Fishstix, I received the Sutton 71, thanks so much again, really kind of you. I see it's one of the heavier weight Suttons which I didn't have any of in that size. I look fwd to running it. Will let you know if/when it produces.

Just PM'd you. Thanks!!

I caught some of my biggest fish on a sutton 71 this year.

Yes, I believe all the lakers I caught that day were post spawn.

I got out yesterday afternoon, trolled north up the west side from T Falls. Landed 7 lakers to 8 pounds. Fished 60 - 200 fow, fish hit anywhere from 40-60 ft. down. I ran one line up high, but no takers. All spoons.

Yeah, I hadn't either until recently. I think the figures I posted were the minimum emissions allowed those years. Most of the upper midsize - larger outboards, like yours, had those ratings a bunch sooner.

Les, I found this info that shows when EPA ratings went into effect. 1-STAR (low emission) -- equivalent to EPA 2006 limits - went into effect in 2001 2-STAR (very-low emission) -- 20% cleaner than 2006 EPA limits - went into effect in 2004 3-STAR (ultra-low emission) -- 65% cleaner than 2006 EPA limits - went into effect in 2008 https://www.boattest.com/view-news/5859_what-does-carb-3-star-mean

Hey Les, yes it does say 2006 EPA standards for emissions, but the serial number shows it as a 2000 or 2001. I guess they rated the emissions ahead of the manufacturing date.

It's manual start, and no power tilt/trim but it is significantly lighter than the later models. About 80 pounds. It's a 2000, very low hours don't know exact number. Very clean, runs excellent.

Honda still available.

Any idea what it weighed?

Thanks. My dog mostly just licks the net, haha.

Sorry to hear. Hope she recovers ok and you can get out there. Fish are biting, love this time of year.

How did you do out there? I landed 5 north of Taughannock, lost a few others. 21" LL, 3 lakers, and a 6lb rainbow.

I'm planning on it tomorrow afternoon, out of Taughannock. Launched out of Deans last Saturday, headed south picked up a 4.5lb rainbow & 4lb landlocked, later 5 lakers to 9lbs just north of long point. Good luck!

Great idea. I think we should have a lamprey derby.

Somebody could make quite a horror movie about them springing off outdrives onto anglers necks.

Still available

Beautiful fish, congrats!
