Great job. Hope the weather gets better for you. The fall walleye bite should be beginning soon. Maybe I'll see ya out there. Bill:beer:

Prop Aussie, I run a 14.5" X 19P. It's a 1983 v20 170hp 470 mercruiser. With a full tank(60 gal), two people and fishing gear, coolers, ice etc. I can run 34mph-gps at 4200rpm. That's on a dead flat lake Erie, which we don't see very often. I've never taken her beyond that but it still has some...

Mine has all kind of clearance. When the motor goes down and levels out I probably have at least 8" clearance. On a side note I'll never be without trim tabs with a kicker motor, it makes it so easy to trim the boat with the extra weight hanging back there. BC

I agree with you Destroyer. Years ago we ran a A-GAS dragster dry block. Start up, burn out, quater mile pass. That engine in the vidio didn't even get warm! BC

Great find Jeffmo. I need one for my boat and Ill be looking into them. Got out jigging yet? They are killing them on the reefs. BC

You got a deal on that one. I'm looking around also for a spare to rebuild but no luck. My 470 runs great but would like to have a backup, I'd hate to waist a summer because af a bad motor. BC

Jeff, I'll keep an eye out for ya come spring. You've got a great place going out of Vermillion, the sand bar to the north, Ruggles reef to the west. Lots of great perch and walleye fishing in the area. We did real well on the perch this fall off the Castle about 3mi out in 30ft of water. Hope...

Welcome jeffmo. I also have a 1983 v20 on lake Erie. Went out of Huron this year, but will be hitting the island area this spring. Great lake Erie boat,just watch the weather. Where are you located? Will you trailer or dock? Post some pics, maybe I'll see you out there. BC:beer:

Good one Willy! BC

Looking good. Keep us posted. BC

Welcome to the site. I'm new myself, lots of great info here. Oh by the way, these guys like boat porn here! LOL. BC :thre:

Boy, that makes you stop and think! Sounds like a trial run to me! BC
