"go-bassn" wrote in message ... Very true. Jets are for running super shallow rocky rivers & the like. A jet on a fiberglass boat is like a bra on a man... Warren "Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers" wrote in message ... "go-bassn" wrote in message ... Steve believe me you dont want a jet engine with those weedy lakes you fish up there... Yeah, but just because I wouldn't want one, that doesn't necessarily mean that others wouldn't. Most jet propulsion systems are notoriously inefficient and I wouldn't want to lose speed. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com The new jets are about 95% the efficiency of a prop. They do not like weeds at slow speed is true. |

Will ya take me for a ride ?
Papa John "Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers" wrote in message ... Well, it has happened!!! I'm getting the FastCat C20. After talking with a couple other boat manufacturers, as well as other FastCat owners, I've decided to take the next step and get one of the little rascals. After talking with Jerry, the president of the company, I am now the Wisconsin sales rep for Fast Cat Marine and there's talk of more to come in the not too distant future! The FastCat owners that I've talked to have been more than impressed with the fishability, as well as it's rough water capability. I've been told that the storage is huge, which I need, and that they're a very comfortable, dry riding and FAST boat. We'll find out more when I get down to Miami later this month to meet with the owners of the company and to drive these little rascals. There's one boat down there that has twin 300 hp Merc's on the back and they're going to let me drive it!!! I've been told that they've hit 118 mph with it. That's something I've always wanted to do with a boat, drive into the triple digits and now I'm going to do it. How cool is that? I'm getting the boat rigged with a fair amount of cool stuff, a Merc 250 XS, Lenco Trim Tabs, stereo and all the other goodies as well. The list of goodies is fairly extensive and I'm getting the trailer upgrade as well, seeing's I put a lot of miles on a trailer. With some reservation, I'm putting a MotorGuide 105 pound thrust, 36 volt trolling motor on it as well, the digital model with depth track, shore track and that kind of stuff. I don't know if this is a good thing, but no one responded here or on the other locations that I posed the question, so I called a couple of service centers for MotorGuide. The report that I got was that this series of motors is doing very well but they all cautioned me that the more complex the motor is, the more likely it is to have something go wrong. I knew that before I ever picked up the phone! Both places said that they haven't been seeing them come in for repair for the same thing consistently, and that a lot of engineering had gone into upgrading the systems after MotorGuide bought PinPoint Trolling Motors. I loved my PinPoints, so hopefully this new TM will be as good or better. So now it's fly to Miami, run the boats and see what color I want to have them build the boat in. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

Regardless of brand names and bells and whistles, getting a new boat is usually a fun experience, so enjoy. And BE SAFE if they cut you loose on that 118mph model...lol I've been 90mph in a (not my) bass boat, and 75 on my (seriously souped up) Jet Ski....and those were plenty fast for me. ;-) On the water anyway, I don't mind triple digit speeds when there are tires under me. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |
My new rig is ordered - UPDATE!
This morning was very good! The FedEx driver left a care package on the
front porch. The electronics for the Cat arrived! Like a kid at Christmas, I opened the box and in it were my Lowrance LCX-26c HD. I haven't hooked it up to a battery, but from what I was reading, it comes pre-loaded with all the Fishing Hot Spots maps! HOW COOL IS THAT? Plus, I have an LMS-334C for the bow. THEN, I got a call from Jerry, the president of Fast Cat. He told me that they're just about done putting the finishing touches on my boat in the glass shop and it will be in the rigging shop yet this week! He told me that they were going to jam on the boat and make certain that it's ready for me to pick up before the Mid-TN Classic! Oh man, I don't know if I can wait. I'm ready to jump in the truck and start heading south NOW!!! It won't be long now, but let me tell you, this being boatless really sucks! Well, I'm off to ship the electronics to the rigging shop. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |
