I need a new sonar/chart plotter combo for the front of my boat, Trolling Motor mounted transducer. Will I appreciate the Lowrance Elite 5 with the chirp technology $250 more than the Elite 5 HDI without Chirp? Cabelas has both with free shipping now but BPS does not have the Chirp units. BPS...

The 80# is on with two new batteries every is great. Thanks for the help. You are all right.

Thanks everyone. I got the 80 with the 60 amp breaker which is what is recommended. My boat is wired with 6 gauge wire. 2 new batteries are ordered and on the way. I should be in business.

I was semiretired for 14 years. That was great since I live on Lake Eufaula, Oklahoma, 10 min and my Nitro is in the water and I'm fishing. However it was not half on or half off. I could not always tell my customers not now and I scheduled work months ahead of time. So at age 68 I fired my last...

I am replacing a MG 71#thrust 1995 model on my '95 Nitro 20' dc with 200 hp. Going to a Minn Kota. the 71 #trust MG moves this boat ok. First, would I be ok with replacing it with a new 70 # or would the 80# be worth the extra money? I'm over hill age wise myself and do not fish tournaments...

That was my first reply/post. Sorry I had a little trouble sorting out to do this. Old dog moment.

Charles I like this set up. I think I'll be needing one on each side for me and my fishing partners. We are all up in years and have trouble just getting up out of the seats. However, I could not help but notice all the extension cords running out of the drop light in the first pic. Have you...

Toxic is right, but one more thing == go easy with the sanding a little goes a long way. I made a makeshift sander out of a large wooden dowel split with sandpaper in the split a screw in the other end, turned by my drill. too much sanding and it will be too loose. I put something around mine...

Outlaw I had an older boat that had two built in aluminum gas tanks. On one tank the motor would run fine for a while a then flutter down to a stop just like it was running out of gas. Because of the high rpms the oil warning would go off too when the motor starved for gasoline. I removed the...

The gas lines were changed before I got this boat. Mini so right you are. Who knows what the guy driving the fuel delivery truck put into the tank that was half full of 10%. Anyway, took the Nitro to the lake today and it ran like a scalded dog. Stopped and fish awhile. On plane again no...

Tox I've had this boat two yrs. It's happen twice, sometime after I first got it and now. Its EFI with always fresh gas and no ethanol since I've owned it. Have never changed the bulb or filters, water pressure is 15 or above and when trying to get on plane the rpm were not max, can't remember...

Retired, Eufaula is my home, life is good. Eufaula, Oklahoma, is not even the best lake in Oklahoma but it

Tox, I can tell you it

Congrads Eric. I too was unemployed once. I must say it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. My life went in a much better direction because of it. I am now 68 and I finally retired from earning money a few months ago. I still have much to do. I am now reinventing my life, again...

Chris, I have always had good service from my batteries especially my Duracells. The last ones, a pair, I ran for seven years. Everytime I came in I charged them immeditely. I always used an automatic charger. In the off season I charged the regularly, especially if it was more than a week...

One more thing. Living in SE Oklahoma on Lake Eufaula I usually fish all year. However in the winter if I'm have to miss a couple of weeks due to bad weather (I'm old and don't take it as well as I once did) I still plug in the charger about once a week and warm them up.

Eric I

upps, sorry I spelled your handle wrong. One look at that big Nitro and bass started swimming in my head.

Basshog40 quit swetting it. You made a good trade. You'll get your money back if you want to. You may not like this boat as a ski boat but so what. Fishing is better anyway especially for a Texas guy. Get a prop for the ski stff. Put a couple of good graphs on this boat, get it on the water and...

cq Iknow just what you mean. I fished 8:00PM to 1:30 AM last night. Beautiful night,bright moon, with a light SE breeze. Everything was perfect except,I should have been looking for golf balls in the moon light. I only managed 2 dinks and a drumb. But it was better than fishing the 100 degree or...
