The biggest factor I’d consider is space needed/desired. The smaller boats are limited on space, rod size in the rod lockers, deck space, etc. I bought a 01 Nitro 640 for my first boat back in 2012,...

My 2001 640LX does the same, no jackplate. I just try to come off plane slowly as I’m not good at bumping the throttle. I just bilge it out after a couple min of settling.
Cut the tongue of my trailer about 7 years ago, no issues. Easy job to complete, recommend you cut as far back as you can without interfering with the winch mount or jack to maximize storage space.
I was having issues with my factory aluminum prop getting on plane in any condition, top end was fine. Finally I hit a stump and replaced it with a 23p trophy plus and moved the motor from the...
I don't have a Ranger but I made one for a 2001 Nitro. I started off with a piece of 3/4" plywood coated in a few coats of Valspar and cut some angle aluminum to line the exterior areas for both...
I was too torn between both since they are on sale at BPS. Went with Garmin for Livescope ability and smaller transducer for the TM. Never owned a Garmin unit but it seems like I won’t be let down...
I have been looking to get a panoptixs live scope setup on my boat for the past few months but will take some time to get there since I can’t shell out $2K plus all at once. I have a Lowrance Elite...
I’m new to MD. Anyone know where the freshwater line is for the upper Chesapeake Bay Area? I can’t seem to find anything online. I’m assuming there’s a lot of brackish areas but don’t know where...
I rebuilt my trailer 3 years ago and I decided to install electric brakes on it. Previously it didn’t have any brakes as it is a small lighter boat but I wanted the added safety. Never looked back...
I went down this same road a few years ago when I was trying to find a trailer for my 640 which is rusting from inside out. I was looking at a new or used z6 trailer. The issue with the new...
Does the trolling motor interfere with the readings when trolling straight forward? I love the idea and concept since I can’t mount this transducer on my Minn Kota Edge since my fin is not located...
I ended up drilling a new hole because the bend was too drastic from the factory and I didn’t want to keep removing the motor every year to clean and lube it. I just covered it with a chrome...
Been down this road before...spent as much money on products that didn’t solve my problem. As stated above, buy new cables.
I have a 2014 F150 with the 3.5l ecoboost. Very solid and good performer when towing. If you want MPGs when towing, go with a diesel. I pull a horse trailer (5-6k) and a Nitro boat (2.7k) with...
Awesome, I’m in Jacksonville so it’ll be nice to make one trip. I missed last season so I’ll definitely be out a for as many as I can this year.
Are there any meetings before the tournaments?
I believe the first year was 1997 for the 640s and they stopped in 2008 to the Z6. It is very likely that it might have a 96 motor on it though. Tracker 90s are pretty strong for that boat and the...
X2 on Progressive. I got insured at 23 without an issue but I’m not sure of being military had anything to do with it.
All of my carpeting projects I usually use 6ft longer than the length of boat and I usually have very little leftover. If you plan to do inside the rod lockers, I order double the length of the boat.
Does anyone currently use the Navionics app for iPad or iPhone? I'm wondering how good the app works on the water as I am looking to use an iPad for my topography/chartplotting and my Lowrance unit...
Four things: technology, engineering, higher motor costs (more efficient and less maintenance) and accessories.
I really don't carry much gear but I could always shift my spare items and tackle to the other side. It normally sits pretty neutral. I'm guessing it wouldn't be a huge deal if I put it on the...
Which side do you guys think is best for mounting a single Talon on a 16' Nitro? I have a starboard side bracket available for really cheap otherwise I have to pay full price for a port side. Just...
Trimmed all the way down.
Generally yes, this is the length from the back of the motor to the tip of the swing away (also known as storage length). The 22'9 should fit.
