    I wouldn't buy anything made during the "Covid" years. Product Quality went south on everything during that time.

    Choke Canyon?

    Has anyone been to Choke Canyon lately? I'm just wondering if any boat ramps are open. It was getting dry the last time I was there. The South Shore ramp has been closed for a while. Is anything open...

    Yep, I would count on that.

    Do you still have the original T-1 from the HPDI? That would be a better prop. The original T-1 is faster than the T2. The Talons aren't helping either though. That's a lot of weight on the transom....

    The last time I used mine, it seems like it made the moisture worse. I haven't used it in years, and don't see any reason to ever use it again.

    I would use a Tempest. You can easily replace the hub yourself, if you need to again. The Tempest will also like running lower than the T-1, but about the same height as the "M" series. I have never...

    I think it's just an inherent characteristic of the hull design. I don't think there is a way to engineer it out, without significantly changing the hull design. If you do that, then it's not really...

    I would keep that T-1. Try it out first. If you can't turn it 6k rpms, report back. It might need to be re-pitched in order to keep the rpms up. I definitely wouldn't recommend the newer (SHO) T-1,...

    Are the wedges turned the same way as before the jackplate swap? If they are upside down from before, then that will drastically change the trim angle. Your trim could be way different than you think.

    I don't think there is any way to tell how much longer they will last. Mine (AC Delco) are 8 years old, and still going strong.

    You have a completely different boat, but you might have a similar issue. You definitely should not raise the jackplate. Doing so will likely make things worse. Your prop slip % is off the charts....

    Does it just completely die all of a sudden, like the key is turned off, or does it spit and sputter?

    When you switch back and forth, you have to swap all of the hardware too. I would just pick one style and stay with that one. The thrust washer can be a PITA to change. Sometimes they get a little...

    I put mine next to the batteries on the port side, just outboard of the center line drain/bilge/channel. I used industrial-strength velcro to keep it in place. I don't like drilling holes in my boat.

    I like the Tempest. I switch between the 25 Tempest and a Hill Signature series 4-blade (S-4). I bought the 4-blade for running the swallows along the James river. Now, I use it when I plan on...

    I started off with the Bob's. I had the dealer swap it out before I took delivery of the boat. I was in Virginia at the time, and I used it quite often while fishing the shallow tidal areas. I like...

    Well, you had better luck with the Solas Scorpion than I did. I didn't have it tweaked, though. I ran it stock, and I believe it was a couple mph slower. at a few hundred rpms lower. It also made my...

    It doesn't matter what tips or tricks you try. Loading a Skeeter will not be as easy as loading a Ranger (I have had 2). It's almost impossible to mess up loading a Ranger. They will literally center...

    Yeah, try to listen when you remove the gas cap after getting off the water. I would also hear it when filling up before a trip. If it is sucking in air, then you have a vent problem.

    I typically...

    Have you noticed air being sucked in when you remove the gas cap? These boats are known to have fuel-vent issues. If it can't get air in as you burn fuel, it will collapse the fuel tank. The tank...
