Sounds good..... hey i've only got a 200HO on the wifes boat but i'll find myself a 32 or 34 pitch! lol ... it'll still spin it

lol

**baja200merk** · 10-26-2016, 07:32 AM

I have done the trip a few times with a 200 and a 34 no problem. I'll be running a 200ho also well that's what it started as

. I-command says 7-8mpg at 90 ~4700rpm but when I have passengers and do 50-60 it says 4-6.

Brett - Just fill up the tank in the boat and have a few full jugs at the ready in the back of the truck. Ramp is about half way between the hang out spot and the gulf. As others have said. Bring a spare prop along just in case. You will be fine. Be prepared to meet some of the nicest people on the planet. If you take some spotted cow with, you will make some new friends real quick

.

Wish we could come, but gonna have to wait until spring. Hopefully, we can get the dates early so that we can plan the time off of work. Have fun and be safe.

I have a brand new 28 x 15 Performance Propellers SC3 that is a blem. The hub fit a little loose and Tim at Performance put a small weld on each side to tighten it up. My customer didn't want it and sent it back.
Tim said he has done this before and never had an issue. You could also just use a slightly thicker rubber strip on the sides of the Flo torque hub.
Thought I would see if any of you want it before I send it back to him. It's never been mounted.

$400 cash at the run in my hand takes it home. Thats well below my cost.

Ive got 60 pounds of Tuna from our trip last week to Venice Louisiana. Wish there was a way to prepare it for the party but its not really the kind of thing you can put out. I might bring some though.

Dragging that 7th cyl around hurts mileage but we can test ur theory if you have a opti I can swing by and borrow. They are BIA bolt pattern and the boats got a Merc harness already

This is the best river run in Florida. I have taken the center console at 45mph and had a blast.

Tom the mileage was calculated by a computer and backed up by GPS. The video below was filmed on a flip phone just like yours
