Welcome.

My wife has been looking for him for years. If she ever gets her hands on him he is one dead "MONKEY"

I grew up on a farm in East Tn. My dad was a farmer and truck driver and these two things meant you had to learn to back trailers & wagons at a very young age. Anyway back to Dad. He is the only person I have ever seen back 2 four wheel wagons together at once. If you think backing a trailer is tough, try backing a farm wagon. Second part of the story is sort of funny. Dad had a Kenworth truck with a V-12 Detroit Diesel with a 20 speed Spicer Trans. split stick (2 shifters) which had 5 forward gears & reverse on the main stick & 4 gears on the aux. which you could shift 4 times for each gear on the main. The thing I enjoyed most was being with him when the banna boats came into the Port of Mobile to load. There would be hundreds of trucks there to load and when Dads turn came up he would pull up as far from the docks as he could, start backing as hard as he could go, changing gears 4 times while going in reverse, people would stop, look & listen to see what in the H--- was going on. Then he would suddenly come to a stop just before the dock and gently back in. It was quite a treet for a kid and if any of you have ever heard a V-12 Detroit scream you know what I am talking about.

Yesterday while at Dick's sporting Goods I found all Berkley Powerbaits were on sale at 5 for $20.00 plus a mail in rebate which made them 5 for $10.00. $2.00 a bag is'nt bad. I stocked up on 7" & 10" green pumpkin & motor oil. Hope this helps you.

Lowrance Elite 7 Chirp Gold & Elite 5 chirp.

It is a high idle lever which was used on many of the older model controls

My first bet would be the livewell system. Second I would check the seal & torque of the engine mount bolts.

Zoom shakey head magnum green pumpkin, a go to bait, I keep one rigged at all times.

1993 Norris Craft 20 XLDVee.200 H.P. Mercury which is a little over stock. It is running a 27 pitch 4 blade prop. I am the second owner of the boat It is well maintained as you can see by the pics. The cap, hull, carpet, seats, and trailer are all original .She still turns heads on the trailer as well as on the water, not bad for a 22 year old boat.

Good looking rig, they do look fast sitting anywhere, but then again most are!!!!!

Teach them young.

I have'nt fished since last fall due to shoulder surgery. Looks like 6 more weeks before I can, right now I would kill for even a bad day of fishing!!!!

Sounds like a good combo, hole shot, good top end, all you need. I agree that fast bullets are not for first timers. I have seen several sold thru the years where first time owners bought bought a fast bullet and got scared to death and sold them. I want to retire in the next year or so and have been watching for someone to do that with an XRS. I spoke with Bill at Bullet a couple of weeks ago and asked him about a dual console XRS. He said they may try it next year. That would be a dream rig for me and my wife as well.

I watched some of those videos again and they really do appear to be a super handling ride.The guys girlfriend either had a lot of guts or no choice to be in there at 110.

I've seen some of the videos of the Strokers. I would love to fish in and drive one. They do look easier to drive than most Bullets & Allisons. One of my biggest things with those boats is I live 2 miles from where Bullets are made, 12 miles from Allison and about 30 miles from Norris Craft. It can be really handy if you need help.
