Might try and make it then. Is it at the same landing the ABA was at? I don't know crap about that lake. Just like to come and enjoy the company.

cmegee · December 30, 2011, 10:12:07 AM

It's a fruit jar, if you kill yourself we'll just claim we didn't know you

Wait, you guys normally have rules against tillers?

Dang, DB, down here, some people get all bent if you don't have fancy enough rims on your trailer. Just kidding. Most people do require a live well though; and I don't mean a stringer hanging over the side of your boat!

cmegee · December 30, 2011, 10:42:41 AM

well it does have a livewell. just no fancy rims...

See now as a local tourney director I have all that covered. Remember, when my boat was new it was labeled Bass Boat. So it does have a livewell with fresh water pump, spray bar, overflow drain, etc. I also have a spare that I can put in the boat that plugs into an outlet with a aerator in it

DB I don't know of a club that has a rule against it but there are a lot of clubs. The times I've seen it listed it was a safety call for those running the event or circuit. Was told it was dangerous to do a blast off with 18 to 21ft boats running 150's and up blasting past a smaller boat with only tiller control.

This is why we all love fishing sooooooo much you just can't always nail the little buggers down,,,,,, and no I have no idea what they are doing right now the high cold water has them jacked up

But it will be a great day even if Jello wins

All the trash talking stopped because no one but Ron is catching fish Looks like a big donation to the Fogelson new motor fund

That I can understand, in a case like that I would just waive my takeoff position... for my own safety

cmegee · December 30, 2011, 01:30:02 PM

If I can get the trolling motor to work, that''s what I'll do. just ask to leave last

iClass · December 30, 2011, 01:37:48 PM

Chris, there may be someone with a back seat up there...We could share a ride if you want...I think you are just around the corner from me.

cmegee · December 30, 2011, 01:57:47 PM

Not too far. I'm not sure I'll get to stay all day though. Appreciate the offer, but would hate to have to leave early and put someone in a bind.

iClass · December 30, 2011, 02:25:45 PM

Not a problem...I'm only stayin for the fishin' Got to make a deliver some Rods up there anyway. Plus It won't hurt to show off the truck...Need a U.B. Sticker...!!!

cmegee · December 30, 2011, 02:28:55 PM

Kinda sounded like a hint there Cork..

I might have a couple if bobber doesn't hook you up!

iClass · December 30, 2011, 03:24:45 PM

Sweet!

DBrooke · December 30, 2011, 04:23:31 PM

Me too

~Dwight~ · December 30, 2011, 04:38:12 PM

I ran a tiller handle for a long time, of course it was a 25 hp and 40hp and it never bothered me to get passed up...I found other ways to get out front of everyone, even if it was only for a short while...No Guts, No Glory!!!! I have actually been thinking about getting another Aluminum boat with a surface drive motor.

DBrooke · December 30, 2011, 04:42:08 PM

I'm gonna be on a quest for a 25 2 stroke here soon. My lil old Merc was made before kill switches and just doesn't have enough hp for me. A buddy has a 25 on his 14' glass boat and tops out at 25mph, I imagine I can break 30

~Dwight~ · December 30, 2011, 05:53:34 PM

David, do some looking around and see if you can find a 3 cyclinder Yamaha 25Hp. They are two stroke and can run a 15/44 aluminum boat in the upper 20's to lower 30's depending on setup and load. They only made them a few years so will take some looking around. And they are usually a little more pricey than the standard 2 cyclinder. My Mercury 25 and Mariner 25 would run 29 with a empty boat and just me in it. I had a 13P prop on both and also ran a jackplate.

Edutton · December 30, 2011, 06:49:29 PM

Looks like I'm going to make it out tomorrow and throw in our donation!
