    Bank Trash

    Sold my Ranger finally. Took 6 months listed here on BBC and several price adjustments. I would have never thought the new Mercury 4 Stroke would kill the value of the previous 2 Stroke Pro XS but it did. I'm ready for the next adventure with the new 4 stroke behind a Ranger.

    Until then, welcome to the bank lol. Yeah those 2S motors are a thing of the past. I actually fished with a buddy Saturday that ended having something go wrong with his motor. He spent $11k in the power head and other maintenance stuff this year alone...welp as the saying goes, BREAK OUT ANOTHER THOUSAND! Hopefully the new 4S motors will prove to be more reliable

    Saying the arrival of the 4S has no one wanting the 2S.

    there are still some guys out there that are tried and true 2 stroke die hards do to moving parts and cost of rebuilding I'm looking at the 4 stroke after a few more years not buying into the first couple of years, but if I were that guy who spent 11k I would have just repowered with a whole new motor
