Or my skills. These files are huge, 20-30 mb and I don't have the
software to knock them down. They are quick time files.




I got them ok way up here! Just a bit slow loading...especially the first
one.

Your boat really moves along with that 25hp.
What model year did you say the motor is?

1984 Evinrude.

I think it would run like a scared rabbit, at this load, with a
taller prop. It's just loafing along on that one, but runs
really great.

Someone on that lake has a taller prop on a nail in their garage.
The replaced it with one of those stainless beasts that will get
stolen, sooner or later. Look in their garage for the painted
one...(c;

I do not know from props, what is "taller"?

Steeper, more water is pulled over it at the same RPM, making a
light boat like yours go faster at the same RPM.

The blades are at a higher angle without cavitating making the
prop go further in the water on each revolution....

Ask the guys at the outboard shop what they'd recommend when you
take the boat in to show them. Speed goes up...fuel consumption
may even go down, not a bad thing at all.

More pitch. The prop tries to advance further with each rotation,
similar to high gear.

Hi Don!

I responded to your accusations yesterday and even asked you a few
questions. Did you miss that one? I believe this was it:

************************************************** ********
The 'advice' was worth what he paid for it.

How's the boat, the mom, the son, and the wife?

When my daughter dropped out of college and decided to make a nest in my
house, I started charging her $200 a month rent. For some reason she found
this hard to abide. So she moved into an apartment with several other
girls. That lasted about six months, and she then decided to return to
college. That entitled her to move back into the house. She then became a
nurse.

Just a thought, for what it's worth.


So now you've lowered yourself to the Dingy Dan level.
Now it's not just my mom...it's my wife & son too!
Funny thing...you don't expect ant better from Dan, but you tried to pass
yourself off as a 'law & order' man.
I guess that old saying...'it all comes out in the wash' does make sense
here.


Did I say something offensive, or are you just looking for a made up excuse
to be rancorous?

How would we know anything about your wife, your mom, or your son if you
hadn't told us? I passed along a tip that worked with my daughter. I don't
believe I said anything at all about your son or your wife.
************************************************** ***********************

I would think that after that accusation and the 'rancorous' post of yours,
you would have responded.

That's a good plan actually. When my oldest son wanted to live home
after college we charged him rent with the understanding that he'd get
it back if he went to graduate school. Not happy at the time but he's
a lawyer now.

Thanks. Took it back out tonight with the little one. My kid swam
whilst I fished. Got a nice bass and a pretty good trout, but it was a
slottie so I had to throw it back. Slot is 12-16" on Crystal Lake.
Seemed to run a bunch slower tonight with the 90 extra pounds, dunno,
might have been my imagination. Had an electrical problem tonight,
fish finder came on for a second and then off every time I tried to
start it up. October and the water is still over 70 degrees, crazy,
I'm lovin' it...
