I just reelized this extra forum was on the site, so how many of us are there and what skeeter do you own?
That was my last boat, only it had an evenrude 75 on it. It would darn near do 50 MPH with me alone.Originally posted by mercury89:<br /> Mine is a 1984 SS-1 fisherman. 15 footer with a 75 horse merc. Pretty fast boat for its size.
Presently its the boat in my avitar.<br /><br />1987 Bass Tacker 1800FS W/Merc 150, it tickles around 60 MPH depending on prop and conditions. Im thinking of upgrading next year maybe. Now that Im doing some guiding, I need more room and a single console. Ill go 19-20 at least. mid to late 90s probably, and Im thinking Triton Ranger, Skeeter or Stratos. Unless SBN wants to make me a deal on his new boat.Originally posted by mercury89:<br /> What boat do you have now LubeDude?
Looks like your Bass Tracker is really well setup from the picture in the avatar, nice rooster tail and the planing angle is really good.87 Bass Tacker 1800FS W/Merc 150, it tickles around 60 MPH depending on prop and conditions.
I had an awesome time last year, got started late but all in all in was great. Much more "FUN" than I thought it would be. Im really looking forward to it again this year. I already have a few bookings, some professional ball players, and some returning people as well.<br /><br />I swear, I should have paid some of my clients instead of them paying me. It seems that Cops are the best, they are ready to relax and have fun, they have some incredible "Dumb Crook" stories. Surprised me how many women I had also.<br /><br />Funny, when I decided to do the guide thing I didnt even think about tips, They range from $20.00 to as much as $100.00.<br /><br />I figure I about broke even last year which isnt bad for about 5 months. Might actually make a bit of profit this year.<br /><br />Sure is hard on equipment though, espesialy the boat, Carpet was good when I started, its got holes in it now.<br /><br />Ya, those big guys are a hand full, and they are clumbsy. I had one guy fall partway off the dock before he even got into the boat.Originally posted by aspeck:<br /> <br />LD, how is the guiding going?
