New to the board

[Robert Hinton]

Found out about the sight today from some Nitro owners that I know from another board so I dropped in to say hi.

I have a Nitro 640LX that I just put a Different motor on. I went from a 50 to a 90. Im loving the way she runs. Finally got to open her up with just me 3/4 tank a gas and all my gear and hit 55. She started chinewalking like crazy though so I trimmed her back. I have a Jackplate on her set to 1 1/2" above pad measuerd at the cav plate. So my next step is to start jacking her up and see if the speed goes up and the chine walk goes away. Cant wait to post with yall and shoot the bull.

 

[Mike Simard]

Welcome fellow 640 lx owner ! I have a 99 with a 90 merc and I love it! what year is yours? what pitch prop do you run? Welcome aboard!

 

[Robert Hinton]

Boat is a 04 engine is a 05. I have a LazerII 22 on it turning 5500 RPMS WOT right now. Probally get some more RPMS when I start jacking her up.

 

[Barry Loos]

Welcome aboard Mike. The jackplate will help but keep an eye on the chine walking during your adjustments because we'd hate to lose you so soon.

Its all RedSkeeters fault. Switch on his trolling motor went bad and started smoking. If he hadnt unplugged it when he did would have had a fire. I didnt know how to get back on my own so I followed him back. But I know now. Just say when and that meal is yours. Still trying to figure out where I know KB from. Wanted to talk to him and Toxic some more.

 

[Casey Campbell]

Welcome FM,



Can't help you much with the set-up myself, but drop anchor and keep that line in the water, it'll come.



Congratz on that new motor, and again, welcome.

[Ken Wise]

watch the water pressure as you go up with the motor put a guage on it if you don't have one now also welcome aboard Ken

 

[Robert Hinton]

I have one but need to install it. No room on the dash for one so I dont know where to put it.

 

[Robert Hinton]

No trim guage. All I have is the basics. Voltage, speed, RPM, and Fuel. THink it is flat enough to mount next to voltage or fuel. Just have to get the Kahunas to drill a whole in the dash.

 

[Bill Johnson]

Welcome FM!!!.....Bting thaqtq Nitro over to the Garagemahal and we'll put some holes inner an gitrdone!!...lol...

 

[Robert Hinton]

[Greg Meyer]

Welcome aboard...



Just keep coming back despite the abuse...

 

[Mark Hofman]

I only have one thing to say about this board and some of the people who frequent here...



RUN!!! Run away while you still can!!! This place is addictive.



But seriously now, welcome. Hope you have as much fun and enjoyment here as I do.

 

[Texas Transplant]

Not sure I'd want to go out on Santee in a 640. Please remember that this is a BIG WATER reservoir - and if you are not familar with Santee, you can really get in trouble on this lake(s) - it's very shallow with a zillion stumps that love to eat prop's.



Get with WildBill and he will take care of you.

[Robert Hinton]

I have fished Santee before. Actually just fished it in Oct 30. We had the BBC Rally Tournament thier. I would probally fish the River in my boat. Or trailer up to and fish the cowpasture and angels cove.
