    Trailer Set Up

    How heavy is the boat? If it’s less than 800 lb then launch and load shouldn’t be very hard. Yes the winch needs to be raised. Check how the boat sits on the bunks and rollers. You want it supported evenly as you can get. If you raise the bow roller it might take the boat up off the...

    Old school Luhr Jensen trolling speed indicator.

    I know nothing of the Luhr Jensen weighted indicator. The older hummingbirds have a connection for a paddle wheel. But surface speed and lure speed are two different things. I just use my gps speed as a guideline.

    Is this 2k worth of trailer?

    How thick is the metal? Remember all the trailers that rusted out in a few years. They were paper thin.

    Family of 5, 19ft or 21ft?

    Boat layout! With 6 people I would like at least a 150hp. I could do it with a 19’. If you get a wide boat then it’s not much different towing a 19 vs a 22’.

    One fuel line to two engines

    One fuel line to two engines

    I guess the selector switch/valve. Is the best answer. I fish with a friend and he’s always telling me to go back and turn the switch so I guess I’ll get the co pilot to switch it when I’m driving lol.

    One fuel line to two engines

    I don’t see another outlet on the below deck tank. So a selector switch is the best option?

    One fuel line to two engines

    I searched for the answer but i can’t find it. I have one fuel tank and one line coming out. I have a main and a kicker. I was thinking of installing a selector switch but then I have to switch it all the time. What about installing a filter with two outlets? Would that stop one engine from...

    Getting impatient

    I’ve been working on my boat off and on for the last five months. Probably 200 hrs. Just a few little things left. It’s an awesome boat.
