    150 mercury top speed

    Mine was a little slower, around 38 mph. I bought mine from a friend who owned a prop shop. At the time, we were doing a lot of diving, so he had it propped for more torque than speed. Loaded with 60 gallons of fuel,4 divers, 8 tanks and all the other stuff it takes to breath under water, it...

    Agree with Blue, If that picture would have been on the brochure, they would not have stopped production of the V.

    Fishing Lead Core

    When we troll for king/spanish/grouper, you never stop the boat. Especially if u have more than 2 lines out. If you are in a pattern with other boats, peel off out of the loop and go deal with your fish, then troll back in the parade when finished. If u need any Penn parts and can't find...

    1980 Center Console repower

    Is that hull self -bailing or does the deck drain into the bilge? I like CT's suggestion to move batteries under the console to offset the additional weight. As far as tabs, every boat would benefit from them. With power trim and tilt, u can bow up and down to help the ride, but leveling...

    Finally, POMPANO!!!!!

    Very true,G. I tried to save some scraps for my son to give to OZ. He was not interested. I might have to sneak some over there. Scook, that sounds like a great trip. I’ve got some buddies I’ve fished with for 45 years. I try to get them to go, but always to busy or unable to go. My wife...

    1988 v-20 Cuddy fuel tank

    I think FFM is saying it doesn’t take long to run gas out of a tank on a boat. No matter how much u stuff in it.

    Finally ,Spanish are here!

    We no longer have Oz. My son decided he needed a cat more,than we did. She went from a yard cat outside 24/7 to a full time house cat. He took her this winter during one of our freezes I caught a couple of pompano last week and thought about her

    To re-power or to rebuild?

    I like it. Looks great. I like my Mercury, but I wish it wish I could have got it in white. Time to get some hours on it!

    1980 Center Console repower

    I would think the bolt pattern would be the same. I went from a 83 to a 94 to a 2015 using the same holes. It looks like the wood strip on the transom was added to raise the older motor. Should be able to remove it.

    What is the weight difference in the 2 motors? Make sure the shafts are the same. Transom in good shape? If all that is good,sounds like a great plan.
