Huge Sale
I have alot of tire tracks in the soft ground in my yard, would she be good for rolling them flat? Does she come with an extension handle? If so, i'm willing to give you what your asking, plus a banana.

This Is Why You Should Use A Kill Switch Lanyard
Its a sad story, but at the same time, he obviously didn't take any safety precautions. No PFD or kill switch lanyard is just an accident waiting to happen. Hell, I even use a lanyard on my 9.9.

Suspended For Nra Tshirt
The school celebrates May 5th, so its ok to wear mexican flag attire and wave their flags. But you are right, if you ban one you have to ban it all, you cant pick and choose. Maybe the school should take care of the gang problem first, worry about what they wear after.

Suspended For Nra Tshirt
Gand related or not, IMO its not right. You dont ban your countires flag in favor of another country. Period. This is America, not Mexico. I bet you they dont ban Mexican flag shirts on July 4th, because if they did the Mexicans would be screaming they dont get any respect and they arent treated fairly.

Suspended For Nra Tshirt
Im gonna have to disagree with you on this one. NY is almost as bad as California. The media has made it so that anything to do with guns or the NRA is like devil worshiping. The schools have gone overboard on what kids are getting in trouble for, from finger guns to bubble guns. Hell, one school in California has banned american flag tshirts one the so called mexican "independence day". How do you ban your own countrys flag in support of another country?

Trying A New Soft Plastic, Not That Any Of Them Work In The First Place
^^This^^If you want to become better with something, say soft plastics, then you need to dedicate the time to learn them. Take one or two days, and just fish plastics. Leave everything else at home. This will force you to learn plastic technique's, as you won't be able to switch right back to old faithful when you aren't catching anything. There is no doubt in my mind that this will make you a better plastic fisherman and you WILL catch fish. Trust me, it worked for me and jigs.

Who Knows Props?
That 5130 is at normal load with me and another person. I very rarely fish alone, so there will be 2 people in the boat 99% of the time. Thanks for the advise
-
Who Knows Props?
I agree with you on that, but im not looking for big motor performance. What I am looking for is to get the best possible performance out of what I have. Thats why im trying to figure out the best pitch prop for my setup.
-
Who Knows Props?
Yeah, I have decided not to go stainless. I was wondering though if maybe I should get a 4 blade prop, to help the boat get on plane. Im wondering if I drop a pitch and go to a 4 blade if I would lose speed, im pretty sure I wouldnt gain any.

Hello From Massachusetts
Welcome to the site, im right next door if you need to borrow some sugar or a power tool.

Who Knows Props?
Its a 9.25x9 aluminum now, turning 5130 rpms. This is the only rpm I have ever known it to turn, but the prop is in rough shape. The motor is a 1987 and it looks like the original prop. I cant raise the motor either, the water intake is on the bottom side of the cavitation plate and its even with the bottom of the boat now. Also, using a slip calculator, it tells me im getting 24% slip which seems high to me.

Small Outboards
They are brand new, like $3700 or so I beleive. I have the same boat with a yamaha 9.9. If you are looking at new, I would check out the Suzuki 20hp. Its fuel injected and it only weighs 106lbs.

Sunline Fluorocarbon
I have used the regular Super, its comparable to other fluoro in the same price range. Nothing special about it really. I really like the Super FC Sniper. Its the best fluoro I have ever used.
-
Small Outboards
Its neat that it has power trim, but its really just a 25 with 15 stickers on it. Plus it only comes in a 20" shaft. I would still like to have one though.
-
Who Knows Props?
I would believe that, had I not personally seen it make improvements on 3 other 9.9 outboards.
-
Who Knows Props?
The aluminum prop on my 9.9 needs to be replaced. I'm thinking of going to a SS prop. Currently at WOT I'm turning 5130rpms, 16 mph at full load. The rpm range for my Yamaha is 4500-5500. I would like to see some more top speed, but I'm wondering if I will actually lose speed going down in pitch on an as prop? Or should I just go up in pitch with another aluminum?

How Close Is Too Close?
I was fishing a tourney one time, and someone beat me to the spot I wanted. It was a rock pile that came out of the water about 100 yds off of an island. So I decided to fish the island, and I started catching fish. Well this guy sees me, starts to drift towards me. Now, I haven't moved any more than 10 ft, when I look and he is about 40 yds away and starts yelling at me to give him some room. Really?! Hey buddy, I haven't moved. You came towards me. Ever since that day I had a few more run ins with the guy on the water. So I quit that club the next year, and tried to go back and fish with them a few years later. Now most of the guys in that club are nice guys, but not this jerk. He made a huge stink about me wanting to fish again, so the club banned me.
