I would hate to see it leave Geneva but if it's do or die, get it somewhere that can keep it and grow it. The way big fish Friday is growing in size , I won't be surprised if that becomes the derby. Just a shame area businesses can't keep it going. But oh well. I for one can't wait.
I can tell you Les, she purred in the driveway. Guy talked me into the 9.8 vs the 8hp pointing out that you won't see the increased hp until you open her up. Trolling speeds I should still be fine with copper. So ended up with electric start and because I was such a nice guy, he knocked off another 30.00. Lol. Fit on the boat nice. Just have to get the ez steer hooked up.
Not to contradict anyone because I think it's safe to always have them on in on the cold waters, NYS Nav Law Sec 40.1e states "anyone underway in boat less than 21 feet Nov 1-May 1 must wear them". If your jigging and not underway your legal. Just not as safe as you could be. Those are some solid fish. Thanks for sharing!
King how big is your boat you run the 9.8 on? J&J I think unless you have electric start you don't have the alternator charge kit on it but that's a guess. If in fact you did they put out 6amps it looks like.
FishingFL, I hung sheets /stapled on the ceiling in my garage to section off my hull so that I could use a kerosene heater and salamander to heat when I did my transom during that cold winter of 13. Could fire them up to get it to 80 than back them down. Left the bottom of the trailer open and garage door open a little for CO release. Don't want to be in danger of that. Keep the resins away from them as well.
Thanks guys for the feedback. I never noticed the Suzuki being Efi. I'm with you too Les mine runs like a top but the noise and mixing...... Done. Ready to have one line to the motors. I should pull the trigger this week hopefully.
