Left the dock at first light with my daughter and her boyfriend. First time out for him and only the 2nd time for her. Beautiful ocean with a comfortable ride out to 100' for a bottom trip. Air temp reached 80 + with 75 degree water temp in the deep. Fished 90 - 120 ft (50 miles from rocks)...

I mentioned this in my repair thread, but decided to start a new thread over here in performance on this subject. How about the new light weight good-on-gas in-line 4 cylinder 4 strokes by Yamaha? Looking at 150hp or 175hp (rather have 200 but not bad enough to spend thousands more. The...

I mentioned this in my spun prop thread but it needs its own thread. Motor= 2004 150hp Yamaha 2 stroke with ~1000 lovingly applied hours I need help. My tilt quit on me a couple weeks ago. Noticed the little cylinder cap on the right cylinder (takes a spanner or "pin" wrench) was loosened. I...

Went fishing this weekend. Truly a fishing trip with very little catching. Spun the prop about 8 miles out. Was still able to make about 6 knots. Got out the life jackets, called Sea Tow on the telephone to alert the local captain of the situation and that we were still able to make headway...

Murrell's Inlet Bottom Fishing Report 4/18 Headed down after work on Friday to do some fishing. Wasn't sure about the forecast with rain all over but the wife was having her girly time for her birthday this weekend......in my man cave! So, with me being kicked out of my humble abode, me and a...

I've been doing a lot of spring prep work on the V21 and 150 Yamaha. My question is about the sacrificial anodes. The trim tab anode is rather pitted - although I think it would still be ok for a bit more service. However when I pulled the trim tab bolt to drop the lower (replaced impeller) I...

I'm a little late on the report.....we spent 10 days in Hatteras, fishing 9 of the 10 days. We made it offshore 4 times and caught 33 dolphin and 1 bonita. 3 or 4 of the dolphin were over 20 lbs and the 2 biggest were 23 lbs. We fished inshore 5 times catching a lot of flounder but probably...

Model: 2004 Yamaha 150 two stroke model TXRC Which spark plugs NGK BR7HS or BR7HS-10? I believe it is the same plug only the -10 is gapped differently. Anybody know which I should get? Pretty sure my motor has BR7HS in it now but I'm at work. Worst case I can look when I get home tomorrow...

Forecast called for a decent weather window so after careful consideration, made the call to head out for some bottom fishing Sunday 5/4. Two buddy's headed down Friday and I loaded the boat and headed down Saturday afternoon. Hit the sack around 10:30ish and up around 4:15 am and had to make...

Just slightly too rough to head offshore.... Fished on my buddy's boat in the creeks. He fished solo on 4/17 and found some good red action which he put me on the next 2 days. Landed a total of 10 or so and a couple lost. Five in the slot. Also a few short flounder. It sure did get...

Anybody connect the wires (NMEA 0183 or 2000) between the units to enable DSC? If so how did you connect the wires? In my instance they aren't long enough plus they are just slightly larger than a human hair (ok maybe a little bit bigger than that). I am curious to know how to do this the...

I have an older 18 - 20 gallon tank, possibly Moeller, unsure of mfg. It is a below deck tank and I would like to modify it to use above deck to extend the range on the V21 which has the 60g below deck tank. The dimensions allow my spare tank to fit perfectly under the bench seat. The tank...

Saturday, 8/31 Headed out with a crew of 4 fishing buddies. Made good time on slick seas. Ended with triggers, grunts, bsb, and pinkies. Sunday, 9/1 What a difference a day makes. Headed out with a crew of 5 including my daughter and buddy's wife. Beat our way out and back in...

Watched the weather and made the decision at the last minute to head offshore on 8/3 for some bottom fish. Three of us aboard Blue Runner. Pretty much the same report as last time except got a couple triggerfish this time and the seabass were a little bigger - 15" - 18". Fished 4 or 5...

After recently repairing my trailer and seeing a decent forecast me and friends/brothers Cory and Garrett made the last minute decision to head off the coast of SC to do some bottom fishing. A front lingering about 60 miles offshore made things a little interesting but we ONLY ran out 45 miles...

Better late than never right? Stayed in Hatteras Village from 5/21 - 5/27 with 3 of my good friends. Such a wonderful place. Someone once said if you listen to the weatherman there you would never go fishing. It is rare to ever see anything below 15 knot winds and 3 - 5 ft seas in the...

I want to replace my trailer hubs for peace of mind on long towing trips. I have a 2005 Venture dual axe trailer....w/ my V21 sitting on it......I was looking at the galvanized Super Lube hub kits. Looks like they get pretty good reviews and the install could not be easier...comes pre-greased...

This looks pretty dang good. Check out the goodies - newer trim tabs, Garmin chartplotter, etc. This boat has a future with somebody..... http://winstonsalem.craigslist.org/boa/3546380377.html

V20 made #37 on the list. http://www.saltwatersportsman.com/gallery/photo-galleries/2012/12/top-50-fishing-boats-all-time

My 12 year old daughter wants a bow and arrow for Christmas. Not for hunting, but for target practice.......I think she really digs that movie Hunger Games....apparently! Anyway, I see Walmart has a couple. I looked at the "Bear Archery Youth" set. Problem I see there is people were buying...
