    Engine hours

    So the Hobbs meters I had to take the readings on before takeoff on detection flights were lying? We use ETMs in control panels for pump control and the hours on the meters match what the data logging is saying for run times. Sounds like how the hour meters are installed is what causes the...

    It is killing me, the boat is paid for just waiting to pick it up.

    looking for a place to install pole holders on my bow runner.

    Problem is boats are made for fishing or for water sports, there have been companies that tried to make boats that were good at both and well it is never without compromises.

    1989 Mastercraft prostar 190

    My son and his buddy showed up to waterski yesterday afternoon, they both tried the big easy. My son got up with both feet in the bindings pretty easily. You defiantly want to stay in the 24-28 mph range as suggested, it gets a little sketchy at higher speeds.

    When do you pull your freshwater boat?

    I do not worry about fuel level, I use startron to treat fuel and add a little extra to the tank before I drive the boats over to the landing when I pull the boats for the season.

    Why I do not have new boats.

    Pontoon has been parked since the party weekend when the pontoon was driven the length of the lake with the anchor down, resistance was felt so full throttle with occasional "beeping" from the motor. During boat maintenance discovered an overfill of oil better known as gas in the oil.
