  1. Haven't been out to fox grove in years last time it was nasty between all the stray cats and their mess and the homeless and tweakers hanging around no way I would put a boat in there. Come back to a stripped truck.

  3. Like most trash dogs or kids running loose thieves that steal your stuff when your back is turned people bugging me and smoking. I am a bad asthmatic missing half a lung dont help either and if I smell smoke it just about does me in. I have had so called friends quit being friends with me because I do not allow smoking at my house in my house or yard. it triggers asthma attacks. Out in public I do not have much say in the matter except if I take my boat then I do. but when I am fishing on the bank I will ask someone to not smoke while by me or step away farther from me. If it offends some one oh well my health comes first for me then someone wanting to destroy theirs and others with their smoke.
  4. I have a good size garden always have. Weapons well maybe I do maybe I dont. I do not advertise that kind of stuff. Fuel still way to high. Stores to many hoarders and panic buyers. Just be glad when this blows over so I can go back to work again.
  5. Picture from my old boat I have bronchitis so I am not going outside lol.
  6. water and fuel separator is the first thing I put on a boat. and to answer your question no it does not have one from the factory.
  7. i went from a ranger to the heritage kinda wanted to down size it just was not for me nice little boat just to little for me. great boat to get someone on the water.
  8. Saying adios I sold my heritage went back to ranger the heritage was just to small to under powered for my needs. Good starter boat just was not for me. Pretty bad took delivery june 2018 and 18 months later only 27 hours. Just got to be more of a headache for me instead of being a good downsizing for me. Went with the ranger 1880ms. Enjoy your boats. It just was not for me.
  9. An engine mounting bolt/nut torque is recommended to ensure that engines remain secure on the transom. The transom mounting bolts/nuts should be able to hold the recommended torque of the fasteners listed below without the transom yielding or cracking. If the transom yields or cracks under the torque of the transom bolts/nuts, the transom must be strengthened or the load carrying area increased. Always use manufacturer supplied fasteners.8/9.9 FourStroke non‑power trim engine with ¼" bolt7 lb. ft .8/9.9 FourStroke power trim models with M8 bolt10 lb. ft .15 FourStroke with 5/16" bolt25 lb. ft. 25 EFI FourStroke with M8 bolt10 lb. ft .25/30 EFI FourStroke with M12 bolt52 lb. ft.

  10. They say happy wife happy life I say happy wife broke wallet lol She deserved a new car. works her butt off never really asks for anything so since she saw this car fell in love with it so she ended up with it. should of seen salesman face when we paid half price of car in cash lol.
  11. Well the boat shed is enclosed alarmed have camera system in it already. Replaced the sonars battery's tanks did the y valve mod so I don't break the fuel fitting while out on the lake seems to work good ran boat for 30 minutes on muffs. Heading out in near future to go do some much needed fishing. Just dont know how much fishing I get to do this year just bought the ole lady new 2019 corolla hatchback xse paid half down on it. She is stoked to say the least.
  12. dont use the red you will never remove it
  13. Thanks Yea my setup is one of them metal carports enclosed 3 sides. It is on the ide of my house behind a pair of gates the walls are 6 foot tall overall height I believe is 9 foot top of gates is 7 foot so its not seen easily from the street. you can see the top of carport. boat you would have to climb up on fence to see it. Gates are made of square tubing and have two drop rods for bottom going into the ground and a sliding bar with lock on top. I also have cameras all around my house but the issue is it stores data for 10 days and I have no clue when they did this. been looking as much as i can trying to see but nothing so far. Pretty bad I guess I need to check my boat every day. never had this issue before. Called the carport company today going be another grand for enclosing front with a roll up door but its going to happen. then I will have the alarm company alarm the door on it too.
  14. Well I sure hope the idiot that took the batteries gas tanks and sonars put them to good use. Sure wished I knew when they broke in I would look on the cameras and see if I can gt a good picture of them. Guess I will need to have a front put on the front of the carport. It is enclosed 3 sides guess now it will b all 4 sides with a roll up and alarmed. Guess bps I go to get new electronics and tanks.
  15. The lake My picture above is 1,024,600 acres one of the other lakes I fish is 2,030,000 acres another one is 2,400,000 acres And all three of them get to 40+ in depth sometimes get a little rough if it is real windy. Most lakes I wouldn't worry about taking that classic on. Just use common sense you should be fine. Most lakes do offer coves you can duck into if weather gets bad where you can ride it out if the water gets rough. Ive taken my heritage in 3 foot to 4 foot waves just slow down it was fine.
  16. Sure glad it has warmed up lol But hey a little fog never stops me.
  17. fish where you feel comfortable. I fish lakes that are upwards of 450+ feet deep.
  18. They constantly chase off the hummingbirds from the feeders here. Have some kind of little bird make a nest next to one of the outside cameras has 5 babys in the nest I want to try and get a picture of.
  19. Dont know what you used on it but have you tried toon brite? A friend of mine used this stuff called awesome on his boat cleaned all kinds of stuff off his. Don't know if it would clean that. I would think BPS would of taken care of that under warranty being that bad.
  20. I don't have any black marks on my boat. Where are they located at? can you post a picture of it?
  21. Ive had issues with rude boaters rude jetskiers and rude fishermen. January wife and I were fishing a point huge lake and I mean huge guy trolling for trout cuts in between me and the bank I was sitting about 20 feet off the bank. He needless to say hit his tin boat on a rock and dinged it up good cussed me for it I just looked at him and said ok what ever. also the lake has a counter rotation direction he was going clock wise but I was in the wrong etc. I just ignore the rude ones. Also on same day guy in a wake boat wife and I were in a small cove beached in a shallow area eating our lunch idiot almost ran over us. Him and his buddys all laughing. You cant fix stupid. but I have taken videos and wrote down cf numbers and reported to the ranger station on way out. Arguing these days with the me me me generation can be deadly and not worth it. Ones that get me more then on the water is prepping their boats on the ramp when there are staging areas to do that or the ones that litter. One day idiot threw his beer bottle on the ramp and broke it another guy made him pick up the pieces lol. Think that guy got a lessen that day. The guy that made him clean it was off duty Merced country sheriff lol
