Hey guys,
Wondering what your opinions are on the best swim ladder for a mod v type boat (Alumacraft Pro 185). I'm good with either a portable that hangs off the side or a fixed one on the back....
Ran the Mercury Laser II today and was pretty surprised. For a heavily used prop that has pretty significant edge wear it ran a touch better than my brand new Suzuki prop. I will definitely be...
Current Motor and prop is a 2019 DF115SS turning a Suzuki 14x23P SS. Performance is OK. On average I turn 5800 RPM with a top speed of 44-45. If the lake is choppy it will run up to almost 47. I have...
I use the center locker and so far have 10 rods in it but can fit way more. You can squeeze an 8 footer in there. I see a lot of guys use the center locker for tackle and put rods in one of the side...
Around 42-43 degrees.
Thanks for the compliments! As for the Cherokee it is indeed AWD. Being from Minnesota I've never had anything that wasn't 4WD / AWD. The V6 in the Cherokee has plenty o power. The tow package also...
Lake independence here in MN
Why when the boat is no where near 3000 pounds and my Cherokee is rated up to 4500? Pulls superbly.
Finally got out for her maiden voyage today. All broke in and man! What a machine! Super quiet and smooth. Up on plane instantly and ran her up to 47 mph before I ran out of runway. A little steering...
I was really quick to order the Suzuki. I'm not certain there will be any option other than an ETEC for Alumacraft in the near future.
haha that would be my father in law's house not mine.
The only issue I ran in to quality wise was the console was a whole 2" out of level. I had to drill out the rivets and loosen some screws and drop it down towards the port side to level and then tack...
Finally got around to getting my accessories installed this past weekend. Helix 10 MSI G3N mounted on the console. Built the bracket myself. Helix 7 MSI G3 set up on the bow. Minn Kota Terrova...
Unless something changed, I thought Solas made the majority OEM Zuke props here in the US. The dealer had to order my prop for my new boat since they didn't have one on hand. When I took it home I...
Suzuki power! People sleep on them but when dialed in they're a force to be reckoned with.
Bummer! It will probably be faster than the Alumacraft assuming it has a pad hull, and my rig will do around 47mph GPS. I run a very light setup.

What was the top end speed on the Vexus?
No I have my trolling motor from my previous boat, as well as all the electronics. Ice on the lake for a while here in MN so plenty of time to work on it.
Ordered in August and taking her home this Saturday. I will have better pics when I take it home. 2020 Alumacraft Pro 185, Suzuki DF115SS. :nanner:

I was going to order the Pro 175 originally but somehow talked myself in to the 185 lol. My only concern is that my trolling motor might struggle with the 185. I have a 55# Terrova and it pushes my...

It will probably come in sooner but I won't sign the papers until January(ish). The dealer is doing this for me so that I can take advantage of the boat show rebates.
Thanks! I'm only guessing 23p since I talked to another BBC member who is running a 21 pitch and is not enough. 6200 RPM @ 43 mph. Motor height is also something that has me wondering what would be...
