Hey Red, what color is that allison?
I appreciate all the info from both of you. My boat and motor are both 1984 models. The motor was rebuilt two years ago to a 140, that's what I was told anyway. The hull of the boat leaves a lot to be desired. I've got to run trim tabs to keep it from porpoising and I know that's killing my performance. I only got $1800 in the boat, motor and trailer and it's got all the electronic gear. I use to bass fish all the time, all over the south, but I developed some back problems and I sold my boat and quit. Last year my wife and I were fishing below pickwick dam, from the bank, and she caught a 5-1/2 pound smallie and she was hooked on fishing. I bought this old used boat to see if I really wanted to get back into fishing and to see how far she wanted to take it. So far we've had a great time and I imagine next spring, I'll be upgrading that old boat. Anyway, thanks for all that knowledge you'll have shared.
