You bet, I'm a walleye guy, in my world it's how slow you can go, that 4 stroker did both I was impressed!! Now I have a 15hp 2 stroker for a kicker, only because that's what I had. Would I like a 4 stroker absolutely but the $$$ is rediculous in price, plus my motor keeps the mosquitos away!! LOL

I'm with Ifishy, we used to rent 16fter up in Canada they had 20 horse 4 strokers on them, so there was a group 24 battery in the boat to start with. Two grown men two snap-on size tackle bags, our own sonar which we used their battery, 6 gallon fuel cell, there wasn't much room left to land fish, oh ya don't forget my uncles 5 gallon coffee jug and my suitcase style lunch bag, that boat ran 17-19 in waves and 20 plus mph with that Evinrude 20 horse, now I have a 22fter with a 350 with a little extra bolt on Hp. My uncle builds motors for the race circuit and he believes it's around 300hp +or-minus a few ponies and only get 25-28 around 3200 to 3500 rpm. I personally don't think it would be that big of a deal, but if put a 50lbs of potatoes in the trunk and you need 3/4 throttle to pull out, UUH yea I'd be getting more tha VW bug.

LOL King I hate tomatoes but I like them other than raw!! What type of devise is it that these charter guys tow the fish? It has like a claw in the front they tie a rope to it and rope the devise to a rod holder then they go back and the fish is well and alive.

HOLY SHYT man that's not good

You didn't need to comment back, to me I see nothing!! Our local lake just happens to be a state park, so they are real tough of that subject.

That sounds really cool Mike!! We are going to Aruba also this year, I'll have to give this a go.

I didn't know you needed a license to drink beer?? LOL? But I thought you can't drink alcohol either, on account it's a registered motor vehicle, whether car or boat?? That's the first question they ask me when I get checked by fish commission or coast guard, they see I'm goofy enough I don't need beer yet. I prefer a smooth Kentucky Bourbon on the rocks

X2 Jason, see ya at the show!!

I've watched some different shows giving one a birds eye view of what goes on under the water and what man is doing to try to eradicate what invasive species that has just about taken over the lake. Due to greed and unbeknown to folks till it was to late. The Great Lakes are kind of like credit cards, it's so easy for someone to forge your name on a card but it takes your own money and lots of time to rid yourself of the card, sound familiar?? Was so easy to let that ship into the lake, with zebra mussels and gobys, but our money and time to try to keep it at a minimum. Sometimes you just can't fix stupid. I feel if you can put a man on the moon in the late 60's then man had to have known about the Caspian Sea??

I don't understand when folks say they time it by ear or if you put a pointless unit in it, anything over 650 ,rpm the mechanical advance will come into play, and you'll be way to advanced after that, I never rely on dash tach. For my rpm ref. Advancing or retarding the time changes rpm. So you have to be constantly adjusting the idle to stay under the mechanical advance.

Well this might not be the case here, but the large alge blooms on Erie are from this type of activity, fertilizer is fertilizer to me. If in makes green lawns it will make green water. I'm not a fan of fertilizer because I mow my lawn enough the way it is. LOL I would assume you know more than I with a title "TURF" !!!

Interesting Les, I know there is a big brew ha about farming phosphorus, but they fired back stating they use X amount per acre, which shouldn't create an issue. They claim you should look closer at the folks that have property up to the lake, with beautiful green lawns. The farmers claim that lawn care folks whether a small business or a nationally know just say chem-lawn put down 90-100% more phosphorus fertilizer per acre than a farmer 10-15 miles from the lake. You know how those people are if there lawn is green with no dandelion flowers, the neighbors can't be out done!!, so this snowball effect continues before you know it you have major alge blooms as Erie does.

She will lock up taday, 26* and supposed to drop during the day. The rest of the week 50's+ the rest of the week!!!

Thanks for the "heads up" Les, rather learn from here, than with my wallet I'm in favor of most of the rules. Years ago up to the Black Rive dam is 18"s for eyes. Above the dam 15"s, so a lot of lake fish were being caught at 15"s and claimed they were above the dam for most of the day and above the dam Dinks

Yes sir!!!

Hickory & sassafras . sorry couldn't resist.
