Well, I pulled the trigger last Friday. I now am the owner of a 2015 Stratos 186VLO with a 115 Evinrude. Engine, as it turns out, was started 22 times and it had 14hrs on it. Added a 8'ft talon...
Intending to buy a boat soon. The one I put a deposit down on comes with a 3 blade aluminum (stock), a stainless steel 3 blade, and a stainless steel 4 blade. What's the difference? (other than...
Looking at the VLO series (176, 186, 189) for a first bass boat. Can anyone offer opinions on performance, issues they've had, the addition of power poles on a 115 HP engine, etc??
Looking for...
Hello. Was looking at a boat ad that's for sale and the seller indicates that he just had a "140 HP Evinrude Looper motor installed". What the heck are they talking about.?
No offense but, Booo hooo hooo....
Actually, Club has Tx's on Champlain, the Hudson, and Candlewood this year. A little worried how'd a smaller aluminum would handle.
I hope there's some like this available by me soon. Trying to get below $8 so I have money left for electronics, etc.
I started with an Old Gander Mtn tackle bag. Swapped out the 5 trays that came with it for 2 smaller ones for the main compartment, and then there's 2 outside compartment slots for a small terminal...
Fairly certain the Mythbusters covered this (ok, a version of this) and any difference in MPG was very very minimal.
You know you are going away to school in a couple of years. If you don't think you'll be able to afford the payments while in school then I'd say you're better off holding off on buying new. As...
I'll say I have done this with cars, but not with the intent of selling just wanting to pay off quickly and getting the lowest interest rate/required monthly payment I could just "in case an...
I second the questioning of whether you can truly afford this or not. Owning a house can be expensive, as stated above, shit breaks. On top of shit breaking, you also have maintenance expenses to...
So what's the deal then with Trackers? There seems to be quite a few (used) for sale in my area but most people I've talked to say to stay away from them.
Huh? I just want to be able to log-in and check on thread's I'm involved in that's all. I can't seem to get the log-in to work.
Anybody else having an issue? From my phone I enter my username and password and it goes to the screen as if I entered the wrong info. I can keep entering it and it continues to ask but the "log in...
I suppose how they ride/handle would be the most important factor to me as speed is more of function of the engines each has (one has a 90, the other a 115, and I forget what the 3rd has). I mean, I...
not enough info to comment or to much like comparing apples to apples?
Looking at an 07 275 XL vs an 04 275 Pro XL vs a 00 Vindicator. Seems like all 3 have different HP engines, any big differences between the 3 that might not be obvious to a newbie (other than the...
ok, define "better" and "newer". I've only been in glass as a coangler. Looking to purchase soon and looking at used which I would think means "older" LOL.
Alright, so how does the ride compare? What's the benefit of fiberglass (other than apparently speed)?
Ain't that the truth. Almost jumped right into a boat that we 2 years older when things fell apart. Wasn't really what I wanted, and needed some sense knocked into me.
Yeah, I had 2 sold out from under me already (01 Ranger and Triton). After losing out I decided to wait a little longer to put away a little more for either something newer OR so I could set aside...
Doesn't it start on Thursday now like everywhere else? LOL
Continuation of another thread/post. Seems that some have suggested now is the time to purchase a used boat because they believe prices won't get lower than they are now. Additionally, I'm see some...
