i did not want the 7:1 ratio b/c im using it for bladed baits and i just dont really like to burn a spinnerbait or buzzbait all that much. ive had the core for about a 2 months (a little befor they hit the market) the drag seems really smooth and it will cast a country mile, i know there is a big difference but it reminds me of fishing with a calais to tell you the truth. its the perfect sized reel to not to big like the cu200 but not tiny like a 50mg its just right.
i just got the new core 100mg and the stradic 2500 FI and got two new gloomis rods to go with them. all i got to say is i will sell all of my chronarchs for that core that thing is sweet its a little bit more then the chronarchs though thats the only bad thing the will cost you $350. and the stradic FI its pretty nice i love the new propulsion spool it has help stop line twist. but i though i would let yall know about then in case you decide to buy one
im looking at buying a 04 ranger 520 with a evinrude HO 225. Ive herd these motor have a lot of torque even to much torque it is destroying the lower unit. but i just wanted to see if any one has this motor and if they like it pros/cons thanks
i would forget about the Z20 and get the 520 by ranger to me that is one of the best riding boats, lots of storage, big front deck. thats what i would go with, to me the Z20 is nothing like the 520, the 520 is faster and a better riding boat in my IMO
well ive finally got out of school for the summer and now i get to fish in the week day thank god because there is so much boat traffic on lake lanier that its not funny. but any ways i pulled up to one of my favorite spots in two mile creek and managed to catch some schooling on top then they went down so i pulled out the drop shot and a few shakes of the the worm later i set the hook i what i thought was a MAGNUM spot i fought and fought that fish i thought i had a 7-8lbs spot on but i finally got him up to the boat and if it wasnt a big 7lbs catfish lol ive never caught a catfish on a dropshot lol, but get this as the day went on i was fishing in orr creek, i was fishing a rootbeer dd14 around a rocky bank then something knocked the fire out of it but i didnt hook up with him at first but a few cranks later agin something knocked the fire out of it agin but i was able to get a few trebble hook in him and agin i thought i had a GOOD spot on but got him up to the boat ANOTHER big catfish lol i have never caught a catfish on a dropshot rig or a crankbait lol it was a wired but fun day lol
helms83-my payments are only $250 for 4 year there not to bad and no i did not put anything down, i also pull that boat with a 2001 ford ranger and it pulls all right but im scared to pull it to far though
well my first boat was also a tomboy with a 25 horse, but i only had it a month or two then i decided i need a bigger boat so i got a loan for 10000 and bought a 2003 tracker tournment v-18 and now im just paying the bank back.
so your just wanting a switch so you can use your jack plate, i have the teleflex trim switch and i love it they also make a jackplate switch its about 40-60 buck and its real simple to put on. and it goes on the steering wheel so you wont have to keep taking your hands off the wheel.

like i said thats the hardest part. but you might be able to just take off a piece of you side panel or you might be able to find them by looking in some of you storage boxes
ok you will probably have to take the throttle off your side panel, and there will be three wires one will be red one will be green and one will be blue that run to your tilt and trim switch on you throttle, you will have to splice those 3 wires and then run your 3 new wires to your new switch. your right about the 3 prong switch, red will go to the center(you hot wire) then green to the top(your trim up wire) then blue to the bottom(your trim down wire). its pretty simple except taking off your throttle
i love mine. i have a 03' tournment v-18 i have a 90 on mine i wish it had a bigger motor but its not to bad it will run about 45-50mph but the v-18 can hold a 150hp thats what i would go with if i were to buy a new one. they are pretty stable boats for the most part. my home lake is lake lanier in georgia which it can get pretty rough out there sometimes and it rides alright going through rough water but it can and will beat the crap out of you.
