Guys-- I am not on here a lot, and I just now posted my Triton on the BBC ads. Very appreciative to have a good site to post my boat.

However I just wanted to share my first response for the ad,...

We are coming up on Spring Break and I don't want to take the boat in and miss taking by sons fishing on Kentucky Lake that week. This past weekend the motor was missing (like a mild "thump") on...

I just found the 3700 Series, going to order a few. I agree, we may have to work something up front, but I think the 2 back compartments will do if we are efficient. Thank you!

So I wanted to go to Bass Pro next weekend and shop lure storage boxes that fit precisely for my "new to me" Triton 189 TrX, but of course it is likely to close up for an undetermined amount of time....

Found and bought a used boat today, and from one of the members on this forum... fits perfect! Thanks to all for your comments

Thank everyone for the comments! What a great forum. Update:

--The Beeline is too long anyway. That is good, as I was not comfortable with the brand.

--Going to look at a 2014 Skeeter...

I should have said "not give me MANY headaches for a few years".. I am expecting some maintenance. Just trying to avoid the big ones. I will be able to pay all upfront, so payments not an issue. ...

I have had a welded 14' aluminum boat with 15hp Merc rigged for 2-man bass fishing for 15 years, however now that I have moved back closer to home (close to Kentucky Lake), I am in the market for a...

Thanks again for your insight. The OEM line and bulb was $70, the Atwood kit ($38) has the same specs (3/8" EPA compliant), fit nice and tight, and was brand new.... What is it about the OEM line...

Forgot to mention, I also bought a brand new EPA approved 3/8" Atwood fuel line kit, cut about 1.5 feet off to cut down on excessive hose. No clamps, but the hose is on both the tank and motor tight

Thanks for that.... Now another issue. The mechanic said he test-ran the motor after replacing the plugs and carb kit and it ran good.

However, I took the boat to the lake this morning and it...

I took my motor to an authorized Merc dealer, and although they predicted cleaning out the carbs for $100-150, turned out to install new carb kit and 2 new spark plugs for $300. As long as it is...

There is also oil puddle below the prop in the garage after each trip to the lake.

Tracker Grizzly 1448, me (220 lbs), my son (70 lbs), cooler, and tackle. I don't think that is overloading the...

Sorry, I just saw the sticky. OT864327

I have a 15hp 2-stroke Mercury motor that I bought brand new in 2006 and has very few hours on it (<50). It is in great condition and the last time I put it in the barn for storage (2010), I ran the...

Lost a good fish this morning... pitchin a lizard into shallow stumps. I use 40-lb Super Braid. The loop slipped through the daylight in the eye of the hook. This has happened to me before when...

OK, found it.... sorry about that

Good idea on the Sharpie marker, but don't Sharpies have a strong smell? I would be afraid of spooking the fish, particularly with jigs or worms....

thanks again

I saw where there were classifieds for props and boats for sale, but what about individual motors? Did I simply overlook it?

thanks
Scott

thanks for the informative post! I think I'll stick with what I have for now, but dabble in various types as the season progresses....

Initially I thought braid might be good for pitching a jig...

I am just now getting back into bass fishing seriously. I used to swear by Trilene XT for baitcasting, and Trilene XL for spinning tackle. I feel pretty good about sticking with this combination, but...
