    I do not believe 10 lbs of compression force will be detrimental and from the sounds of things, it should have been 40 feom the start. Thanks!
  4. Swapping out old lid struts and considering going from stock 30# to 40#

    I have a 12 Z519 and the front center locker is currently a 10” 30# and considering going up to a 10” 40#. Has anyone made this maintenance upgrade and did the added 10# of pressure cause any issues?

    We are in a down trend. The low support should be around 22-23,000 and I am expecting the market to slowly step down to that level. That being said, I am not a fan of the 401k. The only benefit...

    The best words to describe the Caracal is battle Tank. Its a bulky boat but stable and roomy to fish off. 60 is plenty fast and comfortable. I would not be opposed to the 200 on a Caracal.

    I would let the water fished dictate the boat size needed and not the garage space. The 518 is nice but there is no substitute for OAL length in rough water.

    I can’t speak to the 1998 but my 2012 Z519 came with a 10” Atlas. That being said, I would not exceed 6” on a 98. I believe the Ranger pad and hull to be to shallow so as the hull bounces in the...
