NP wishitwasbigger I prefer not to talk about that in this thread. There is already like 2 or 3 different threads about the crash. No need to derail this thread with more of the OH WOW DID YOU HEAR...

Wrong thread.

It's all good, it rubbed me the wrong way is all. Something happens to a boat like mine and then someone comes in here telling me to buy another boat. I could nit pick problems with Ranger and...

I'm still working on it. It's a slow arduous process. I have not given up yet but I'm almost done messing with it.

Ignorant in the fact that there were Wakes involved, loss of control due to the operator letting go of the wheel under power while bouncing over the wake. So the water was not flat and it happened...

Dude you really need to send your negative vibes and ignorant posts elsewhere.

Mike I'm interested in hearing all about the experience. Like what all the expenses are, how you like it and if it lives up to your expectations.

Thank you Old Bass Tard, I saw that thread after I posted this one. I just posted over there busting every one's balls ;)

Thank you Casslaw

Thank you Dan, I had no idea those quick silver scissor lift style jack plates existed. Not what I was thinking but good to know they exist. :)

It would probably be pretty difficult to build...

You know I have never seen a jack plate that not only went up and down but also went in and out. It would be nice to have a jack plate that can be sucked into the transom to save space for parking...

The DT150 BASS on the boat now is really heavy. I'm hoping to get away from the heavy engines. Fuel efficiency is important as well as hole shot and top end performance. Occasionally I will pull...

Why Suzuki. I am tired of the Suzuki I have with all it's random over heat alarms and don't want to buy another potential head ache chasing problems.

Thank you Okieracing,

I did a google search this morning after asking again and came accross some information related to boat size and weight limits etc.

It's kind of an interesting read if any...

For now I am just playing with the idea and trying to figure out which way to go if I end up needing a re power. 4 strokes do need valve adjustments and more maintenance as far as I under stand it...

I have been pondering the notion of re-powering my boat for a minute. The '96 Suzuki DT150S BASS is just not performing like it should. I keep having issues I am trying to iron out and keep dumping...
