Lots of grades of SS some rust some don’t.
I never knew trailer bearings are available in SS. I’ve never pulled a rusty bearing out but I’m not on salt water.
I’m just greasing my old bearings because they seem too be ok and I’m afraid of the quality of new ones.
My ff tracks total time turned on. I have a log book with total hours. And all maintenance and new boat gear.
Is that 23 days on the water? If so that’s about 35m per trip. That’s a lot. How do you find towing that wide of a rig?
Probably the safest way I’ve moved a boat was with roof racks.
A boat on a trailer that is narrower than your tow vehicle is great.
What are you towing?
Super fisherman with a 60” shaft. 45lb.
I took it off because it was broken and it is really hard to see over the bow.
The high bow boats aren’t very good for bow mounts. Hard to see over and the high hull catches a lot of wind.
I tried a 30 lb thrust on the stern and that wouldn’t push...
Every time you buy a boat it’s a gamble.
But you want to give money without seeing the boat ? That’s nuts.
I just bought a boat with one hour of inspection by me and no sea trial. Didn’t run the engine. Once my inspection showed the value matched the price I paid I didn’t care about...
If the wave is higher then your boat is long head to shore. lol.
4’ waves in a 14’ boat is about max for me. I stop Downrigger in 3’ers because it puts too much pressure on my gunnels.
In a Lund Barron 6’ers are no problem.
I heard a story that the charters head for port when waves are...
What’s the weight of a 140hp Suzuki?
Or what’s the lightest engine in 100 to 150hp.
I’d take a 360lb 125hp engine over a 480lb 150hp. You have to check the different brands.
That said some boats need max hp.
I think the ff come on sale in the spring when new models come out.
I paid regular price for a Bimini top and a set of cannon tracks for my rod holders.
I can’t find any good deals.
My boat engine didn’t have a tilt pin so I was looking online to find one. I was pondering what one to get and I see they are about $30.
I decided to go for a walk up the road and I spot a piece of SS rod. I put it in the hole and it’s a perfect dia. And already has a bend on one end. I...
