You might try the Alberto's knot. It is smaller than the Albright.

2500 Or 3000 Stradic Ci4+/rod
I have 2 2500s on Avid rods. They make a good combination for fishing plastics and light spinnerbaits either with braid or mono.

Table Rock Lake
Some of the big girls will have finished by then and may be hanging around cedars. A Zara Spook can call some big ones up it things are right.

Getting Paint Off Gel Coat
Acetone won't harm the gel. I use it a lot on my boat. I'd try a small area with it and see how it works. You may need to use rubbing compound and a buffer to get everything off and shining again.

Need Help Picking A Boat
If you are serious about a Nitro, call Pro's Choice Marine in Warsaw MO. They are the largest Nitro dealership and often sell for several thousand less than any other place. You may be able to save enough to justify the trip to pick it up there. I just looked at their web site and saw 3 Z7s all for under 30 large and that is before any haggling. http://www.proschoicemarine.com/

If it is the same problem you shouldn't have to pay twice, but it may be something totally different.

Parking Boat In Slip Long Term
I used to keep an alum. in a dock on Bull Shoals for 3 months each year. It was so nasty and I had to pack all my stuff back and forth. I'd never do it again.

Boat Cover Cleaning Techniques?
I just use an RV brush and regular soap and water. I do it while it is on the boat.

Baitcaster Accuracy Help
The only thing I'd add here is to focus all of your attention exactly at a spot and make your cast to it not in the general direction. That is critical especially when fishing around brush where pin point accuracy is a must.

Tractor Battery For Electronics
More than likely it would work depending on what size it is. Is it from a regular tractor or a lawn tractor?

Buck Tail Jigs
I've used them in all kinds of water clarity. I do, however, have a large variety of colors from which to choose but I really like blue/white in any color of water.

Would You Buy This Boat
There is only one real way to tell and that is to take each boat for a test ride so you can see how well you like them. If they won't give you a ride, don't buy. If you decide on the Tracker you might give Pro's Choice marine in Warsaw MO. They are the largest tracker dealer and they usually have prices below anywhere else you can find. Guys have told me that they have saved as much as $5000 on a new Nitro.

What's Your Go To Deep Water Bait?
None of the above. Deep for me is a jigging spoon.

Try the MUD HOLE. I think they may have one. If I remember it is item 3183 but I'm not certain.

Tow Vehicle?
A bit pricey but I think the Jeep Cherokee in Diesel would tow anything. My wife tows my Champ with a Jeep Liberty CRD.

Mercury Overheat Alarm Problem
I had the same issue as Mike on my Optimax. It turned out to be the upper tank causing the alarm. I replaced it and everything was good to go.
