    Flash and tournaments?

    For those of you that have had your ECU flashed/tuned are you still able to fish the larger tournament circuits? FLW(costa,BFL.etc.),BASS(state level, regionals,opens,etc.) Asking for a friend

    depends if you want to cheat the system or not if tournament rules state 250 max an you raise your hp by the rules you are cheating pretty simple.

    You can just buy the flash cable and software from Hydro-Tec and flash it to stock for tournaments and then reflash it back to 300hp for the rest of the time.

    I find a VERY HIGH percentage of people that post on BBC to take them selves way too serious. Maybe its just cabin fever.....

    Or you can just buy an ECU with the flash installed and swap them back and forth in less than 2 minutes........I happen to know someone that has one for sale if anyone is interested. PM me

    Called and talked to Bass Champs today and a ECM flash to a 300 HP is ok to do with the boat being rated to a 300 HP outboard.

    I was more concerned about passing a poly and not cheating.
