Freshwater Fishing Reports Week of March 19, 2014 To prevent the spread of invasive zebra mussels, anglers in some North and Central Texas counties are required to drain all water from their boats before leaving or approaching a public water body. Get details. Water BodyReportALAN HENRY...

Little known that Allison built a tunnel and a mod-vp back in tha late 60's and early 70's. Tha large tunnels come from Paul's true tunnel hull design which Darris later added tha center pod. It came directly from the V bottom. Don't think they got all worked up on 'em like they did with the V...

How much transom angle in relation to the bottom? Tried wedges to get a little extra neg trim? Never heard of that kinda problem. Is that hull that much different from the majority of mod-vp hulls? Just sounds strange...

Is this the hull offset to pad distance plus depth (to low) of offset your referring to? If so it can be vented fairly easy.........Couple of thru hull fittings and some hose placed in the right place. If you haven't thought of that already.

Looks like you have the better of the two built. Either way they are weaker than a ridged and most other hyd. plates. They have too many moving parts to wear and/or break for me. As for using one, that's just choice. With convenience comes the added weight, amp draw and taking up space.

Sorry been so long. Been/still seein' tha country........:drunk: Freshwater Fishing Reports Week of November 20, 2013 Water BodyReportALAN HENRY Water lightly stained; 55–64 degrees; 13.3’ low. Black bass are fair to good on Rat–L–Traps, jigs, shallow running crankbaits and Texas rigs...

Rumor mill also says its NOT interchangeable with other mids? Something about trim system interference. Don't know it for fact! Yeah, tha fewer holes on tha side go back ta tha 2.5 TM that worked really well for runnin' it higher than tha stock stuff....... Here's a thread on it...

Agreed! Its a crap shoot with even tha most well maintained (checked out makes tha odds a little better) motor out there........

Heard about tha new case design. Haven't seen any performance information on yet...........

Pretty much agree on TM. If for some reason it wants ta "blow out" with YOUR FISHIN' LOAD (might be lighter than some) ya can always have a cone added. Then you'll have tha best possible gear case on it...............

Ain't that tha truth! But I've always been told those aren't "real" fishin' boats anyway :wallbash:

If one of those is still runnin', its good one or its been replaced with a good one like he says............From what I've seen and heard, Big Champion is a pretty good one also.

Freshwater Fishing Reports Week of September 4, 2013 Water BodyReportALAN HENRY Water lightly stained; 87–92 degrees; 12.78’ low. Black bass are fair to good on topwaters early, later switching to drop shot rigs, shakyheads and Texas rigs. Crappie are fair on live minnows over brush piles...

Would really like ta see tha "Bird". I did one similar years back. Was a '73 Formula. Painted it black too. After some pretty heavy "breathin' on tha 400 (had ta do tha "X" frame deal), trans and rear end it turned inta a very good ride!!! Oops, back ta subject. Sounds like ya got it handled...

After realizin' tha dates on these post ya probably already got it fixed, huh! Just gettin' old I guess. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it...... :drunk:

"Comin' Soon" to a site near you!!! Bride finally retired too. Been on a tour of some places (States) lookin' for somewhere ta "winter up".............

Idle Air Bleed jet: .060 This is probably most of your problem. Not enough air. Ya might hafta do some idle timin' adjustment when ya do this........ Tha 56's may be a tad "fat" also. Might need ta do some plug readin' and/or piston top visual ta see if that's tha case............ Just a...

Just removin' tha can and drillin' holes in tha down housin' don't do any "seat of tha pants" thing. It can be measured on tha real hot rods on tha clock, computer, aim etc. But tha sound can be/is deceiving. Tuners. He's kinda right. Tha only tuner change I've seen that you can notice right...
