I never pushed my old (plus my new one) boat over 3200rpm and got about 24mph. Your boat will last longer if you don't push it too much.

Do you have an Alpha ONE outdrive? If so, it sounds about right. It's what I had with my 350

these are still available (in May) when I get back to Oswego

I've been using size 16 Latex for Walleye and Trout for downrigger rubber band releases.
What's everyone else using for size

Oh, my bad

VC-17 is the only way to go. Works great and easy to apply.
They may be phasing this out. But here's something
Seahawk Silver Bullet Racing Bottom Paint
A friction reducing low drag high performance coating. Gives an immediate super smooth racing finish without the need of sanding. A two-part coating that must be mixed prior to use. Compatible with VC-17

I found this here. http://www.totalboatshow.com/wordpress/2015/03/13/antifouling-companies-struggle-with-the-loss-of-herbicide-irgarol/
Your go-to antifouling paint may be different than it was last season.
As a boat owner, debunking the science of which bottom paint to use can be puzzling. Choosing the right antifouling for your boat will depend on many factors including your location, the current and the water temperature as well as what type of boat you have and how frequently you use it. Success with a particular bottom paint usually equals a loyal brand customer who relies on similar results season after season.
So then, if a main ingredient that was touted as being *key* to the antifouling side of boat bottom paint all of a sudden disappeared from the contents, are we ill fated to depend on our tried and true (maybe even blue!) paint? Enter Irgarol: The algaecide supplied by chemical giant BASF and widely relied upon by most marine paint manufacturers to control “soft growths†like slime and plant growth that has very recently been discontinued as a bottom paint ingredient.
BASF seems to have caught the bottom paint industry off guard with their announcement late last year, and while manufacturers of the Irgarol dependent paint hope that in just 6-9 months it could be in production again, there is no guarantee, and certainly these companies had to act quickly to be ready for bottom paint season with an alternative. There are a number of popular antifouling paints that are being affected by BASF’s discontinuation of Irgarol.

As a distributor of most of the bottom paints listed above, when Jamestown Distributors got word about the Irgarol shortage, we, like many other suppliers, ordered as much stock as possible of these Irgarol formulated paints to help customers seamlessly prepare for spring launching. Supplies are limited, however we do have these paints in stock and will sell them while inventory lasts. In fact the non-Irgarol replacement paints are also already in stock and for sale by most suppliers, including JD, and we have worked hard on our website to make sure it is clear to customers whether the paint you are buying contains Irgarol or doesn’t.
The moral here: Buyers, be aware of what you are buying. It may not be apparent to you as the consumer if you are using paint with Irgarol or paint without Irgarol. Read the labels carefully. The cans look similar, the type in most cases is small and it can be difficult to tell the two formulas apart.
Jamestown Distributors is sharing this information with our customers because our nearly 40 years of experience and expertise with marine coatings has proven that consumers care about the ingredients and performance of their bottom paint. Our own line of six different TotalBoat bottom paints were all developed without Irgarol and we are obviously glad to stand tall in the industry with our own proven growth-fighting bottom paints, without the distraction of reformulating our product line.
So be informed, read your paint can labels, check the product descriptions at JamestownDistributors.com and monitor your paint’s performance this season. Additionally, we invite you to come aboard the JD Bottom Paint Survey, and be a part of our own research & development of antifouling paints and their performance specific to your boat’s location. The more we know, the more YOU know!

Everything in moderation my friend

You and me both! Mine loves to fish but hates to troll. Wish she enjoyed our more as I love to troll and hate to still fish. O well I love her anyway and she graced me with my little boy.

Patriot, Is it carbonated with no head or no carbonation at all?
If it is not carbonated - try getting the bottle temp up into the low to mid 70s for a few days. If you still do not have it - mix with your favorite pale ale and call it a black and tan. Many a night I fell asleep before I finished my beer and it was flat the next morning - I am not one to waste - so that beer went in the fridge and was mixed the folling day with a fresh one to bring it back to life. This also works if you forget the primer.
If it is carbonated but looks flat... A little bit more complicated...
Here is a good read. If you have questions about home brewing - just google it. There are a lot of resources now. When I started there were several books and a few older statesman that gave me some tips.
Heat worked, I got head!

The fish like dots too

A good location is a good starting point. And yes to quality brew products, like BSM said. Checkout other micros to see what they're serving. I've noticed that most have food, weather it's in-house or food truck type. Must have food. Most have their own logo tap handles too. A good size bar table is a must too. I see that most make their own Flight holders too. But I'm sure your son is ontop of this and I wish him the very best of luck.
I do know one thing, more people like beer than fishing

I married my best catch 38 years ago and we're still going strong. And she loves to fish too!

I carbonated it for 2 weeks after bottling but the temp may have been a little too cool. I have it in a 70 degree temp room right now. And I gave the bottles a quick turn upsidedown to mix things up a bit. Even if it doesn't change things, its ok because it tastes real good.
I did a bit of reading and some use Nitrogen when on tap.

I just finished making my first ever beer. Some Irish Stout. Tastes great but need to pour it 16 inches from the glass to get any kind of head on it.

It's pretty easy, except getting your letters done in an arch can be a bit of a challenge putting on. Just don't rush it. Measure 2 times not just once. If you can't get all the air bubbles out just prick them with a pin and rub them out. I did 3 of my boats and they all turned out just fine

I know there’s no excuse for ignorance of the law but they will need to post a lot of new signs at boat launches.

I have given up on floro all together as I have never seen much of a difference on catch rate and I just don't see the value of using it. I run Big Game Clear line on all my reels. 30# for salmon (maybe I should run 20# with spoons) and 12# for trout and walleye. With any line, just watch for nicks and retie as needed.
