your stuck on that 70mph thing pep...what happens if I operate the boat at 50mph...does this still classify me as a moron....I have been in numerous bass boats operating at running speeds well above 50mph..I asked questions regarding buying a boat not operating one...RUNNING THE MOTOR..ETC I persaonally have never been in a tournament that have rules requiring the boater to run 70mph...and do you have a Triton bass boat?

I have placed a deposite on the boat..I have scheduled to pick it up Oct 7th...I am buying it thru Anglers choice...VA...I am located in southern Indiana..I will be fishing Patoka, Monroe and ohio river..probably fish kentucky lake tournament.s .only 3 hrs from home. I am looking to join a tournament series..looking at tackle supreme team...USA BASSIN...FISCHER OF MEN...are you a member of a club or tournament series. If you have any insight on a good club or affiliation let me know.. Thanks, Chrism Were you located?

Cravenfish....I agree...some peps use these forums as a platform, not to help but be negative.....and they are designed for just the opposite... I really appreciate the insight from the rest of the guy's. Thanks, Chrism

Your a troublemaker....you must be a pre maddona! High performace is in the eye's of the beholder..The questions I ask don't relate to driving a bass boat...but buying one...I have my pilots license and fly planes...I quess that not high performance....Is it high performance if I run the boat at 50 mph.... I'm buying the boat to fish out of not race!...I have never scene a bass swiming 70mph...lol..

I have spoke to many boat owner's now and they all say the same thing...Outboard motors run very well if TAKEN CARE OF. so again I will take my chances... you must have had some bad outboard experience!! Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info guy's...I have found alot of good reviews on the yamaha vmax...seems like motors are about like anything else..if you take care of them they will last! I was wrong on the warranty price...its 2000.00 for 2 years...but its only 1800-2000 for a new powerhead so I will take my chances...

Hey guys' I have a few questions about purchasing a boat...I am in the process of buying a 2003 triton tr-19 with a Yamaha 200 VMAX 3.1 liter on it. How many hrs are to much for a 2003? What should a BUYER BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR? Should I have the dealer run the motor for me onsite? I have read alot of good reviews regarding the 200 vmax....and is it worth buying a 2 year warranty for the motor...roughly about $600.00? Thanks, chrism-rad
