F350.... in order to give you the correct answer, you need to give us your WOT rpms, speed (GPS) and the height settings of the prop. If you have a jackplate, were it is set. You also need to provide us with the max rpm's your motor is supposed to turn. I would bet that there is a better prop for yo...

They don't call them (Rangers) lead sleds for nothing. I know my 492VS has come close to 77GPS with a 27P Tempest. I also know that there are guys running the same motor (Simon Motorsports 335HP) as mine back east on Gamblers, Strokers and Bullets up to 103mph GPS. It's all about the design of the h...

I know that I went 2 1/2 weeks ago and fished 3 days. I caught 31,42 and 27 on each of those days. the first day was only a little more than 1/2 day. Went back last week and the algae was totally in bloom. Launched out of the oaks and felt like I was backing the Ranger into shag carpet :shock: . Any...

Get yourself a Bravo 1 4-blade prop worked by Mark Croxton (Indiana). I have had 4 of them, and if you are looking to go slow on pad, my 22' Ranger will run as slow as 16mph on pad. There is no blow out when you get on it, and this prop will corner like no other,

I had that happen on my Ranger earlier this year. I called Eric Simon at Simon Motorsports (From the lake), and he walked me through checking the ground, to turning the dial on the back of the tach. 5-10mins later, it was business as usual. He said sometimes a little moisture can affect the tach, an...

I have Kaenon Kore Polarized... own 4 pair in 4 different shades. They run $200+. I bought 3 pair used for a bargain, and am set. Copper, Yellow and two shades of Gray. They have some of the best optics you can buy.

I can tell you that smallie beavers in watermelon red around incoming water in the middle will get you to the 50 fish mark. Most will be slot fish, but some of the bigger fish I caught yesterday were hanging off the edges in 20' of water. It is a serious mush bite, the dinks are smacking the baits, ...

492slayer

I've found that trimming down and allowing the vee to cut the waves helps out as well. I run a Bravo 1 4 blade prop on my 492VS Ranger. It allows me to stay on plane as slow as 15mph, and never blows out... it is a big off shore racing prop that has a ton of surface areas on the blades at 15" d...

So the weights aren't that far off from the CBC tournament.

492slayer

I lost a brand new Loomis Spinnerbait rod and Curado 100 Reel while unhooking a 20lb salmon last summer on the feather river... went to unhook the fish and it decided otherwise. You never seen a fish rip a rod out of your hand so fast

Well $500 donated to the cause

492slayer

Trying to launch at the dam would have been a bit of a nightmare. One lane, a 250 yard uphill climb to the parking lot.

492slayer

I would think that if you are certified quagga free at one California lake (Clear Lake), that you should be good to go at another. At this point it's all about revenue and not that little mussel IMO.

Finally able to get the page to load, payment taken care of... Thanks, Mark

492slayer

Tom, I tried to go to the CBC webpage to take care of my balance due for Oroville but the page would not come up. I recieve an error everytime I try to load it. On another note, I would like to give thanks to all the guys that ran the tourney at Clear Lake yesterday. Although the fish didn't coopera...

492slayer

Late, I have a bunch of these reels already, but could you tell me aside from the carbon fiber, what does the handle do performance wise for the money? I mean $100 for a handle

492slayer

Try one of these.... you wont be disappointed

492slayer

KB, you are right on the money. Everyone thinks their Ranger is going to smoke the competition, but these boats just aren't designed for speed. Sure the new Z Series will get you a bit more on top end, but at the end of the day if you are touching 70, you are doing better than most. I run a Ranger, ...

492slayer

Wicked, first of all most 26P Tempest are junk out of the box until worked by a good prop guy. Mark Croxton gets all my business. He has worked more than a half dozen props for me, and they always perform better than expected. If you are running a lead sled Ranger, don't expect to run 70-75 with a f...

492slayer

John, can you be more specific. Is it the Seastar or the outboard tilt mechanism? I have a lot of parts for the Seastar, but not sure what you mean by the Tilt part... Mark

492slayer

Thanks ASD, I overlooked that spot

492slayer

As the tournament is right around the corner (3/5) I was wondering if sign in, launch, etc information was going to posted. I looked at the CBC web page and didn't locate it there. Thanks, Mark

I guess it's like my G. Loomis warranty on the first IM6 rod I bought... Lifetime warranty. Period. I still have that rod I bought 27 years ago. I also have about ten others that I've bought since then. Now it's $60 to exchange over the counter, or send it back and be at the mercy of Loomis. (It is ...

492slayer

Well said Rick

492slayer

Robert, I hope you're not dumping your rods because they won't warranty it if you break it swinging a fish in the boat. No rods are designed to swing fish in a boat. Many people do without ever having a rod failure, others break them routinely and then complain because the rod was of a poor design. ...

492slayer

Steve, I think that you raise some valid questions with your post. Let me add my .01 to it. As I am in the far north region (Clear Lake to Shasta), and I have never been down to fish your areas in the southern part of the state, I can't comment on who or why that region has had issues with participa...

492slayer

Hey guys, it's all good... hell if you can't get a good argument going between fishermen once in a while, you might as well call it quits

492slayer

Kb, my mention of KVD being ballsy was from the perspective of believing that the fish was definately hooked in the back (no where near the head), so as to say that the fish may have been snagged. I've caught hundreds of fish over the years on crankbaits where the rear or front hooks ended up in the...

492slayer

$250 is a smoking deal in a brand new never run prop.

492slayer

I wasn't trying to get that argument going, but hooked in the back is a bit different than near the mouth. I'll agree that the fish was more likely than not swiping at the bait, but it wasn't even in the head. I'd hate to see someone question the catch and see a DQ happen when a guy is dominating li...

492slayer

KVD pulled it off again. How about that last fish of his that was snagged in the back? Pretty ballsy to out that one in the livewell IMO

492slayer

This time of year, secondary points and incoming water

492slayer

My nod goes to Eric Simon at Simon Motorsports. He's down south in Ramona, outside San Diego. From all I've heard, Calvin can't be beat as well. My motor was built by Eric, so either he wrenches on it or I do...

Check your PM's

492slayer

I still have a few of those also. Bought my first three Bantam Magnumlite 2000SG's with the fighting drag in 1985. At one point I had 5 or 6 of them. I sold a few of the non-fighting drag models a while back because I wasn't using them. I still use these for flipping jigs because you can lock the sp...

First of all. I don't fish tournaments on a regular basis. the motor on the back of my Ranger was mounted at the factory... run the serial numbers, it is a 225EFI. It has had some enhancements to say the least. I figured I'd get some second looks with the graphics I had done. USCG Regulations do not...

492slayer

I don't fish many tournaments, but will be fishing the CBC Northern divison. What the heck, can't catch fish running on pad...

Zoom Zoom

Twister, the motor is dyno'd at 335HP. It moves my 22' Ranger pretty good. I ran a B/B 27P A45 Tempest 76.24gps. When I run my Bravo 1 Props, it will top out at 74-75mph. But hang on, because the Bravo 1 will lift that boat up and slingshot it out of the hull in about 3-4 seconds.

492slayer

The fish naturally want to ride in the boat with the nicest designs

492slayer

Yeah, those look pretty good, but if you want real custom and top quality work, you need to contact Darryl at IguanaGrafix.com. Here is some of the work he recently did for me... http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp212/492vslayer/IMG_1666.jpg http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp212/492vslayer/IMG_...

I have the Navionics Lakes West. I also have the black "Otter Box" cover which is water proof unless you submerge it. The only thing open is the speaker ports. It is an awesome cover. Not cheap ($50 at A.T.&T.).Other cool apps that I have and use a lot are "The Weather Channel Max...

For all those that are concerned about the tenths or hundredths of an ounce with this new record, consider this for a moment... in 1932 when Perry caught the record bass, he was fishing for dinner, not sport. The scales they used to weigh the fish at the time had no certification, in fact could have...

492slayer

I saw two at Oroville yesterday. I've seen many up there for some time. I've also seen them over at Clear Lake.

492slayer

I take care of mine on my 3.0L Merc EFI.... What motor do you have?
