Release 20 center console fishing boat drop $8500
CouesPursuit replied to D4HighDesert's topic in Classified Ads
This is a fiberglass hull, correct? -
This 40HP is a workhorse and I really do love it. That load pictured runs about 24 MPH upstream, 28 MPH downstream, 29 MPH empty on a reservoir. My previous 60HP on the same boat was 35 MPH empty for reference. A previous 55HP powerhead in the original 60HP outboard was about 33 MPH. The 40 - 60 HP OMC's in that era have mostly interchanging parts, including the prop size. Yes, I've had multiple engines and almost every repair imaginable to keep it running over the last 20 years that I've owned it. Lessons learned - 60 HP - change the impeller every year, especially when in service as a duck boat. 55 HP - running an engine with a sieve-leaking carb, even to get back to the ramp safe in bad circumstances, will scour cylinders! 40 HP - regular maintenance and learning the engine is worth every penny and effort. Keep fuel stabilizer in the tank and run the engine frequently.

Skip 25hp if you want 3 guys and gear. 1. My boat used to have a console but 35 year-old failing parts were easy to rip out when a tiller became available on this site. For a boat this size and the utility I use it for, I couldn't be happier. I wouldn't go out of my way to replace a working console setup, though. 2. Buy a CNC for whatever outboard you get, this also takes care of 3 and is just sweet to have. Each adjustment of the trim through various parts of the channel, in different wind conditions, with different loads, or a dog walking bag and forth, is money well spent. 4. Yes. 5. You don't track deeper than your prop. My 14ft experience was in your same hull. I wouldn't be concerned any more with your boat than being new to running the river with any boat with an outboard. HuntnTAT2's advice on following guides without jets is key until you start learning the seams, as well as understanding the current river elevation. Dam operations allow for some shortcuts that one ought not assume in all conditions.

Have a friend with a 28" draw looking to get an archery setup with something used and reputable from the last decade or so. $300-700, 60-70 lbs, decent sight, quiver and a couple arrows and ability to safely shoot prior to purchase. Anyone selling? Please post here or pm with details. Thanks for looking.

Got some pms cleaned out, thanks. I will send a request for some pics and price.

Thanks I forwarded this to a friend.

Length and widest measurement?

Granted it was my first time in the best unit in the state, I watched a couple great bulls push cows for the majority of Friday and Saturday and they wouldn't leave their side, surely breeding. Not even one satellite bull around, just ragorns and spikes, which were ran off the herd if they let out even the faintest of bugles. These bulls never made a peep or allowed a bugle in the herd, yet I talked with the cows for hours. It was strange. Bugling and/or raking just pushed the herd a few hundred yards and they would settle back down, then we would try again. The hunter took a small bull we called in with cow calls yesterday.

Widest/width?

I fear that guy was one-of-a-kind. What a terrible loss for conservative voice in a much needed demographic. Maddening. Sad. RIP Charlie.

Someone in my family drew a desert sheep tag!!

Great hunt, I left all 3 of these guys alive in 2019, each in a separate mountain range. -
I would never say none but I fish there aggressively and I bet your theory is not a bunch nor even a worthwhile population. The lures and flies that have caught 100 smallmouth at Willow Springs in past few years have been used equally there and no bass have taken one. I could see it change in the next decade if things trend as they are. I probably just cost you a lot of effort to prove me wrong, and I wish you sincere good luck. I would love more and better smallmouth and walleye fisheries in our state.

For a DIY idea, I made one out of a used golf caddy that folded up nice, just have to find right deal.

I currently have a couple animals with one of them mentioned above. I felt like I was an inconvenience giving them the business and at a premium price. Customer service was less than desirable from several in the shop. I didn't even get a response when I texted additional confirmation info about how I wanted my mounts done. I'm hopeful and mostly confident that poor CS is the worst of it and I'm not expecting the mounts back any time soon. As a 3rd time customer, the jury is out whether I'd use them again and I've forwarded them a lot of business. We'll see, it's only been 6 months.

You're trying. I never said the Judge was my choice for anything. Try harder.

You're better at trolling on CWT than you are for crappie, I'll give you that.

More nonsense

12 ga is my top choice as everyone in my house is or will be very familiar with them, and they could also be in the next room. That said, the revolver dependability of the Judge with five rounds of three-ball #000 buck shot I load isn't something to mess with. I've read the legal consequences of using hand loads is a topic to consider. My 12 ga coyote lead BB loads would be great also.

Cooper Discovers AT3 from Discount on my Tundra and family Sequoia. I don't treat them nice and they have been a reliable and smooth all-terrain for several sets now.

You get golden eagles in Mesa?

Stewart Mountain is Saguaro. Mormon Flat is Canyon. Horse Mesa is Apache. Since we're being technical.
