BALLER........

My thoughts exactly. That model may have a swing away tongue that will give you a few more feet. Otherwise they make aftermarket kits to install the swing away tongue for around $75 http://www.trailerpartsdepot.com/Items.asp?CC=A-TONGUS

First, welcome to the site. With that setup you may not even get on plane with only a 9.9 and a load of gear and passengers. Always go big or go home when it comes to motors in my opinion. You will never hear a fisherman say "I have too much power" I am sure others will chime in on this topic but I think most would agree that you will need more HP to accomodate a full load. Have you consisered a used boat? You may be able to get a similar setup with more HP for the same price. Here are some great articles about boat and motors that may help your decision http://www.bassresou...com/bass-boats/

I use penzoil but depending on the year of your motor you may want to stay with the recommended brand. Especially if there is still a warranty clause

Great Post!! Hilarious..... BTW, that picture of the two guys holding a bunch a pigs made me feel funny...

Welcome Back CATT!!!!! Good to see your semi-connected again.....

funny

In a previous thread I mentioned that I almost ripped off my lower unit on a submerged log/stump. After hearing that my insurance would cover the cost I got to looking at my policy and noticed that the motor amount is covered for 8K. Boat is a 96 and so is the motor. Thinking worst case scenerio what is the cost of a new 150? I have never even looked at pricing of the motor before without the boat attached. Any info on a used or new would be great. Thanks all

Hey Doc, I have been having this sharp pain in my %^$%& lately and I can't seem to fix it with home remedies. Do you have anything to cure baitmonkey-itis??? :)

Thats the odd part. It did nothing to the prop, not a nick on it. I run a stainless but I don't think it even came into contact with the object

HAHAHA Please refer to the Man Rule thread for the latter

Welcome to the site. Most boats should have a small plaque located on the stern. Mine happens to be on the starboard side of the motor. Do you have any owners manuals? I am assuming you are not the original owner.

sometimes I'll belly up right next to a guy in an empty bathroom and start singing show tunes, just to amuse myself........ "I get no kicks from champagne" :Idontknow: LMAO!!!!!!!!

Reminded me of a time long ago when I had consumed a "few" too many. Went to the mens room to break the seal and as I am bellied up some dude comes and breaks the "RULE". Just about that time, my buddy walks in and says jokingly "Hey Fritter, did the blisters go away yet?" The guy next to me almost went on his leg and I nearly fell over trying not to laugh.... good times

Just got off the phone with State Farm. $250 dedeuctible and the rest is paid for. Hopefully, the damage won't be too severe. Although a new 150 optimax would be sweet LOL

Yesterday was a beautiful day. Air temps in teh mid 70s, water temps around 50, and just a perfect day to make my 2012 maiden voyage. Perfect, right up until I almost ripped off my lower unit on a stump or log going 50 mph across the lake. It busted my skeg in half and cracked the housing halfway around the prop. Not sure if it did any damage to the internal parts. I'll take a few pics to post. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER....... Question: Is this something covered under the boat insurance? I have never had this happen before so any info is greatly appreciated. BTW, engine is a 96 Johnson 150

In my opinion, saying OG has good Italian is like saying McDonalds is a good quality hamburger. You go there cause its convenient, not because your craving great Italian food.

Was actually at the boat ramp yesterday to check if the docks were in yet. Watched a husband and wife lauching their boat. The wife, actually, was in the boat Yelling at the husband on his technique. So much so that she made him pull up the ramp and kicked HIM out of truck while backing the boat in by herself... I was laughing hysterically and thinking "this must be opposite day at the ramp" My wife wanted to get out and hug the lady

REDS TIGERS I'm calling it now

I just spewed coffee on myself after reading this thread. I did get stabbed with a Lawn Dart when I was a kid.. Stuck right in my stomach. That was back when they were heavy and metal with pointed tips. Good parenting mom and dad, let the kids throw spears at each other.. LOL

I'm a big Berbatov fan. Smooooth..... Then again, you can't even argue the greatness of Messi (sp?)

Taylor Swift isn't undatable she is unattainable which makes her attractive. Poor schlubs like us will never get close In all seriousness, I thought I read or heard that Tebow was ***?? No, I am not trying to start a whirlwind of controversy I swear I actually heard it somewhere. I love Tebow. I think he is great for the sport and has shown that it is OK to be a christian and succeed. I could care less what he does in his private life. That is HIS business
