right now in bassboat central there is a poll going on, on how many coils are going out on people--go to bbc boards, and then to mercury 3.0 high performance forum--out of 101 people, the failure rate was stated at 86 out of 606 or 15 %--is this an ok failure rate, i dont know--1 guy was on his 10th...

XMAN

ya kb thats exactly what i was thinking --a 4 stroke--lets see, for starters i'll take a Z518 with a 150 or 200 4 stroke yamaha, i think i prefer the 150 4s yami with its 4.62 holeshot and better milege numbers--and i sure wont care that i didnt max out on horsepower, now that just might be the tick...

XMAN

sent my prayers on fast-track--xman

XMAN

ohhh, just wait till your fuel rails start going, yekes

XMAN

I hear they went though 4 differant suppliers for the coil issue--i was talking to a guy last week who has went though 6 of them--a couple of them in clearlake awhile back---i not bashing merc and was going to put a new one on a new bass boat, but now i'm thinking yamaha with a 5 yr warr of course--...

XMAN

And here i'm loaded with cash and cant find nothin---damn--or i should say figure out what i want--i will say back east has some damn nice boats for nice prices--everytime i check a boat out, the boats good but the motor scares me--i do think i'm heading towards a yamaha--maybe a nice 482 with a v-m...

XMAN

Im looking for one like that too---xman

XMAN

XMAN

luckily it is on the east coast-------2001=optiblow

XMAN

bump--

XMAN

i guess everything i look at has a blown motor, new powerhead, or new lower unit and these are newer boats--then knowing this you get scared when a boat has none of the forementioned YET--so i guess im leaning towards something new [RANGER] since now prices are good and 5 year warranties are free on...

XMAN

man i got the cash in hand,and ive been checking everywhere, and i cant find nothing--i getting dizzy-----xman

XMAN

i would like to know good or bads about this year engine---engine im looking at has say 200 hrs---i hear in that years model the gearcases were being replaced like crazy and people were standing in line for the powerheads--i may have answered my own question----xman

XMAN

XMAN

hey wiz, what are you doing up at 1;30 am---i think that guy was yelling for ELMER at hogans--that TEXAS T is gonna buy a boat for meeee-----xman

XMAN

i watch the financial markets all day long and i am starting to trade oil funds--heard that oil traders are now looking at the 2015 $500 calls--im assuming that currently these are very very cheap to play--but there is interest in these non-the-less--now i dont think this will happen, but even close...

XMAN

could someone tell me the differance between these two--also likes and dislikes----xman

XMAN

save yourself a ton of money and buy some bass pro shop 1lb spools of 17# of 20#--i've used it for years in the delta and for stripers also----XMAN

XMAN

I bought 999 shs of an airline stock and made 99 dollars in 99 minutes--XMAN

XMAN

I'd say move up to a 17-18ft bass boat with a 115 on it--i'm also looking for a new boat, cash in hand--the more rod martin keeps talking about that 177 the more interested i get--at 300 lbs and not much tipping i assume, thats pretty good--i cant have much tipping when flipping or cranking the delt...

XMAN

went out last thursday in my usual dove counting spot near antioch and right now i should see during the last 1/2 hour 100-200 birds--i counted 4, yep just 4 on a overcast day--whatever was here left sunday and monday--bob simms saturday show this morning reported alot less birds in valley than 2 we...

XMAN

two of the lakes look like guitars

XMAN

andy, i was going to post something on this subject soon as i am in the market for a used boat--i have cash --when i see a boat, i go straight to nada and look at average price--then i may add to it, but usually dont to come up with a price--I HAVE FOUND THAT RANGERS, yes im yelling, are 5-7k over n...

XMAN

does anybody know when upgrading to 5.0, do i have to uninstall 4.3 or can i just download 5.0 on top of it--google earth site really does not say to uninstall 4.3 first----thx-----xman

XMAN

had a 79 179v ranger and never saw one

XMAN

now dont get me wrong on this one, i am a ranger man all the way and am looking for one now--i know a very promanant delta fisherman who told me 4 yrs ago that 'man i got alot of stress cracks in this boat'--i didnt know what to say or think-- what causes them--do you know?--again my next boat will ...

XMAN

8-10-09---i went to my usual dove counting place and counted 109 dove during the last 45 minutes--the last 2 years ive counted 200-300--if this holds the week before the opener, i say we'll see 1/2 of normal--i'll make another count in a week---xman

XMAN

i was on you tube this morning watching some cal delta bass videos--i think some may be in agreement with me on this--i watched who i wanted to see and on the side bar you can chose whoever, whenever--ok heres my point, i didnt care if music was playing in the lead-up, but it was extremely annoying ...

XMAN

thx guys for comments--will try some of them----xman

XMAN

hey kopper, how did you exterminate them----xman

XMAN

i guess with all the fishermen in the delta now, everybody is pushing them critters to the middle of town--yea i got a momma and i think babies in my attic--does any body know of a trapper in the antioch area that can get these guys--i have a trap up in the attic with catfood and anchovies but it ma...

purple 8 inch mann's jelly worm texas -rigged and hang -on------xman

XMAN

I would think if you are thinking of a 20 footer, buy the 20 now--new boats after 2 years are down 20k so dont lose twice--higher gunwhales in the wind could move ya abit, keep it low--i'm suprised at how low a 521 sits, likewise a 520---xman

XMAN

MTBE is what the refiners had to add to the gas for 4 yrs. to oxygenate it and help octane ratings per EPA--a mechanic told me awhile back, this stuff eats seals and carbs in autos and boats and to just watch problems start occuring in outboards--due some DD and see what i mean--buy a boat hopfully ...

XMAN

I know where i can get a super deal on a ranger 520vx --the problem i have is that it i have never driven a boat with a hotfoot throttle, and it is on a tandem axle trailer which i may want to save my back from some of the turning i might have to do by hand pushing it into place--question, is the ta...

XMAN

also keep in mind when buying a used boat that MTBE was phased out by 2006 in the gas--that stuff was not an outboards best friend or cars either-----xman

XMAN

You said you might go as high as 20k, well if you add acouple grand more you may be able to pick up a new ranger 177tr from a dealer with all the warr. you may also check with BOAT TRADER and just follow the prompts for boats around you--also a new ranger dealer near fresno may help, like C&C---...

XMAN

Yea baby now your talking--how about it moderators, a fishing financial section to help us trade ideas to make alittle gas money and if we get lucky could pay our new z520 boat payments--believe me there is some good stuff coming up in the markets that i'll be playing but not quite yet--i gettin exc...

XMAN

i hear ya---alot of oppurtunities out there, day to day i never know what im buying---i just follow the action and try not to get a big head--like fishing you will get humbled real quick---xman

XMAN

hey smitty are you a day trader--i am, and i'll be playing these upcoming higher gas prices like i did last year--DXO and maybe some CVX, XOM, and HAL---DONT complain play-em--should be alot of cheap 520s coming for sale soon-----xman

XMAN

it was the meanest, thee baddest, one little lure you've ever seen lure--it was the unknown lure you used when nothing else worked lure--you threw away all of your other lures to use these lures--you traded everything you had to make sure you had a 10 year supply of these little guys--it was a lure ...

XMAN

AHH--someone else uses my delta go to bait--hhhmmmm, i guess i wasn't the only one--remember these from years past i presume----xman

XMAN

ya, what you hit was an old barge with beams and large spikes sticking up, only to be seen at a -1 tide but can be hit on a +1 tide--hitting that aint nothin like hitting seagull island, it'll stop ya cold and launch ya like a rocket--us old hook rats know where most of these are, huh cooch----xman
