    I'm Back

    Yes, it has the vinyl instead of the carpet. Took it out Saturday morning for the "break in". Tried to fish, but very windy. This is my third boat and the first time in my life that I forgot the damn drain plug!!! The bilge needed rinsed out anyway! Most of the places that I go around here...

    I'm Back

    I've been boatless, or vessel impaired, or...,since I sold my Nitro 185 Sport around 10 years ago. I was a Nitro Tracker Owners member in the early 2000s. Guess I still am. I am picking up my 2016 Pro 175 TXW with a 60 this Friday. Just wanted to say, hey! Hope I like tin as much as I liked...

    Nitro 185 FS Sending Unit Issue

    I had a 1999 185 Sport that had a problem with the sending unit when I bought it. I got them to repair it under warranty, but you are correct, (and I could not believe it, either) there is no access to the fuel tank! They had to cut or drill an access hole (in to my brand new boat)to get at the...

    Wierd Plastix

    I've caught several bass with my flying lures. They do work under docks and along weed lines. I still have a "sonic Vibrabat lure that I ordered out of a fishing magazine in the mid 70's. It is a silver spoon type of contraption with a trailing tandem set of hooks and vibrates vertically when...

    What prop?

    I checked that, they only go back to 2000 and they don't list 75hp as an option.

    HELP!! i hit a skunk

    Skunk Remedy: One quarter cup baking soda; one quart 3% hydrogen peroxide; one teaspoon liquid dish soap. That's it! A chemist named Paul Krebaum invented it several years ago. It works chemically by emitting large amounts of oxygen therefore oxidizing the odor causing theols. He attempted...

    "New" Tow Vehicle - '00 Dodge??

    I have a '99 Dakota 4x4 with the 5.2. 62000 miles not one problem. I tow a 185 Sport 300-400 miles a month. I get 11-13 mpg when towing at 55-60 mph. Mileage drops rapidly if you have a heavy foot (and I DO). My understanding is that they no longer offer that motor. It has been replaced by...

    Attn: Rob the Fish & Ski Man

    I've never had a problem with it up there. I wish I could get you a picture but I don't have a digital camera or access to a scanner. If you have any questions or problems let me know. ROB

    Fish Finder Mount on Fish & Ski Models

    I have a 185 SPORT and mounted an older H'bird (Wide Eye, I think) in front of the windshield on the driver's side. I can see it fine through the windshield and I can reach it without too much problem through the opening between the windshield and the frame. I can also swivel it around and use...
