FWIW, I simply put a toggle switch in the dash to supply a ground when the ECM forgets to turn the fuel pump on. Sometimes I can fish for days without the issue but when it arises I just flip the...

I just received my zero degree mount for my LVS34, from Amazon yesterday. Took about a week and if I recall correctly, it was around $40 including Texas sales tax.

This hull was also built by Raycraft boats in San Augustine, Tx and Thunderbolt out of Athens Tx.

Grease hubs are the only way to fly. I've been dragging bassboats for over 40 years and never had one issue. I check the hubs on my 96 Eyra annually to make sure there's no water intrusion and give...

I'm wanting to put my 959di on the bow. I have an MG Xi5 with built in generic transducer. The adapter cables do not show any of the downscan HB units to be compatible. All I'm really wanting is the...

Don't have a pony in this particular show.........BUT. I have busted two Xpress hulls, they built me a new hull and I broke it too. Split the welds all to hell on a Monarch and managed to fubar a...

Thanks, I was wondering, as I'd ordered steering cables for my Eyra and other stuff last week and had not heard back nir gotten anyone to answer the phone.

I've got a 96 with a 175 efi. It'll run 70-71 really light. She's probably got a little more in her but I don't. I can run 68 pretty consistently but the chine walk makes it scary above that. Sweet...

I posted this in the props forum and evidently it is more of a set up question than a prop question so I copied it here. I have a 1996 Bass Cat Eyra with a Mariner 175 EFI. It turns a 25 Tempest ...

Have a 1996 Bass Cat Eyra with a Mariner 175 EFI. It turns a 25 Tempest 3.25" below pad about 5900 rpm at 69-70 mph but is a nasty handful to drive above 65 mph. I recently was given a 23 pitch A41...

Crappiewiz, the old Eyras are darn hard to beat in the 18 foot category. It's been 3 years since I started the original thread and I'm still running the old Eyra. I did update all the electronics...

Very nice. That Pro Max looks sweet!

Ok, got a 96 Eyra, 175 efi, 25 Tempest. It was originally set up at 3 5/8" below pad, I have raised it to 3 1/4" below and still have 17-19 psi water pressure at WOT with no increase in steering...

Since I don't have a Sabre to compare it to all I can say is that it drafts about as shallow as my 19'6" much wider Nitro. Shouldn't....but it does. My biggest hindrance is my trolling motor. It's...

BassinB, here's some pics that sort of capture the depth of the hull. Deepest V I've ever seen on a bass boat this size.

I purchased a 1996 Eyra with a 175 EFI a little over a year ago and thought I'd give my impressions after a year's use. I had been running a 19 1/2' Nitro for 17 years so it was time to change. One...

Thanks Pat. Been running Nitros, Champs and an occasional Skeeter for many years and good amount of seat time in a Pantera II but this little cat is a whole different beast. I realize that I'm way...

I have a 96 Eyra, version 2 hull with a Mariner 175 EFI. Currently running a 25 tempest. In cold weather running light it will bump 71 but is an absolute bear to drive. Been running bassboats for...

Thanks BCB. I have the 2nd version (big water) I have run a PII with a 200 EFI quite a bit and this is a totally different animal. The hull seems to like trim, all is relatively well up to mid 60s...

RayCraft boats out of San Augustine Tx. produced the exact same hull as did Thunderbolt boats formerly out of Athen Tx. Both these manufacturers are now out of business. Raycraft's boat was V-177....

That's why I chuckle when folks talk about running 40 to 50 mph in 4 footers.

No real pony in this race but I am a student of rough water and the ability of modern bassboats to navigate it safely. The misconception that I commonly see is in the measurement of wave heights. A...

Thanks for the info Marty. I had seen the 2 companies linked together on an internet search and assumed that after the Rivertrail factory had been destroyed that Excel was a reincarnation of...
