Daniel, looks like you've got yourself a fine fishing rig now. A little elbow grease, upgrading, cleaning, and polishing, and you'll be the envy of the block.
P.S. Get that damned thing off the lawn. Do you know how redneck that is? LOL

with the yammer you'll have a 6150rpm rev limiter. if your in the 5500-5900 rpm ball park at wot thats it... keep one eye on the water pressure gauge. anything below 18psi at wot is BAD...

Thanks for all the congratulations, everybody. With a little help, this boat should be looking good before too long. Just need some new seats, an electrical bug figured out, and some time behind the wheel (that's the fun part ). Oh yeah...the guy didn't have the key to all the storage compartments. Anybody got an idea where I could get one, or where to get new tumblers and how to get them replaced. Thanks.

Easy, Bryce...the pic of it on the grass is at my BIL's house, where we stayed last night so I could go get the boat early this morning. For right now, it's in my driveway (as you can see in the third pic). Unfortunately, a city ordinance says that a boat can't be in your front or side yard, it must be in the back. The gate to my backyard is about 6" too narrow for that boat to fit. Anybody want to come and help me move a fence post or two?

Congrats Daniel, hope you have many safe years of enjoyment with your new toy. I love that picture of Caitlyn sitting in "her boat" with that big grin. She is a pretty girl.
That's a good looking boat. I like it.

Congrats Daniel! Like I told you on the phone, there is nothing like a new boat. I hope you all get a lot of safe and fun years out of her.

That's a great looking rig, Daniel.
I would think that with all the deck space, Louann shouldn't have to worry about accidentally hooking her foot again. -Mark |

I've got a question for ya, which prop were you turning, the 19p or 25p?
With those high RPM's, I would guess to say it's the 19p. You might try using the 25p. You shouldn't have to worry about over revving with the 25p. -Mark |

Nice boat, I'm sure you will enjoy it. Now I know who to contact next time I come to Flowood on business. Once again, congratulations.

Daniel, you mentioned Louann wanting (demanding? ) a ski pole. That 19 should be a great ski prop. You'll need the extra oomph to get er out of the hole with a skier for an anchor, and unless they're suicidal, they won't want to ski over 45 mph anyway.

If the boat hits 70, great...if it hits 60, I'm just as happy.

Hey MississippiBoy, I visit the Champion boards over on BBC a lot and they have a pretty cool setup chart available there. It is specific to Champion boats, but I'm sure you could use the Yamaha setup section to get a feel for what you should be using. Your rig is probably pretty close in size/weight/storage to the 202. It's listed as using either a 23p or 25p prop.

I dont understand Ski Poles. I have skied my whole life behind a boat with a harness that clips on each side of the outboard at the trailer anchor points.
Congrats on the boat. I am in your shoes now, i have the boat bug super bad. This monkey would really be kickin my butt if i had any money to actually buy one... |
