7 7/8" seems like you should be pretty good, kinda odd that at that depth you would experience blow out. Are you running wide open and trimmed out, and then going into a turn without trimming down? ...

Lund seems to be mounting the motors one or two holes too high from what I am hearing and experiencing riding with friends in their newer Lunds. If you are blowing out while turning your motor is...

For years and years I ran a 30 lb thrust troller on my 14 foot lund, with no problems. I still run the same troller on my cousin's 16' Tracker Grizzley when I go to Arkansas a couple times a year. ...

What is really going to chap some hides will be when the panfish limits drop to 5 bluegills and 5 crappies per person. And for the record, I am 100% in favor of dropping the limits on panfish, as...

Once you get the idle air controller fixed on that motor, it should be a solid performer. I have the 115 ProXS on the back of my Ranger 681VS and it has been an awesome upgrade from the old 2+2...

My 1998 681 has wood in the decks/floors but I haven't found any wood anywhere else. I love the boat and hung a Mercury 115 ProXS 4 Stroke on the back and have an Ultrex up front. There are a few...

I wonder why they didn't put a recessed trolling motor pedal in this boat. I realize that a lot of guys will run Terrovas and Ulterras, but with the Lowrance and Garmin variants of GPS trolling...

Tempest 17P is likely the prop of choice for an 1850 Impact XS with a 150. 19P might be just a bit too much. The 17P will give nice holeshot and probably high 40s to low 50s top end loaded light.

I would mimic what one of the other guys said earlier and rather than do a three bank, maybe consider keeping the two bank and adding another charger, single bank, located in the stern of the boat. ...

I guess I see quite a few compromises with that boat design. That kicker mount doesn't look all that robust, maybe it was just the angle it was shown from but looks underwhelming. Max of 10" graphs...

I just don't get the fascination with the Drotto latch? With every modern glass boat you have a bunk trailer under it. Every bunk trailer I have ever seen you can wet the bunks and drive right up...
