FYI:
BBT just pulled the plug on their February 27 tournament at Berryessa
Either due to Napa County or B.O.R.
Fishing is not closed ...... just tournaments.
Hopefully this tournament season does not turn into a disaster like last season

I own a 203 and I can fit mine in my standard size garage. Swing away tongue and two wheel dollys on the front 2 wheels of the tandem axle and turn it by hand at an angle...If there’s a will there’s a way!!! What kind of dolly got link? Here is the "Go-Jack" Link ..... these are expensive...

Why trash Ranger? The title should be edited to read MERCURY MOTOR problems....Or...Bass Pro / Mercury Dealer unresponsive (if that is the case). It is NOT the boat manufacturer's fault when the motor bolted on the transom fails. Perhaps break-in procedure was not followed? Maybe it should read: &q...

MichaelB

Your problem is with Mercury not Ranger and if was 40 minutes old it is most certainly covered under warranty. Have you returned it to the BassPro where you bought it and told them it's not running ? It is frustrating you have spent a fortune for a new boat, and are having catastrophic problems. Can...

During the days of the "twin tunnels", they were both going to plow down the middle of Woodward. Would not be a stretch to figure it was built there for future access. Single tunnel scheme, don't know if it follows the same path. Mike, do you know who paid for it? Website says it was fund...

Russos has been ultra-conservative following State & County COVID guidelines. They are the first to "shut-down" and the last to re-open. As a result, most "big events", especially from March to June were cancelled. Other area marinas remained open, when Russos shut down. Othe...

FYI:
Called Russos.
They will be closed, including ramp for two weeks.

MichaelB

Russos has their ramp blocked and are closed.
Is this for the holiday ?
Or Covid related ?

Fortrex "recessed opening" works on an Ultrex ..... not sure on Ghost

Good luck!

The additional cost of extending the warranty would have been best negotiated as part of the sales price with the Dealer ..... and not on the phone with Mercury as an "add-on"

MichaelB

You should have 3 yrs now ..... I would add warranty to that for as long as I could.
The coverage is costly. Pretty sure you can add 4 years.

MichaelB

Am not a Humminbird expert, but do know the Ultrex I-Pilot Link will "connect" with your HB Graphs and allow multiple other features to be used, including adding waypoints to your screen which the Ultrex will follow. This is in addition the mega down and mega side imaging. The Ultrex US2 (...

Here we go again ! Once there are only 15% of ICU beds available in your "region", the orders take effect. You can work, go to store, go to Dr. Can not be with another household, Order lists about 40 acceptable recreation activities .... and fishing ain't one of them. Don't say you can fis...

Has anyone seen this E15 Notice on a Northern Calif gas pump ?

MichaelB

As noted previously, it sounds as if you snapped the control cable in your foot pedal. There are two separate electrical systems in the Ultrex: one powers the prop and the other powers the steering module, which is your power steering. With your boat on the trailer and the Ultrex deployed, does the ...

How many hours ?
Weblink has a different price

If you are planning on fishing competitively in tournaments you will require a functioning and aerated livewell. Does not need to be "built-in" ..... there are kits available to convert ice chests into a livewell, but they do not function as well as a built in livewell. It is very much fro...

Tacmed wrote:$5000 or less

$5000 budget means the boat is likely 25+ years old.
Need to get real lucky at that price.

Catmantwo wrote:Why not launch the boat using the RV?
If it is towable with your RV, then it should be launchable.

Agree with Catman.
RedBud Park has a huge ramp and turn around area. Easily maneuver an RV+Boat
Huge parking lot also

Levi:
This is the second post for this boat you have tried to "delete" when complaints about your sales tactics have been raised. What do you think ..... your'e going to destroy the evidence and start over again ?

MichaelB

Great Description Levi !
How about some details on the boat & motor.

I had C&C Marine "glass shop" repair a few deep scratches tn 3-color gelcoat into the fiberglass.
Did an excellent job.
Before they did the work, I had a quote from highly regarded "Smooth as Glass" in Riverbank, and the numbers were very close.

Check out Russell Marine Products website. They have deals/bundles to get electronics and trolling motor together. They also have military discount and payment options. https://www.russellmarineproducts.com/product-p/rmp-h10biabt-1.htm Another plus for Russell Marine: I have bought an Ultrex and a ...

Amazing news that Tournament Bass fishing is too dangerous ..... but somehow their Casino remains open for business.

MichaelB

Any recommendations to remove the Clear Lake algae from boat hull ?
Fiberglass/gelcoat .....

MichaelB

No idea ..... but you are right, they have events pending 3 or 4 weekends a month in 2021.
Just what we need, another tournament circuit.

The BBT Delta Wine on June 27th was none of the above. The weigh in was a "drive-by" on the street that circles the park. You load boat and exit the parking lot and turn to the right and get in line for the weigh-in. Word of caution: In the morning, you were lined-up to get thru the kiosk ...

MichaelB

Although Ladds is in a nice area, nothing is very secure in Stockton ..... there are multiple hotels on March Lane between the freeway and Ladds, doubt you will be close to your boat.

MichaelB

Dave, when your livewells are operating properly that's all fine. But how is recirculating 90+ degree water for the day compare to pumping in oxygen? Some fishermen don't seem to understand that it isn't the water temp alone that is the cause. It's because there is no oxygen in the high temp water....

MichaelB

You're in luck. This guy is retired, an Authorized Minn-Kota Repair Station ....... he works out of his house, and is very reasonable.

Dont need an oxygenator if live wells are working correctly. Ive fished New Jenn in Past and they run a good circuit. They have had drive by live well checks in past . We used to have to drive by with lids open and live wells running or you went to back of line until they were working.I think in su...

MichaelB

NewJen Rules:
"All boats must have an aerated live well suitable to sustain a tournament limit in releasable condition"

CLEARLY obvious this did not occur.

I have a reliable and accurate method of determining weight of bass:
Take the anglers report of fishes weight ..... and deduct 40% for true weight !

MichaelB

Just received notice that lodging for "travel & leisure" will be opening in Lake County on June 12.
This came from Hotel/Marina where I have reservations .....

MichaelB

Might also be noted that my good friend Mark Poulson did not "author" the OP, it was copied from a "Restore the Delta" email distribution. ANYONE who fishes the Delta should be grateful beyond words that RTD is out there trying to protect our Delta. Thank you Mark and keep it up....

I think the wednesday nite tournaments are back, don't know about the well liked videos.

Would suck to be the co-angler on that boat !

MichaelB

Having had to re-schedule Clear Lake reservations now twice, All hotels & lodging in Lake County for "travel and leisure" are closed. Middle of June opening of lodging may be optimistic. These guys are getting killed right now being closed.

MichaelB

All Lake County lodging for "travel & leisure" is closed.
May remain closed for a while if Lake County follows suit with County of SF

Good luck with that wish ..... in California LM Bass are a non-native invasive species. Half of our legislators would prefer bass were eradicated.
