Ludicrous

If you had a buck for everytime....

I've got a 1999 225 Merc (no idea what the alt output is) and three Optima batteries. Two are for the trolling motor the other is the starting. I want to charge my trolling batteries when the engine is running. What BEP switch combo do I need?

I just put a wine bottle cork on my crab pot lines.

Ditto.

Chew on these in the meantime:

I just purchased a 100 mph boat and don't know how to drive it. Anyone want to ride shotgun for their "worst ride ever?"

Welcome to the forum!

I'll need a new prop worked up for it. Right now I think it has a 29 pitch. For top end it needs a 30 or 32 pitch. He wants to keep his 32 so all I have is the fishing prop. It's only good for low 90's.

It has the limiter raised to 6800 rpm, 300 tuner, 300 heads, 300 front end. Speedmaster with 1.75's.

Probably faster than yours goes with a trolling motor!!! Are you challenging me to a race? (my first "my boat is faster than your boat" thread....there will be many more to come )

Already had the outfit...need to add a Lifeline parachute jacket to it though. Kerno? Still got one for sale?

1999 Stroker with a modified 225 Mercury (putting out nearly 300hp) Only does 98 mph right now. I'll have to fix that for the triple digit runs. Ran it to 88 mph before I sissied out yesterday. Need some seat time before I can air it out. Video: http://www.youtube.c.../17/bQXn5kzG3F0 A Ranger trying to race Strokers (lol): http://s5.photobucke...t=MVI_02192.flv

But they were 350# and 280#...

Your 350' and two 280's are tied abreast dockside and the dockside vessels lines start parting. Then all three start to pivot bow in to the dock and almost take out a barge. Disaster averted, but the captain might need a mop and a fresh pair of drawers up there in the bridge.

Might be working in Brazil soon.

Stroker bassboats just tested a sho 250, 96 mph. Stil undecided though, most likely going with the yamaha. The merc will put me at about 108 mph.

Nope....the old 3g. Need to put my fat fingers on a diet though. We have steered clear of the oil plot but reallyhave not seenany terrible spots yet.still working 21 miles to the west and it is clean there.

Ludicrous is now equipped with an iPhone. Will participate when in port!

Just found this while uploading my videos: http://www.youtube.c...feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK3k70kLWK8&feature=related

Back home for two weeks before the next crew change. Yes, I had some involvement in the incident. We were 21 miles away setting anchors for the next move of the sister rig to the Deepwater Horizon, the Deepwater Nautilus. Mayday call came in at 948 pm, abandon rig call shortly thereafter. We had our ROV down 7200 feet and were in the process of pre-setting anchors for the next rig move. It took some time to retrieve our equipment so we could get underway. We could see the fire clearly from 21 miles. We arrived on scene about two hours later at 1230 am. About 10-15 other vessels beat us there. We setup a search pattern on the SW side of the rig and used our 4 spot lamps and 45 personnel to search the water for the reported 11 missing. (at the time we arrived the number was 15 missing but headcount was not so good at that time) Three or four vessels were putting water on the fire which at that time was shooting up into the sky about 500-900 feet. We stayed on scene for two days and watched it burn, list and sink. photos I took: Videos: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=NeY68eBNzOU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u8C-c4aeL8
