gp

We'll get ya set up there george

The merc starts up every time no probs, but lately it hasn't been wanting to idle at low rpms, believe the carb has become a bit clogged, will take into the shop for spring tune up and go from there..  

Here's my 1986 Champion.

My Pride and Joy - 91 Sprint with 175 Mariner

After looking at all yall's boats all I can say is wow... :o...yall have the boats I have been dreaming of for a long time, kinda makes me ashamed of my beat-up little 14ft. moss-green jon boat with a 10 year old motorguide on it... :-[    

I still love my jonny boat, I just wish I could have a big'ole Triton with a roaring Merc on the back...  

Yea, but you can fish for a year for what I burn on a weekend for gas.  

These big boats do have their drawbacks too.  You also don't need a gas guzzling, full size pickup to haul your's back and forth to the lake.   You can slide your's into any pond or lake around.  Can't slide these big boats anywhere there's not a boat ramp.   So, even if you got one of these big, shiney, fast bass boats, you would still have to keep your old jon, and find you find you would still use it more than the big boat. (after the new wore off the big boat and you got tired of spending so much on gas and oil)

Don't start knocking those old jons, I'm still very partial to mine.  Over the years, that old tin can's probably haul in more fish than all my bass boats combined.

Let's see if I can make this work.  I bought this boat off of Ebay sight unseen.  I've been very pleased so far.

That was so easy I'll do another.

Hey new guy here, nice sight. Here is a picture of my old ride, 99 Skeeter SX 186 with a 150 v-max. Have an 06 Skeeter ZX 225 with 225 v-max on order to be delivered for April can't wait.

Here is my Triton TR20 (if this works).

My digital camera pics are too big for the attachment limit of 150 kb's..i think, lol

Sweet rig Bixbybass. And the Opti 225- I don't know about yours, mine is good on gas, but loves to drink that Merc Optimax 2-stroke oil. But hey, that grimace on your face when buying the stuff quickly turns into a when you drop the hammer. Good fishin' to you from a Ranger owner.  JB

Hey J.Bricker, thanks alot for the comment. Your Ranger is a sweet lookin' ride as well. I love the way the Opti holds onto the gas compared to the EFI.

Thank You J. Bricker.

One of my best buds in High School had the last name Bricker.

Delaware- Must be nice to be able go anywhere and fish for anything.  Nice rig.

Thanks J.............I  looked at every boat on the post and was suprised at how resourceful and creative guys are on here to restore and add features to their rigs.  For example, the 1964 restored boat on the first page.  

Spring is next !  I got the fever real bad this year.
