Super User A-Jay Posted August 16, 2019 Super User Posted August 16, 2019 15 Aug 2019 ~ Well the smallmouth alluded me yesterday (again), Don't really like that. However, I always enjoy running my rig. It was a pretty summer morning in the north country, so I recorded a little video on the way up to my first spot. Shot it from two angles. A-Jay 5 Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted August 16, 2019 Global Moderator Posted August 16, 2019 If you could make a video about 20 minutes long of that sweet motor starting up and idling over and over again that would be much appreciated! That thing gets me every time, especially when I have it piped in to my speakers on my company truck. 1 Quote

I plan on hitting it hard again next week which will offer ample opportunity to capture multiple V-8 ProXS start ups. Stand by my friend . . . . btw - whenever I fire that beast up pre-dawn at a ramp in a state park with a camp ground, I make a bunch on new 'friends'. A-Jay 1 1 Quote

A-Jay I’m Sure you do especially how campgrounds like to echo. I imagine the women don’t appreciate it too much and MOST of the men let out a Tim the Tool man grunt. BTW I was kidding about the 20 minute deal. Don’t work your tail off on the computer, editing a bunch of footage to get 20 minutes of an engine. ? 1 Quote

And I knew you were just joshing, but after thinking about it a bit, I'm gonna do it anyway. Because that's how I roll . . . . . A-Jay 1 Quote

Super User fishnkamp Posted August 17, 2019 Super User Posted August 17, 2019 I love boats that come straight out of the hole and tip over fast so you do not lose much sight of the horizon. That boat hull is sweet. It almost comes out flat and fast! Nice rig. 1 1 Quote
OnthePotomac Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 A-Jay, did you ever figure out the best way to mount a trolling motor on a CG cutter LOL Quote

OnthePotomac Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 Holy cow, you did not get paid enough. BTW, I had an (now deceased) uncle in Cheboygan who had a class B oil business and was fortunate to have a government contract to fuel the beautiful cutter kept there in those days. I was only 17 and we would visit them and I would make a B line to the pier to look at that thing. As much as I have always loved boats I don't know how I ended up in the field artillery. 1 Quote

Perhaps Not - But few of us did it for the $$$. Some days I couldn't believe they paid me - in a few instances I may have tried clicking my heels together hoping to be magically beamed back to the beach. I was able to retire (mostly) at 47 - so that was pretty decent. Government fuel contracts were a beautiful thing back then. A-Jay Quote

Big Rick Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Smooth riding rig there, A-Jay. Lund has definitely refined the deep V aluminum hull. Your boat is a beautiful rig. 1 Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted October 2, 2019 Author Super User Posted October 2, 2019 Spent some quality time underway today. This clip does not include my fishing exploits (shown in a separate video) although it was a relatively slow day. Either way, the new Ultimate Bunk Boards make launching & recovering even easier and the Pro-V Bass & new Mercury ProXS both continue to impress. Specific replacement bunk boards I use ~ https://www.ultimatebunkboards.com/store/supreme-bunk-boards/2x4-supreme-black-detail A-Jay Quote
Super User NorthernBasser Posted October 11, 2019 Super User Posted October 11, 2019 I know I've said it before, but such a beauty of a boat. Question for ya. I notice you had the boat tied up to the dock. I see a lot of guys deploy their Power Poles/Talons when launching/loading solo instead of tying it up. You ever do that? 1 Quote
