I'm looking real hard at this boat. The 2015's should be available in July. Any thoughts on this, especially from current RT 188 owners, is welcome. Geezer.

Good one kipp... Have you considered getting a "Keel Guard"?

I'm looking real hard at this boat. Should do well with a 115 Merc & 80# Fortrex. Anyone here have any experiences with this boat? Any input would be appreciated. Geezer.

One more thing... Once the final fit on all components is to my satisfaction, I weld everything vs just bolting.

With few exceptions, the boats I've purchased in the past have needed work on their trailers to make them a true drive-on. Usually they come with 2 bunks (some with skinny 2x4's vs 2x6's) that are mounted too high for my taste. Normally I end up lowering those bunks & mounting 2 more bunks on...

I'm down..... but not out. Next year!!!:party0045: (Is it just me, or are you hearing the Rocky music too.)

I did not win the McDonald/Sealy Big Bass tournament at Lake Fork. Yeah, I know, I know, I was taken aback too. But, sometimes things just go against the odds... In our defense, my partner (my son) and I got on the fish early, & stayed on them all 3 days of the tournament. Lots of fish caught...

If you look on the sidewall of those 1997 Marathon's, you'll probably see "Made in USA". You wont see that on any that you buy now. They were an excellent tire.

With one exception, all trailer tires, regardless of brand name, are made in China. There is a Carlisle plant in the USA that makes some trailer tires. Carlisle trailer tires are also made in China. If you want USA made Carlisle's, you need to specify that to your tire store. If your size is...

Correction to above post... The 12V MinnKota Edge is a 55 lbs thrust t/motor.

4strokes...I was thinking I'd use a transom xducer (I have 2 on hand) for the bow mounted sounder, & a thru hull xducer with attached temp probe for the console sounder. The only time I use the bow sounder is when the trolling motor is down, so I figured I'd mount that xducer about midway up the...

JEFraze... I have a 16' fiberglass Bass boat (2000# with fishermen & gear). I use a 12V MinnKota Edge t/motor (54 lbs thrust). It's more than sufficient for this boat. I do run 2 deep cycle batteries (size 31) wired parallel for the t/motor, & a size 27 starting battery for main motor & all...

Fished Lake Fork, Tx. last month. Water was down about 6'. Found lots of fish holding tight to hardwoods in 20' to 30' of water. Wind was blowing pretty good & bottom of boat was bumping on stumps for 3 days of fishing. Ended up breaking the transom mounts for both of my Humminbird transducers...

I intend to buy one from you. Right now, I'm still building the engine. When I get it together, I have a couple of old props here I'm going to run tests with.I will provide you with detailed figures so we can get this set-up dialed in. Right now were dealing with an 800 lb dry weight boat (2000...

The '73 135 Evinrude has a 13 spline shaft. Right now the PTR3 has my vote. Sounds like it's comparable to the Raker. Thanks for your input. Geezer.

Jay... '96 Skeeter SS 90 with '73 Evinrude 135. I'm thinking the Raker or PowerTech 3 blade. What are your thoughts regarding comparing these two? Geezer.

Wish I still had the 1976 Wrangler that I bought to fish the 1976 Louisiana Top 6 tournament on Toledo Bend with. It was one of the few there & a real bad a-- boat in it's day. But it would get squirrely pretty quick at speed, you had to slap it back on pad with the steering wheel (it was a...

zr7cat... Regarding trolling motors, I put a 54# thrust MinnKota Edge on my SS 90 (12 volt). Does a great job in any weather! Geezer.

Okay. Thanks.
