    new bimini?

    This may not be directly applicable since I bought a new frame too (I wanted a longer top than the original one). I used https://www.boatcoversdirect.com/ and asked for the THT discount which got me 5% or 10% off the lowest price I could find online. I got the Carver 4A5487UB which fits the...

    Valentine's advice

    I like my florest. I always feel like Im doing good in another woman's eyes when I go in and order flowers for my wife from her. They definitely bring in a lot of brownie points for what they cost IMO..

    trim tabs

    I have never run a V20 with any other model of tabs but the M120s seem more than adequate. I have never extended them more than about about 60% to get the ride I wanted. I usually run them around 30%.

    trim tabs

    Here is my M120 installation. I have had it for one season and I am very happy with it. I wasn't originally going to get the rocker switch with the LED indicator lights but I'm really glad I did. I'm a stickler for weight distribution so they really help with balance - but at the same time, if I...

    Which trolling rod?

    Ok, I went to the fishing flea market in Staten Island today and picked up a rod. Its an Ande 6'6" MH 20-40. It seems to be a nice fit for the reel. Thanks for all the guidance! As Skunk said, the reel will hold 650 yards of 30# braid. Can I get by with 300 yards and back it with maybe 40# mono...

    MPG chart.

    My gas gauge broke (it swung so wildly that the needle finally broke off!). Since then I have been happy just looking at the reading from the fuel flow meter and then just adding back in what it says I used. I mentioned this to someone and they said that's fine as long as no one steals your gas...

    MPG chart.

    Agreed. There is probably no practical difference or even anything that the typical boater could measure (though I bet NASA could measure it). I'm guessing that the difference in efficiency would be most apparent in a displacement hull or at least when a planing hull is not on plane. The boat...

    MPG chart.

    Warning - post hijack!.. So I was thinking - If high salinity increases buoyancy, does that improve fuel economy?...

    Which trolling rod?

    Interesting. I saw in your first post that you labeled the TDL 15 as ~30#. I assumed that they were just doubling it for some reason but I got the connection. I never considered that it would be metric but I guess why not? So I was looking at rods a bunch online today and the Shimano's were too...

    Which trolling rod?

    Good point. I never considered that. Thanks for sending me to YouTube on that one..

    Which trolling rod?

    Thanks Guys, Yea, being new I'm trying to keep it simple so no wire or bunker spoon rods just yet. I have been to a few flea markets and they are good but can get confusing so thanks for the insight that will allow me to do some research before I go. I only had a vague idea that the numbers in...

    Which trolling rod?

    Hi All, I'm a junior fisherman and I just got a Penn Squall SQL20LWLC for Christmas. I want to use it to troll for Stripers in the Long Island Sound and Sandy Hook Bay. I'm guessing that I will drag MoJo's with it but not sure. Can anyone recommend a modest but reliable rod to go with it...
