Re: Hey its lonesome here, I know thiers more of us

I bought a used 2000 year 1872 with side console and 115 merc been working on setup this spring. First thing I did was put a front plastic gas tank (18gal) and 2nd battery up front.

Re: Hey its lonesome here, I know thiers more of us

James, I bet that thing will scoot along, you sure aint HP short. My boat is a 50 hp. I love its ability to fish hard for 2 days on one 18 gal tank of fuel. It runs around 30mph. My max hp rating is 90, I bought a 88hp to put on it but fuel consumption was to high for some of the lakes I fish, No fuel on the water.

Re: Hey its lonesome here, I know thiers more of us

It does go, but there were issues of "ventillation" when turning. Never had problems with my deep-V boats like this. <br />Dont like to allways remember to trim in. Was working on props (adding cup and trying different ones) and decided to just repower.<br /><br />Put a new 90hp merc 4-stroke on this week. Plan to water test next few days.I put AV plate on motor 1/4 inch below bottom.<br /><br />Love the way this boat "smoothes" thru water-no wake hardly at all! Corners w/o sliding too.<br /><br />Need docking lights and none of the factory hull lights work with the mod-Vee so design/build my own. Working on the "pop-up" running light concept.<br /><br />Also added water separator/filter.

I bought a mv2472 with a F150 with Mercury 25 kicker. I just love it. I have the 25hp for coffeen lake in Coffeen IL of coarse. But I thought I would jump in and get me feet wet.

Is the 24 footer too big?

I need one for wife and kids, like the deeper hull on the boat, and what type of electric trolling motor would you recommend for a boat that big?
Thanks

Re: Hey its lonesome here, I know thiers more of us

I bought an outlaw 170 a week ago but havent been able to try her out yet. Been trickin her out a little. Got the boat with a 75 etec and really want to see what she will do.
Odd thing is, I bought her from a dealer that had stopped selling sea arks three years ago and this one the only one left. Never titled either the boat or motor. Along with that came a reasonable price...very reasonable. Let ya know how she dose once the weather get s better. Charlie

I also own a sea ark, a zx180 2001 model. It has a 90hp johnson on it, I purchased it 2004. It has been a very good boat. I also see that it looks like they are building the same boat again they call it a stealth now but it looks very close to the same.

Mine is a 20 ft. with a 90 HP Yamaha 2 stroke. It gets a lot of use in saltwater.

Hey Sea Ark, what motor is that? Did you get it fixed yet?

Re: Hey its lonesome here, I know thiers more of us

I'm in denial that I found this one. I think there are only a couple in Iowa. Some days you do find something twice as good that costs half as much. All's I've got is a test drive so far and there's a chance of snow this weekend. Go indian summer!
