    Took the wife out for a relaxing evening and a little late season fishing and set the first rigger and was about to set the other when this brut hit. Without a scale I guess he was in the 30 lb range. He only had one good run in him before he gave up but was still alot of fun. I spent 5 minutes trying to revive him and to my surprise he swam straight down so I suspect he made it. One was enough tonight

    SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

  2. I had a crazy idea to have a bracket attached to both motors except the bracket would have to pivit as the big motors turn. there is 10 inches between the motors so I think the 9.9 high thrust long shaft on the side will have to do it . thanks for all your help. oh, the batteries are dead center

  3. Thanks, I should pass on the motor but i'm not convinced the 9.9 would be big enough. Either way, I have to have some kind of special mount built and I hope its worth it. thanks again, Marty on the bay 264 wellcraft

  4. I found a 1998 25hp 4 stroke mercury mariner kicker with controls and electric start that is in mint condition. Very little use. My question is, do I spend the time and money to have my boat modified to make this motor work? I have two 150 gas guzzeling outboards pushing a 6000 lb boat. The transom is full and the only place to put the kicker in on the same side as the driver witch I'm afraid will cause the boat to tilt to one side. I would spend alot more time on the water if I had the right setup. Someone told me a 9.9 four stroke woulden't be big enough.

    ==================

    Hi everyone, sure is different than pulling lead core for lakers in the adirondacks. Moved here from Old Forge a couple of years ago and am determined to learn the ropes on the big water. Bought everything I think I need except a probe and I'll probably get that soon. I 'm dying to get into the shallow water fishing in the spring. I found a couple of out riggers and am about to build the planer boards . hopefully the plans I found on line will do the trick. The only other issue I may have is the two 150 carberated out boards that will be idleing for many hours. I may buy a little 4stroke trolling motor if there is a way to mount it. Anyway, I hope to be able to report any success on this site spring and summer.
