stick to 5ft or deaper water with the big motor and troll through anything shallower than that. I do need to get an oar, i thought about that after having to pull a guy in that same day who ran out of gas. He was trying to paddle his way in to the ramp but in wasnt...

I finally after 2 years of looking found the boat for me. Its kinda funny though cause its the first one i looked at 2 years ago, but i kept second guessing myself instead of going with my gut instinct. Its a 2009 Tracker Pro Team 170 TX with the 50hp Merc. I took it out Sat for a test drive...

Well, the lake i will probably fish the most is around 2000 sq acres and only has a couple of ramps that i know of. The other lake i might go to every once in a while is a 25,000 sq acre lake and it has many boat ramps up and down the lake so i could always to the ramp that was closest to the...

I have seen many posts on different forums about guys griping about gas prices with their big 200, 250, and 300hp motors and some even getting rid of their boats and going to smaller rigs to cut down on gas useage. I have been looking at boats with 90hp max ratings and 50hp max ratings. I have...

Thanks for the replies and the explanations guys.

Oh no, im sorry bassboy1, my message was confusing. I didnt mean that anyone would want to use Pressure Treated plywood in a boat. I was just comparing the longivity of marine grade plywood to pressure treated plywood in defense that i dont see how marine grade wood would become damaged in less...

Im in Joshua, TX and i also grew up there. Its about 20min south of Fort Worth. This is a great site! I had someone in another forum tell me about this site about a month ago. Most other boating and fishing sites only have people talking of offshore rigs or fiberglass boats and im in the...

So the "performance hull" i am refering to, is called a pad hull?

So would you see a difference since they both are rated at 90hp even if one of the blocks has a smaller displacement?

Maybe the "Revolution Hull" is Trackers version of the performance hull design. Thanks for the quick reply Waterwings

If you were to be able to choose a new 4stroke outboard in the 90hp class and you could choose either a Mercury or a Yamaha, which one would you choose and why? Both of these brands have matching warranties as far as time frame goes. The only other difference is that the Yamaha F90 weights...

I have read on many forums about some aluminum bass boats having "performance" style hulls like a fiberglass bass boat would have. I have been told that Triton's Magnum series bass boats and Xpress' H series bass boats (H51,H17,H18,etc.) have these performance type hulls on them. I was also...

Thanks for the replies guys. I see that some people are giving weight specs on 1/4 and 1/2 inch plywood. Is this Marine Grade Plywood that you are talking about? I have had plenty of experience using plywood and pressure treated plywood, building in many different applications. Regular plywood...

I think i will be able to make the marine wood last. I will keep it covered all the time. I guess Alumacraft knows what they are doing. I hear they have been popular boat builders since the 1950s.

the lowe brand boats say to be all welded all metal boats but thats all i know of

Wow! I didnt know that many people did deck modifications to their boats. Well i have always heard that marine grade plywood was some pretty tough stuff but the stories i heard about it, werent used on boat decks. I used to work at Home Depot and we would have people coming in the store asking...

I want to know your opinions of marine grade plywood decks compared to aluminum decks. I understand that even marine grade plywood can go bad and flimsy if not taken care of. If a boat with marine grade decks is kept covered when not in use and not taken out in the rain all the time, will they...

have you fixed that lugging problem under 4000rpm? Are you getting recommended maximum rpms at WOT?
