  1. I have an 18foot starcraft I fish out to 300 350 out of Braddock and Sandy. Just watch waves and wind direction. Its nothing for lady o to go from calm to 3-4 footers or more in an hour. At the end of the day its all what u feel comfortable with.

  2. 2006 trophy its not a crime at all. Was just curious. Not everyone is dishonest. I always give ppl the benefit of the doubt but there has been a lot of dishonest ppl on here. That is y you find so many ppl r leery thats all. Its a fantastic looking vessel and I'm sure anyone will be happy with it. Wish you the best of luck with the sale. 

  3. I am no professional by any means but I very rarely ever got skunked and haven't been skunked since I got a fish hawk. My best advice to u is if u have to change plugs every 20 hrs then do it. I have a 1979 75 stinger it is loud! I've never had an issue with it interfering with the fh tho. Try changing the location of the fh that would probably help. I was out this past Sunday and last Sunday and I had to do a surface speed of 5.5-6.2 going west to get my ball speed at 2.6-3.1 heading east surface speed was 1.9-2.2 for down speed to get 2.8-3.4 slowest I could get the boat. 

     

    As for leads on my riggers I run about 35-40' back then put the line to my rigger. For my dipsey I run 10foot of lead then hook on my dipsey then another lead to lure 8-10' of fluorocarbon. Lead core I run a 15' fluorocarbon lead. 

  4. Fished this evening out there from 6-8 went 3 for 4. Nice 15lb king a 15lb laker and another 12lb king. All released to fight another day. All fish caught on veggie spoon 120fow down 85. My 8 year old son lost the 4th one. He wanted to do it all on his own. Did great but horse him a little too much. Spoon came out about 50 from back of the boat. Didn't see what it was but it looked to b a pike.

  5. Thanks guys for the info. I did see the danger marine videos very informative. I found a guy out of port bay that will do the seals pump and impeller. Rather leave the motor work to the pros. 

  6. Looking for a trustworthy reliable person to do seals on my 1979 75hp stinger. Had a guy lined up from the fall said he'd do it in the spring. I called him in February he said to call back the end of March. Been trying to reach him now for 3 weeks with no luck. Most marina's won't touch it bc it's too old they say. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thought of doing it myself just don't know if I have the right tools. Any input on doing it myself would be great also. Thanks!
