The tax is only for the boat not the trailer. There are many that except an inflated amount because they think the trailer is included in the estimated value. Everyone should try to get their boat reassessed. I unfortunately am one that is paying too much because my county has assessed my boat highe...

Splitting hairs. Seriously? This is very important and your claims are wrong. I do not want the average person to beleive they cannot go and pour their own plastics or make lures for their own use regardless if it is patened or not. We legally can and people need to have the correct information. The...

It is if you manufacture and and sell a patented product. This would be infringement. Key word is sell. You need to get this right because it is unfare to the readers who are inclined to manufacture a patented product for their own use and not to sell. I personally own patents and have defended the...

Manufacturing is not infringement. You need to brush up on your patent law. A patent is worthless unless litigated. 1st step is a letter from Strike King to cease making the product, then infringement damages or a license agreement is next step. The real problem comes if the product is made in a cou...

That is not exactly how it works. There are claims that define its revolutionary characteristics. If there are claims A,B,& C then you cannot manufacture/sell something similar with claims A,B,C & D. Essetially just adding something to make it different. However if you accomplish the same be...

Nothing wrong with making, making the mold or even using. As long as they are not directly profiting from the sale of. I have many patents and have been responsiable for several others. There is really no law that will prevent the use as well. A patent is a defensive tool it allows the owner/holder ...

Where was the patent infringement in this story? Copying a patented design is not infringment. Selling a patented design is. It sounded like they where showcasing their ability.

Its not just Texas. It is not smart to be on pad running fast at night. I fished a night tourney at Nacimiento last year and around 10:30 I decided to come in and fish across from the marina. In the middle of the largest part of the lake going 6-7mph I hear screaming. I shut the big motor off and we...

You need a new lower unit. Buy Mercury and not SEI (china). You should try to find out the root cause. Often it is water intrusion. The lower unit needs to have its gear oil and water pump changed once a year. Also the prop needs to come off twice a year to inspect the prop-shaft for braided line wr...

This post takes the cake. It is the most ignorant post of the thread and I don't know how to argue with ignorance. It really amazes my how out of touch folks are when it comes to state budget issues. The gas tax hadn't been raised since 1994 and when it was it was raised by Republican Governor Georg...

Last time it had a meager result. The taxes are permanent and the improvements are temporary. Its trickery to pass new taxes. Not just fuel prices. All goods that are transported will cost more. As the cost of living goes up so will the labor costs and more business will leave the state. Jerry Brown...

Have to remove the Vault cap assembly to see if the end of the spindle is drilled and tapped.

Drew,
Great write up!
I have a 2014 trailer with the Vault system. How can I tell if it has the newer drilled spindles?

These are a very simple design. Its basically a bearing buddy with a special low melting point grease. The issue is that most shops do not know about them and want to over charge to cover the unexpected. The other issue is that because they are simple most over look a few subtleties of the design.

This can be redeemed for a brand new fully rigged Ranger Z175 which has a value of $27K. There is no catch to using this cert. Bring it to the dealer and all you pay for is the normal costs that you would pay for any new boat which is the ship&taxes. Buy new for the same as used. BTW I have offe...

The hull you inquired about is rated for 250hp. I would not go with anything lower then a 200hp V6. Good luck I have the Lund Crossover, which is 19ft length, 8 ft beam deep V, with the Merc. 150 four stoke, it is more than enough power.

I would go with a 225hp SHO. Under powering is usually a frustrating endeavor. Just purchased a new Tracker Targa 20, which is a 20'2" long boat with a full 8 1/2 foot beam. This boat has a Merc 150 hp four stroke, which I have on a 19'6" long boat with an 8 foot beam and it worked grea...

I'm not sure if the previous responder's realized your asking for a syn oil recommendation for a 4 stroke. I'm an engineer with IC engine experience and no affiliation with any oil company/blender.

We are way over regulated. We have become a non-thinking society and we are paying the price. I guess you can't argue with ignorance. Drew, You and I disagree. I think the government should regulate for the safety of it's people. Teddy Roosevelt said, "The roll of government is to protect capit...

Your viewing this in a very one sided way and soley based on emotion. Your not understanding what the other side is telling you. We don't need champagne & cavour regulations. We need a responsible government and responsiable citizens. People are suffering. Get a clue. The utility will be low and...

Unfortunately regulation does not make people smarter. Only more dependent and less wealthy. Just another way to generate revenue for the state. The average person can't do a cost benefit analysis because we don't know or can't comprehend the cost. It is irrational to just say it sounds good let's d...

PM sent. There is a cert for sale in the classifieds for this model that can save someone $5k+ on a new one. As the title says, anyone own a Ranger Z175? What would you say are pros and cons?

I know your situation well. Went from the slowest to the fastest. Might be throttling back to a 520 though since winning the co-havasu event and need to do something with the cert.

There seems to be a little speculation on what you are really asking. Which Nitro are you interested in? If its a 20 or 21ft which would require a substantial investment I would go with the dream Ranger. Also are you financing most or part of the new boat. The cost difference might only be a few dol...

If it has a current patent you do not need authorization if your not selling them. I doubt its patented.
