    An Altitude Question

    It seems to me a straight forward calculation of rpm’s and pitch, (all other variables being the same). If 3000rpm’s renders 30mph at sea level wouldn’t 3000rpm’s render the same speed at 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, etc. feet of elevation?

    An Altitude Question

    This is an altitude question. With all variables other than altitude being the same, ie boat, weight, trim angle, prop, weather, humidity etc… If @ 5400rpm my speed is 50mph at sea level wouldn’t my speed be the same at 5000ft if I were able to achieve 5400rpms?

    200 Opti Pro XS won't trim high enough.

    Why would you need more is it a merc. thing that they dont trim out that far or is it your transom flexing too much to get your bow up? I don’t know what it is (disregarding the flexing transom comment, assuming it was a Nitro dis). All I know is that ever since I’ve had the boat the max RPM...

    200 Opti Pro XS won't trim high enough.

    The trim rams push on what Mercury calls striker plates to raise the engine. These plates are integrated into/as a bolt. Does anyone know where I could purchase after market striker plates that are thicker offering a more extended trim? I know it would have the opposite result in the retracted...

    October Contest "Best Tip For A Bass Boat"

    When loading your boat back the trailer into the water completely covering the bunk boards, this will help remove any dirt that may have blown on to them after launch. Then pull forward to the desired depth for loading.

    50/50 vinegar and water in a spray bottle makes for an awesome wipe down solution after boating. Removes water spots and leaves you feeling fresh as a summers breeze.

    Jackplate confusion

    Is it possible to raise the engine jack plate to a point where the wot rpms increase,(went from 5300 to 5400), but the speed decreases, (went from 65 to 63)?

    Do you do water sports with your bass boat?

    DarthVMAX is correct, those ski poles are not designed for tubes and in fact have warnings on them stating the same. As well as the seat pedestal being fine for a seat, but very inadequate for the torque of pulling even a skier IMO.

    Do you do water sports with your bass boat?

    I'm taking the family to the lake this weekend and thinking about buying a tube and rope to enjoy some midday non fishing activities. I was wondering if any of you use your bass boat in that manner? Pros? cons? Do I need a different prop?

    How bad is the economy?

    The economy is so bad that: I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. I ordered a burger at McDonald's and the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?" CEO's are now playing miniature golf. If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call...
