Man I went up to the Gator Nationals last Sunday...Holy $hit it was 34 degrees when we got there! It was freezing all day. That board is perfect for your boat. It's got some texture so you won't slip and bust your ass.
Great job, nothing beats a morning of fishing. I just picked up 2 evinrude fisherman a 68 and a 72 yeah and they both have gear shift imagine that. They sure don't show their age. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
I have the same motor on my 17ft lund, probably does about 40mph by myself with live well empty, pulls out the hole just fine for me, im adding a 9.9hp Johnson i bought a few weeks ago to do my great lakes trolling to keep the hours off my 60hp, and probably save sum money on gas.. mine are both tiller motors I lock in the straight position then steer with my minn kota terrova 24v, with spot lock.. awesome setup for a boat from the 90s
I been using a trolling plate on my 60hp johnson to get them real slow speeds in find and currents, it actually puts alot of drag on my top speed... saginaw bay is going to be awesome this year
The stainless is more efficient than the aluminum. If your stainless was a 17 pitch prop you would need to go with a 19 pitch aluminum to run the same speed as the stainless. I used to run a 19 pitch aluminum on my 18' Starcraft and I was able to drop to a 17 pitch stainless to get a better hole shot and maintain my top speed of 31mph and the stainless runs about 300rpm higher.
Hey. Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes the problem is, the Stainless prop I have was 13 3/8 diameter x 17 and found out now its only 12 in. diameter from being ground down over the years, same as the original aluminum prop that spun out, it was 13 x 19 but has also been ground down to 12 1/2 diameter but it was the fastest prop @ 39 mph. The stainless and the original aluminum prop are both running around 6000 rpm's with an empty boat, the stainless is @ 36-37 mph. Was hoping the new aluminum would come close but its not gonna happen at only 5400 rpm's. Maybe I should grind it down too! Hahaha Thanks again & Stay tuned !
You haven’t missed the crappie. They spawn when water temp is 60 to 70 degrees so keep a check on the temps. They bite all year round and better at night. Water temp is just right here in south Alabama for them to spawn, I’m getting ready to go crappie fishing 👍🙏
What this video proved is that it's more fun and productive to go fishing than chase top end speed. Nice few fish you caught there. What happened to the 6hp?
Put some grease on those prop blades Ha! Not sure really. But I have 2 props for my 25hp: a 2-blade and a 3-blade. I get a higher top speed on the 2-blade, but it sucks for rivers. I have to use the 3-blade when I'm in a current. My theory is that more blade surface against water means more drag on the motor, but also more torque. Kind of like gear ratios in an automotive differential.
Aluminum props are made of soft flexible metal in contrast to stainless that remains rigid at high velocity. Two props identical diameter and pitch one aluminum and one stainless... The aluminum prop can lose up to 20% of it's thrust capacity compared to stainless due to the blades flattening out at speed.
@@jimcatanzaro7808 You got that right! A buddy of mine took out the entire Mercury duo-prop out drive on a high performance Formula boat by hitting a bunch of rocks just like you said. That was a very expensive day!
I've ran my 60hp johnson for 8+ hours straight at idle many many times, such a good running motor until I ran into this over charging issue, hopefully changing the rectifier hopefully fixed my issue if not ill probably bust out another thousand (boat) lol
Wish I lived on the water so field testing was easier, my problem is my 60hp johnson was over charging my starting battery after I left my boat in winter storage and the guy I stored it at "charged" it for me.. I just replaced the rectifier hopefully that fixed my issue... any suggestions? Motor was charging my starting battery at almost 18v, im thinking he burt the rectifier and hopefully not my stator
i finally found out the name of the part im looking for,, it is called a trailering tilt pin,, was made by tempo,, now that i know the name of the part,, im searching again lol
@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 I found them shortly after asking. I have a late 80’s model and it’s been sitting for some years so I’m gunna try and bring it back to life it would run but would cut out as soon as you try and bring it to speed.
Hole shot or speed... can't get both from a new prop, u want a faster boat youll need a bigger motor, u can definitely get on plain quicker with a different prop, but top speed will be the sacrifice
34mph in landlocked lake, be fine. I know people with 17-18' CC with 90hp that barely bump 40mph. That was a skinny crappie but it had decent length-still make a good samwich..
Leave that new prop as a spare and put that Solas back on. Call it a day. You are chasing 5 percent more performance……save that money for Rattle Traps…..lol
What happened to the 6Hp?????? Did I miss something??? Poor minnows starved to death should of thrown some white bread in there every couple days! Maybe hit patch of not enough oxygen also that close to shore line. Restricted oxygen level maybe & in that tiny area lot of fish in small container. Anyway I dont think they will go to waste Im sure, LOLLL!
That’s a nice day on the water! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for tuning in!

Yeah. Thanks again !
You on em! Good video-
Thanks again for tuning in!
Sweet new prop see you in the next video stay safe 👍🏻
Thanks for tuning in!
Glad you are doing well
Thanks for tuning in!
Keep em comming
Thanks for tuning in!

I have a few I can give you
Thanks for tuning in!
Wow, nice fish. I should try a rattle trap on some of the lakes up here that have large mouth bass
Yeah Baby! Thanks again !

Thanks again !
A bad day messing with props is always rectified with a good day of fishing!
Yeah Man!
Only had one rattle trap lure and I lost it before I caught anything with it. The minnows starved to death. Sun 😎 screen lubes whatever you put it on.
Never starved before?? Crazy! Thanks again !
Again the saga continues
Thanks for tuning in!

Thanks for tuning in! The 6 is at its new owners house. He's getting his jon boat transom fixed up for the test run. Stay tuned!
Put some grease on those prop blades

Hey. Yes more blade more water to move. That's why sailboat props are wide and lower pitch to push a big load. Thanks again for tuning in!
Try putting the top down for your speed run, thanks for posting
Hey. Thanks for tuning in! Been there done that, doesn't seem to make a difference. Thanks again & Stay tuned !

Ya aluminum is 100 better if you hit a rock the blade will brake not the whole lower shaft

1:16 ya gotta feed em every now and then,haaaa
Hahaha. Never had to before. Crazy! Thanks for tuning in!
My boats a 93 lund pro v 1700 I believe, I haven't even registered it yet because its good until 2024 so I'm not even sure the year.. probably 90-94
Thanks again !

Wow. Never came across that kind of problem. Test the stator.
i finally found out the name of the part im looking for,, it is called a trailering tilt pin,, was made by tempo,, now that i know the name of the part,, im searching again lol
Hey. I never had to use the trailer tilt. Try ebay that might have it. Thanks again !
Stainless steel propps are going to be faster, they dont flex like the aluminum ones, also the deck adds weight so your going to lose some speed.
Hey. Thanks for watching and commenting ! Stay tuned !
Do you have any videos working on 60 Johnson like that one?
Hey. Thanks for tuning in! Yeah a bunch! Thanks again & Stay tuned !
@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 I found them shortly after asking. I have a late 80’s model and it’s been sitting for some years so I’m gunna try and bring it back to life it would run but would cut out as soon as you try and bring it to speed.
The old fat guy , lol . Funny.
Hahaha! Thanks for tuning in!
trolling is a good way to catch them crappie
Hey. Thanks for tuning in!
Do you lock your motor when you're going a fast
Not sure what that means? Thanks again !
Hole shot or speed... can't get both from a new prop, u want a faster boat youll need a bigger motor, u can definitely get on plain quicker with a different prop, but top speed will be the sacrifice
It's all about the weight and prop "design". More Rake!
Start putting ice in ur minnows they'll live longer, and especially with an air pump
Hey. Thanks for tuning In!
34mph in landlocked lake, be fine. I know people with 17-18' CC with 90hp that barely bump 40mph.
That was a skinny crappie but it had decent length-still make a good samwich..
Thanks for tuning in!
That share pintu
Thanks for tuning in!
Leave that new prop as a spare and put that Solas back on. Call it a day. You are chasing 5 percent more performance……save that money for Rattle Traps…..lol
Hahaha! Thanks again !
T.O.O they got hungry try not eating for two weeks
Thanks for tuning in!
Different props will either get u faster speeds or get u on plane quicker.. NOT BOTH, its 1 or the other unfortunately 😕
That not true! I built this boat to be as lightweight as possible. No problems in either department ! Thanks again !
freaking no survivors
Hahaha Crazy! Thanks again !
Use Velcro
Thanks again !
Umm Humm mite be outa gas.
Thanks for tuning in.
What happened to the 6Hp?????? Did I miss something??? Poor minnows starved to death should of thrown some white bread in there every couple days!
