Thanks didn't know they made a bigger box. I will have my buddy from ASB Tackle order it for me. Thanks Again

Yes they will, I have my 8" Echip boards stored in those boxes as well. I wish they would make one for the 11" boards cause man what a pain the file though a box every time.

It's ok to rebut my statement but it's just a fact of my situation being I have experience not only with my current boat but every boat I have owned and my father owning a 42' Fountain which he raced so props have been a thing I have dealt with. In my experience with the 4 blade is that one the blades are smaller than a 3 blade which means they cut the water faster and raise your rpm's. I can run a Mercury, Yamaha and an OMC prop all in the same pitch and diameter and have different results in all of them. But when you go from an aluminum prop to stainless is where you see the biggest difference cause stainless doesn't give or flex like aluminum does. Maybe it's the motors I have run 4 blades on, they just gave my experience something different. I know on my bass boat with a 250 Yamaha HPDI when I put a 4 blade on I lost 12 mph but gained a snapping hole shot and so did my buddy with his Mercury. Now with my 3 blade I can run almost 80 mph flat out but get really squirrelly and start chime walking due to the grab and trimming out. The 4 blade I run 68-70 and do t chime walk at all plus it was good in rough water cause it wouldn't cavitate. The port holes on stainless props make a difference as well. Some boats need all jokes plugged and other will blow the plugs out. I guess it's the way some boats are designed. My dad runs custom Michigan Speed props in 4 blade and gets up to 90mph. Maybe there are other factors I am no expert but just have some experience that's why I. My original post I said to calm a prop shop and they will guide you for what's right for your motor.

Well this is a field I have plenty of experience. First off changing from a 3 blade to a 4 blade will not get you more speed. 4 blades were designed for the hole shot and control while sacrificing some top end. The 3 blade is a bit less control but more top end. I have 2 Evinrude E tec's and played with props to get them dialed in with speed versus rpm's. This is gonna be based on diameter of the prop, pitch and how much cup is in each blade. I only run stainless props cause they don't flex like aluminum so you will get a true gauge as to what your motor can handle. With my Evinrude's I also run 2 Mercury Props in a 19pitch which gives me the best top end, control and keeps my rpm's right at the comfort level of the motors. My boat will run 48 mph fully loaded with 4 people and the boat is 25'. I would try a stainless prop and see what the manufacturer recommends or ask a prop shop what they would start with. I went through 3 sets before getting them dialed in.

Yes sir they did the same thing with Bagleys when they bought them. Discontinued for a while and then sold the right to another company.

I don't use the break away cable. Instead I use the downriver snubbers make by Amish Outfitters. Had them on for 2 years so far and not a single problem. You want some sort of give for when your lowering and raising the ball so that decreases the chances of the cable breaking.

There is a launch at Hemlock on east side both off 15A at north end and south end. They are just your basic dirt ramps also nothing fancy there. Just follow dirt roads to the end and you will see

Not off hand I don't but I would think its gonna be near 70+ and the water level is very high due to the rain they have gotten lately

No launch there. The launch is half way down easy lake rd at McPherson Pt. and yes there is a fee to launch. I believe $6 during the week and $8 on weekends

Very nice to see some bigguns still hanging around with the flip flopping of temps out there

Big Wheenie makes whole bait heads. The actually run decent also. All in the Same Boat tackle in Newfane (Olcott) carries them. Also known as ASB Tackle. You can find them on Facebook and he will ship them as well.
