Yanked 345 for 8 half deads...and I even got it off the ground once.

 

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck yeah!!!!!!

 

 

I pounded my hip bones with the bar though.  Not used to the new mobility.  Lol

At one time I picked up a Ford 289 with Hipo heads and loaded it in the back of a Nissan Hardbody Lowrider by myself..If I tried that now I would probably blow out a testicle.

Those are like 50 pounds ya baby.

 

Lol

Put my original 1500gti in the boat.  Fits in the enclosure that the Xcon was stolen out of.  Since they took the 1000w amp I am now powering it off the 2nd half of a 4000.4 Polk.  Output is absurd.

[///M5 2,833]

Obviously not a low end machine, but for the time being it is free tunes.  Stupid Alpine headunit makes me connect via bluetooth every time I power it on.  I have it go completely dead though as my batteries shut off switch kills everything except the bilge pump.

[///M5 2,833]

Screams to be paired with some high efficiency stuff in a 5 way, lol.

[///M5 2,833]

If I had a bigger enclosure the low end would be way better....but I ain't got room for that.

[///M5 2,833]

I am all wired back up for an upgrade, but don't feel like buying atm.  Either later this summer or next.  Contemplating just putting one of my 12's in a new enclosure to buy myself some more leg room

You sure you won't just change boats in the mean time?

[///M5 2,833]

adding one not changing

[topgun 262]

Need for speed again? 

[///M5 2,833]

I wish, but can't find the right compromise.  Want the best fishing boat for my family that fits in my garage.  If I can extend my garage 2" that would be this:

or

or

or

None are really fast.  All close to 60mph with a 200hp on them.  So not slow by any means, but I want the open space of a tiller.  Really a toss up between the lot depending on the deal.  I doubt the Yarcraft will fall my way, but the Ranger or Lund are rather likely.

If I have to get a 19' instead of a 20' (boo engine restrictions and 40mph MAX) then it will be the Warrior.  Will look for one that is grandfathered in with a larger motor.

My testicles? I was meaning a complete 289..Not just the heads.

[///M5 2,833]

Every other boat I look at I don't see how dad gets to fish too.

[///M5 2,833]

The 19' fits in my garage

 

[///M5 2,833]

Has to be older than 13 though otherwise max 90hp not 140hp.  The 140hp is a detuned 175hp as well which means it is easy to kick it up a notch.  Would RIP with a 175 on it.

[///M5 2,833]

Especially with the prop it comes with as the midrange would rip.

That last bass boat was a fucking monster.

 

 

[///M5 2,833]

Those are walleye boats with muskie platforms.  Multi species.  My old bass boat was a monster.  Nearly 80mph

[///M5 2,833]

not mine but nearly identical

[///M5 2,833]

The boats I am looking at all have HP restrictions because there is no steering wheel.  Something REALLY exciting about having a >4L v8 being completely controlled by your arm.

[///M5 2,833]

Restrictions of the coast guard are lifted at 20' which is why the first 4 all have 200hp+.  Last one is the 19' with a 140.

....I feel really dumb... what is the difference between boats in this context?

I would have assumed lake fishing boats are all the same for catching different fish.  How does the fish know????

I was never afraid for a second either.  Usually I get a sense of panic from bass boats lifting up.

That's what my girlfriend says when she gives me a handy.

 

If you go past 20 can you have a more powerful outboard or is it just the steering wheel?
