http:// Thanks everyone dropped the boat off last night and am just so eagerly awaiting a phone call to say she is all ready to go! there is nice lake out that way that I have always wanted to fish and just never got around to it. So after I pick it up I am going to bring it over there and check out the work/fish. kill two birds with one stone. I attached a photo of the boat from when I picked it up Friday, installed a garmin striker 5cv up on the bow for now (not in photo). hopefully by this time next year it will have a big upgrade in electronics and a powerpole on the back. did manage to fish our first tournament sunday, finished 10th out of 19 boats, being the only aluminum boat there and our first tournament on a lake that we haven't fished much I was pretty happy with that. only brought in 4 keepers and lost a big one that would have bumped us into the top 5. live and learn excited for the next one....if the boat is every ready! hahttp://

Yeah I'm going to go ahead and bring it in tomorrow hopefully it won't be gone too long and once I get it back it's running like it should. Everyone is human and mistakes happen wether it was on their end or even on mercurys end doesn't matter as long as it's all squared away. The fact it got to the wiener and he called me and was very apologetic goes along way on my thoughts about the place. Just fustrating, especially due to distance

That's the dilemma I am having they were Adimit about bringing it down and leaving it for a few days. I originally thought that they could just mail me a new prop. Is anyone thinking that it could be a issue other then a oversized prop? Getting 2000 rpm below max and reaching that at half throttle worries me. Also it has the 24v trolling motor and 3 battery bank w onboard charger. I'm less then thrilled with the whole situation but trying to not let it bother me too much. Mistakes happen but you would think if it's just a prop issue then I shouldn't have to leave it or even bring it in for that matter. I'm thinking they just want to really go over it and make sure it's on the up and up. Definitely torn on this one hate spending all this money and have this to deal with

Hey everyone first post here but I've been using this forums for info for a while now pulled the trigger And picked up a Lowe stinger 175 on Friday. Saturday breaking in the engine finally got to where I could open her up....man was I not thrilled. at WOT I'm only hitting 4000 Rpms on the tack. Which I am able to hit at half throttle. I take the cover off and the drive shaft does indeed open all the way at full throttle. In neutral it will reach the full rpm spectrum. i call the dealer and the owner calls me back. He is awesome to deal with and feels horrible says whoever set the boat up put way to much prop on it. Tells me to bring it in as soon as I can and they will fix it bring it to a lake and make sure everything is up to par here is my dilemma the dealer is 3 hours away I'll have to drive the boat there leave it and pick it up couple days later when it's done (12 hours driving total) if it is as simple as putting a new prop on it I can order one for less then what I'll pay in gas for taking the boat back. 2016 stinger 175 60 hp mercury 4 cycle command thrust has a spitfire 13" 17 pitch should i suck it up and take it back to the dealer to be fixed or just order a new prop and throw it on myself??
