Look at Gerald swindle one of his sponsers is hair care products!!!

Ok, here ya go, As far as dependability..Both will give you good dependability...but I can tell you one thing That I see in the 150 calls I take a day is the primary reason for most failures are...FUEL, Water Pressure, and most of all INPROPER SET UP... Now, as far a Yamaha and Mercury...We supply and have supplied the following motors..F75-F115 and F200-F225..The contract will be up in April 2006 and at this point there will be no negotiations..We have realized what kind of business practices they have and I believe we dont and wont go down that road. They stated that we are hurting their business and the industry but they turned around and bought a couple thousand transoms with the purchase of Lund, Lowe, and Crestliner, then Triton. Now, I have a question...How did we hurt them so bad that they went out and spent millions of dollars to buy these transom...I just dont understand..heck when I an financiaaly strained I cant buy anything... Thank You, Eagle

Ok THis is were I am going to shine..I work for Yamaha /Marine Service ... Yamaha owns G3 and Skeeter. We are all one big happy corporation.

Fuel Economy = Four-Stroke....I would go with a 80 to 100 hp fourstroke...They got the power to get this thing up...If you have to go with something a litle smaller and less expensive go for the Yamaha T60. High thrust motor that I know will do well for you also.

Well, I lived in Foley, Al till Ivan decided it wanted my house more than I did...Now , I am in the Mountains of Georgia, Adairsville, Ga...I am about 45 minutes from Lake Weiss, 1hr 20 minutes from Lake Guntersville, I also fish locate PFAs (public Fishing Areas) and have had some reel good luck. Talk to yall later, Tight Lines Eagle...aka Greg

Ok I am done trying to explain this to yall...I suggest you do some research on MArine Battery Isolators...Cause obviously you dont know. an isolator does just that isolates each battery from each other...They will not take charge from one another..an isolator is like a switch...It senses which battery needs a charge then charges it and then switches to the next.

Well, ok I work for a manufacturer and it is not reccommended, I informed him of the way we reccommend it being hooked up and yes your right they are normally hooked that way, but that does not mean it is right.

I would run and isolator in the boat..this will let you use one alternator source to charge 2 batteries that way you wont have to worry baout your starting battery going dead.

You dont need to hook everything to the starting battery either....Most manufacturers do not recc that..you may need to install a second battery and depending on what motor you are running you can run an isolator lead from the motor to the aux battery....If you run everything off your cranking battery you take a chance of running it low and then what are ya going to do..the motor wont start and trolling motor running low..i guess you can always row your way in....
