With help from a very close machinist, who happens to be a former employee of a company (If it ain't black, take it back), we basically turned it into a race engine. Then again, it was on a lighter boat than yours.
I wish cork handles didn't come on high money rods. I have yet to find an affordable cork split handle rod outside if Lew's and theirs don't look too promising.
We had that happen last year at Hiawassee. Ended up throwing some weightless grubs and they hit them. Had to cast way past them to keep from spooking. Not the usual day on the river...
Mercs do. Ended up having the engine specs changed to their race pistons...my my the difference they made. We ran about 50 before, got it up to 65 after all the work on it.
I hate admitting this, but I do fish for bluegill on my baitcasters. Me and the old man go by numbers, not weight. And they count, right? If it has eyes...
And on that note, buy premade. Did the numbers and mine came out to roughly $10 a pop. They'll never scratch a rod, but it's not like my rods are over $100.
We had the same issue on our Johnson 200 Venom. Turned out to be the fuel pump. Went ahead and replaced the self oiling system too. Turned out it was about ready to go as well
My roommate bought his Mercury 350CSi-CXXL for just shy of 22 grand. I spent that much building my S10. Just too much for my blood. But as long as there is noney, people will want to buy the most unique, newest, most wanted item.
