Made a rooky mistake loading my boat, any recommendations for fiberglass repairs in Redding? Nothing structural, a cosmetic ding that I see every time I walk by in the garage.
Thanks for any help!

Unless you always fish alone, get the 2nd console, give your partner a break. I am really an old guy and use the console to help secure balance.

Re: Big new California reservoir on track

Re: Cheaters?
I have noticed that emptying the tub on the scale is a rather casual operation (as not always done). Since each weigh in bag is the same why not use a hanging type scale with a set time (say 15 seconds?) from water to weigh in?

Re: Frustrations with Castaic and Southern California Lakes
Why is Castaic being so anal about inspections when it already has the Quagga infestation. Pyramid has Quagga Mussels and is connected to Castaic by a large pipe. Piru used to have strict entry until it was found to have Quagga Mussels. Now you just pay and enter.

The motor is the V8 Pro XS 200HP. There is no torque tab. Max RPM is 6200. I am sure with the right conditions I would turn 6200.
I am not interested in max speed, looking for something that will give best handling.

Going to buy a spare for my 2021 Z19 Pro. Factory prop is a 23P Fury. Max RPM 6000. Unless you are perfectly trimmed, steering is very hard on left turns. A 24 Bravo has been suggested, looking for more input! Any help?
