Got all excited when I saw this thread was 3 pages long thinking it would be a lot of good ideas. Guess I was wrong...

Might have to pick up a couple cans of that truck bed liner spray and give it a shot. If that doesn't help then I might check into the stuff for cars. I wonder how heavy that stuff is for the cars? I...

I went with a Crestliner VT 18 which is made in the same plant as the Lowe's. Price for a similarly equipped Crestliner compared to a Ranger was about $6000 in savings. Ranger trailer will be nicer...

I worried about this for a while on my boat then paid attention to what was likely causing it. Backing the trailer into the water pretty quick has caused it and coming off plane and water sloshing...

Been a while since I have been on this site and its good to be back! One of the things I have noticed with my 2016 Crestliner VT 18 is the slapping noise of waves on the bow. Any recommendations for...

Dealer gave me a MY-Wedge when I bought my VT-18...

Please tell me that universal sonar is not the only option... I have been holding out for a fortrex with a DI capable ducer and this would be the ultimate tease if it didn't have DI...

My black boat really doesn't get hot in the sun surprisingly. But keeping it clean, no chance in heck would I do it again. You have to think that waterspots will be the most prevalent cause of a...

I have a VT 18 with the 115 four stroke and an x7 prop, loaded with all my gear, full tank, and all 240lbs of me I have hit 48.3. Very stable, layout is very good, and even with another person...

If it says Lund then is sells up north. On the ride back from Canada I kept a mental note of all the boats I saw headed north (A LOT) and probably 70% was Lund, then 15% Alumacraft, and 10%...

I bought some Taylor Made ones off of amazon that are designed for low freeboard boats. Work perfectly for me, all the docks at the marina I use are higher than my boat by a good margin.

My boat...

Took mine to target slimy pike in Canada, surprised it didn't explode.:pimp:

I never cared for the Lowe's, looked at them several times at Cabela's and they feel cheaper than the Crestliner. Yeah it sounds weird since they are made in the same factory, and it did make me...

Got back today from a lengthy fishing trip to Canada and got some good boat (and trailer) time to figure out the pros and cons of my VT18 and the Spitfire X7. First the prop, 19P X7, it does well...

I feel a leafblower is in order

Started polishing the bottom of my boat by hand earlier. I took before pictures but didn't bother taking "after" pictures. After 45 minutes my arms were aching and there was a minimal improvement....

Yeah its gonna be exhausting :sick:. I will be doing it all by hand too, probably going to polish until it curves under the hull then just polish some of the rear that is in the water on plane. I'm...

Pay the homeless guy to kill ants...

I gained over 4mph when I switched from a 19p black max to a 19p x7... Prop slip is crazy low, that is a statistic you want to look at because of the efficiency. The lower the prop slip, the closer...

:roll:

Picking my boat up tomorrow night and will get to polishing the bottom on wednesday. I will post some pictures and the product I used.

I have a VT 18 which is essentially the same hull. At times it can get a little breezy for trolling, not the worst thing in the world though.

You could probably just drive around on plane with the plug pulled and drain it that way. Might not be the safest at times though if your plug is as tough to put in as mine...

Learning to fish offshore structure. This is my first year with a boat and the big lake nearby doesn't have much structure at all, it is basically a silted in strip of water 18 miles long along the...

I use cylinder weights and my drop shot baits are almost exclusively big bite 6" finesse worms. I come in with the hook point about 1/4" from the nose of the bait and leave the tip of the hook right...
