  9. You always wonder what colors look like down in our lake and the visibility down there. I came across this video of a diver on the st pete wreck near hughes marina last year, and it is cool to see how far you can see and what colors look like underwater at those depths as well as the ship which is being preserved in the cold water. There is also another video you can see how many gobies are down there! but cool video I found and thought I would share since I have never seen it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aoB1IAPPQg

  13. Myn I will have to change sensitivity to around 70% when running higher rpm. U will get a clear picture and still see bait. Then when I slow I put it back to 97-98%. Sent from my XT1254 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  15. Im not a professional on transducer install but, what transducer did you put on? and you want to try to install as far from any disturbance as you can. such as the back of the boat as far from a rigger cable or prop wash as possible. or if you are doing a thru hull type you would mount that ahead of your motors, such as in the floor under the cuddy part of the cabin that was it is getting undisturbed water to read from. maybe have a front bilge area that is accessible?

  22. I am having thoughts on getting a bigger boat. But my boat fishes awesome, tons of room, does everything i need. Only thing i want is more speed! I currently have a 350 crate motor holley carb and edelbrock intake mani. on there now estimated 260hp. I am pretty good with motor stuff and have done a lot of work on my truck rebuilding the motor, and building the motor and high hp twin turbo set up on my car. So my thoughts are go bigger boat or... put a fuel injected 383 in there not looking for a race boat but to be able to go high 30's would be nice i can currently go around 27-28 top speed! I was curious if anyone is running one and has trolled with it. I may throw a kicker on but dont mind trolling with the big motor. Just want to know if anyone has one or knows anyone that has one in their boat and if they like it, it is a strocked and bored 350 so was curious if they would be fine idleing at 500rpm for extended time or if the cam's are too aggressive ( can put a low rise cam in as well) but looking to hear if anyone has any experience! or other motors in the 350ish hp range people run? other disadvantages to running fuel injection on the water?
  23. bandrus said survey because he said ANY thoughts and buying a big boat there is much more to it than just driving it. You have to store it, tow it, put more gas in, learn the things the bigger boats ( blowers, all the wiring, out drive maintenance, winterizing the motor, winterizing outdrive, winterizing washdown pump, many other little things break that you don't think about everyday, as well as the extra safety gear you will need) these are the things you have to think about when jumping up to a bigger boat. ( not saying stuff on smaller boats doesn't break, just saying there is that much more in a bigger boat) But if you feel like you can handle repair and maintenance then it is MUCH nicer to fish on lake Ontario with! and driving it comes with time, honestly practice docking a few times when you first get it. try it going straight in, try backing in, when it is windy!! and it really helps when you have others there in case you may hit something! hope this helps not hinders your choice! the Penn Yann's are good fishing boats!
