Got the rig cleaned up..............

[Jiggernaut]

Doesn't look too bad for an antique, huh?





Couldn't believe it, I was putting on a new prop and changing my lower unit oil, and noticed my jackplate was loose where it mounted to the transom. The locknuts had worked loose. Had to tighten them all back up. That could've been a disaster. She's ready to rock now.

Looks nice Jason. It is getting a bit old though. Time to buy new, huh? Glad you caught that jackplate before anything happened.

Yeah, that would have been bad news. Thank God you found it..There isn't any damage to the transome is there?? Looks Good

[Jiggernaut]

No damage, but I bet it was killing my performance. Anytime something in motor mounting comes loose, all the power is not being transferred properly to the prop.

[dukhntr]

So now you'll GPS around 55 right??

[Jiggernaut]

LMAO, you better add about 20 mph to that.

Nice looking rig Jason - those damn EFI's know how to drink the fuel - atleast mine does!!

Sounds like somebody is trying to make up for something else.

Drink? More like Guzzle. Just filled the truck and boat this weekend. It was only $143.

Tyson did you sign up under Jasons name?

God, I hope not.

[dukhntr]

Jason, I know that boat is fast. Is it hard to drive?? I know Brad's champ with the 200 Yammi is tough. It sits outta the water like nothing else I've ever seen. It'll run 73.9 GPS. That is a fairly light load. We have seen 72 and change with 2 people. His is very hard for me to drive.

[dukhntr]

Poor Tyson.....

[R.D.]

Randy.................I was pretty surprised my rig did as good as it did Saturday.................All my gear 3/4 tank gas, Tyson & all his stuff...........I had my junk 22p spare prop on & I saw 50MPH on GPS.............I can't wait to get other prop on now

[Duff]

Where is he at anyways? I did get to talk to him after the tourney though. I dont think he was real excited, but I hear he did catch some nice drum.

Damn, that is pretty good for a 115. I bet you could have seen 52 or 53 just you and light load.

[Duff]

Think you might have quoted the wrong person.

[TimS]

Ryan it looked like you guys were scooting pretty good every time I saw you guys running.

[R.D.]

That TR-175 get outta the water pretty good trimmed out most of the way


I agree......not bad for a 17.5' with 115
