Boatmasters is a first rate operation. I suspect they are working a couple months out at least

The carpet in my 2000 Triton is still in decent shape. Must have been good quality carpet to start with

I’m thinking they may need to get a room

Caleb, any idea what the fine is for not obeying the new law?

Now I KNOW he raised you right Caleb!

Just a heads up.. Orwood Resort has installed a machine that only accepts credit cards to pay for a launch. They no longer accept cash. Sounds like cash is Princess! :mrgreen: How much is Orwood charging for a launch these days? Back in the day it was $10 on weekends and $8 during the week. Just a ...

I encourage everyone to contact our representatives and let them know we oppose Governor Greasy Newsome’s proposal. This link makes it really easy.

My good buddy is an avid golfer and the other day he was telling me how ridiculous it is that he and some of his golfing friends are constantly buying the latest and greatest clubs, golf balls, shoes, etc. He said it was never ending and no matter what you buy, within six months there is a new prod...

Not sure but it kicks the crap outta a board full of Icasts! I like this information because I follow the Bass Pro Tour. I also appreciate that MLF is vigilante about enforcing their rules.

You guys are dreaming if you think it’s going to stop. Hasn’t stopped in the 50 years I’ve been driving. Truck registration is something to bitch about. Boat registration is cheap. I don’t know if the truckers union is in bed with the demorats or they have no power Ca banned the operation of trucks...

Sacramento politicians stick it to us all the time. Look at the boat luxury tax. They charge you sales tax on the value of your boat, even though you haven't sold it! Yep my luxury tax on my 23 year old bass boat is more now than pre-pandemic because he value of used boats has increased. They get u...

I doubt it was a scam and he probably shouldn’t have said that. With prices of things being what they are I think he was justified in complaining. Good customer service goes a long way in the world we live in and if he wound up with a free charger it seems he deserves at least that with all the leg ...

Yep and 2 stroke oil ain’t getting any cheaper my 175 Ficht does pretty well on oil usage

Funny thing about Yamaha motors I'm picking up a 1987 390v ranger with a 225 Yamaha motor it has 175 hours on the original motor it has been under a custom ranger cover for 17 year now in a big body shop the owner passed away 16years ago. My mother in law wreck her truck and the body shop doing the...

Regarding the three or so mile straight channel down on Victoria, a few years ago lots of weed lines on the center berm were poisoned. Can anyone tell me if there’s any semblance of a weed line on that berm nowadays? This channel has always been pretty popular with skiers and wakeboarders.

Is that a McFast Jiggin4bass?

I think Paradise Point in Stockton may be a good option and if you’re willing to drive to Livermore, Boatmasters has been servicing my Evinrude for over twenty years. I suspect the wait is shorter at Paradise between those two.

Contact your insurance company and see what they will cover. If you are looking to replace the fender you'll want to go with someone that works with your boat manufactures trailer. PS your insurance may not cover the bunks unless it was a result of the collision but I'm sure whoever you find will w...

Anyone fish Woodward anymore. I used to catch some good largemouths there back in the day.

Years ago on the Delta I pulled into a tule cove at the entrance of Franks coming from Holland cut. I put my motor in the water and started fishing. Next thing I know I see a guy with his boat parked in the back of the cove not fishing. He explained he was fishing a tournament, he already fished the...

Last time I fished Pedro 4” curl tailed purple ringworms were the hot ticket

I haven’t fished Pedro in at least 20 years either. I have a cousin that fishes it often and it’s predominantly spotted bass these days.

Typical Greasy Newscum…….

Congrats Caleb and Pops! 51 boats on the Dirty D nothing cheap about that win!

That’s a road we’ve all been down it’s never fun

Hey guys my 2000 Evinrude Ficht 175 needs a new starter. Have any of you ever installed one on an Evinrude? It looks pretty straight forward three bolts.

My cousin whacked em pretty good on numbers Wednesday at Don Pedro all spots with a 14 pound limit

They show this exact model on Amazon as no longer available and needless to say there are crappy customer reviews

My boat broke down out on Empire Cut today and a total stranger named Danny Peluso towed us about 3 miles back to the Whiskey Slough ramp. You did us a real solid Danny thanks again!

My understanding is a prop can be reworked two sizes either direction. A 21 can be worked to a 19, 20, 22 or 23

monte300

I also recommend a second opinion on reworking your prop. When I got my new Triton TR19 with a 175 Evinrude back in 2000 it came with a 25 pitch four bladed bass prop. I could never figure out how to keep it from chine walking at WOT. I had that prop worked down to a 23 and I love it. This was never...

A couple years ago the tilt on my 2000 175hp Evinrude crapped out. Boatmasters tried to install a repair kit and it didn’t work out. They didn’t charge me for the work and informed me that a new unit is $2k. They had a good used unit they sold me for $500 so far so good.

monte300

Thanks for sharing Caleb. The little lady is a pretty good stick!

monte300

Besides wood and carpet new nuts and bolts are probably needed

Do you need new runners or just carpet on them? Fernando at Whiskey Slough replaced my runners and carpeted them. He did a really nice job at a reasonable price.
