Suzuki. Especially if they have it in the HO version.

Check your air venting first, then change your filters. If your primer bulb is compressed, it’s probably a vent.

If both of those fail, it’s a fuel pump issue.

I read on another forum that they will have a multispecies boat out in 2019.

Went last night for some of the advertised “specials” from Capra’s. They could seem to find their rods that were supposed to be leftovers from last year and 40% off…. got the run around from 3 different people… No bait for the switch I guess… I spent my money at Thorne Bros…

Other than that, the show was pretty good. Nice selections of boats and things to browse. It wasnt too crowded.

I had the same thing happen a while back on an older Evinrude. Would go one direction and not the other. It was a relay/fuse type item that went bad. The one on my motor was a small box that just plugged in similar to like a fuse would plug in.

Nice boat! You will be ready to go soon… 2 more weeks for my Tpro195….

Very cool! Love these type of projects.

Hawaii was as cheap as Florida from Minneapolis. Less than 200 bucks a night at a hotel on Waikiki. The flight was nonstop from MPLS.

Its nice to dial in the heat and just walk away. I use remote thermometers to tell me when the meat is done. I also use a thermometer for each level I put meat on. Not to regulate the temp but to take the meat out when its ready.

I soak my chips and then add a handful of the pellets to the top of the chip pan before putting the lid on. It helps restrict the air flow and make the smoke last longer. All the research that I do says meat wont take smoke after 3 to 5 hours anyway.

I usually put 2 pork shoulders on top, that drips down on 3 slabs of ribs, that drip down on chickens, turkey or brisket.

Randy… I smoke with Propane A LOT and the smoker that use is the Smoke Hollow 38″ Vertical smoker with the glass door. I’m on my second one in the last 10 years. You can do a couple of turkeys and ribs easily. It also has hangers which you can do jerky, and the racks adjust to make it custom fit to what you want to do.

It is a great smoker for the money. I ordered it from home depot for less than $200. Amazon had them but the pricing fluctuates.

My advice is to make sure that it has a chip pan that holds as much wood as possible. This one will go 3-5 hours between refills depending on how hot you run it. to be able to set it and forget it is pretty nice. You don’t want to run back and forth every hour and refill the chip pan. It interrupts the smoke absorbsion. None of those you showed looked like they had a deep chip pan.

I fabricated a roller cart for it as they are a little awkward to move around.

Call Lacannes, ask for Mike J. He will get you whatever you want at a good price. I speak from experience.

I’m with munchy… look for air, bubbles coming out of the water stream out of the motor. If you have a good steady stream of water going through at WOT, you should be ok and not have damaged the motor. New impeller, tstats and a backflush would indicate a problem with the temp sending unit.

You could probably have them fabricated for cheaper than some of those prices.

Or befriend a welder…

hahaha Dutch… Same thing I am thinking… The T Pro 195 might not have enough room

I reload those calibers and shoot about 2000 rounds a month. If you are planning to shoot high volume get the Hornady lock n load progressive press. Its a great value for the money. and easy to set up.

I’m guessing with the calibers you selected, you will want to crank out a lot of rounds.

Go on you tube and watch videos till your eyes burn. Reloading is simple but you must follow each step in the process to ensure you are doing it safely.

I ordered a trophy 205, 9 weeks ago. Boat still isn’t being built. If your planning on ordering a new boat and want it before summer. I would order it now

Is yours delivered yet? Who did you order from? did they give you a manufacturing date?

1. I put money down, but not 10%. As dutchboy said, its probably up to the dealer.
2. It functions the same as a car. 100% payment upon delivery whether you finance or pay cash.
3. I don’t think they can give you a promised delivery date when you order as they don’t know what the backlog of work is for the factory. I’m sure they can check and give you a round about figure. I would never pay in full for something I ordered. I would at least give it a walk around and check it visually before taking possession. Take tons of photos. Only after it passes delivery inspection would I pay in full.
4. I don’t think any dealer in the world would accept the terms of a penalty for late delivery. 99% of the time being late from a promised delivery date is because of a factory breakdown.. or things that are out of their control.

Just think of it the same as ordering a car…

T Pro 195 ..

Update… They must not be too far behind. My order was placed on Jan 2. and my production date is Jan 30.

Let me tell you about my buying/pricing experience… After a good 6 months of searching craigslist, facebook marketplace and walleye central, a few things became very clear.

1. The new boat prices are exaggerated… and
2. Used boats are more overpriced than new boats.

My intuition is that both of these are being caused by the same thing, or combination of things. Normally, a depreciating asset will be on a curve. Meaning that the majority of the depreciation will take place in the first 5 years of the asset lifecycle, then it will lose a little bit a year until it is fully depreciated. That is not the case with walleye/fishing boats. My research when looking for a used boat is that the walleye boat market for the rig itself (minus electronics which have a very short product lifecycle) are not on a curve but on a flat decline of about $2k to $4k per year (based on the model selling price) for greater than 10 to 15 years.
The first reason I think this is happening is because walleye/fishing boat owners take good care of their boats and keep their boats a long time. That creates a low supply/high demand in the used boat market and keeps prices up.
The second reason this is happening is because lenders are lending for boats up to 10, 12 and 15 years now. This creates a lot more ability to purchase boats by people who normally wouldn’t have the disposable income to do it. The demand from this demographic is raising the prices drastically. It also keeps used boat prices high because if the boat isn’t taken care of and ages, they want a new one and realize they still owe quite a bit. When they advertise it, they ask what they owe which is higher than the value should be. Since the market has a low supply, they could get a premium price.

The good news is that the market will eventually correct itself much like the housing market did in 2007/2008. The prices will drop. When? who knows. When they run out of suckers who will take out a 10, 15 and 20 year loan on an asset that should have a 5 year depreciation curve.

If you ever get a chance, watch “The Big Short”. Its a great movie on how banks manipulate markets and take advantage of people who don’t know any better or make poor financial management decisions.

Anyway… I bought new. Yes, I overpaid but I want to make memories now and I will not overpay for a used boat that could have potentially been mistreated.

Another satisfied customer here… Great folks.

I ordered it today and went with the 175 Yamaha VMAX SHO.

Just FYI – LaCannes Marine made my buying experience awesome. Mike J. is highly recommended as a sales guy. Putting up with me for the last 3 months scrutinizing every detail could quite possible qualify him for sainthood. If you read this… thanks Mike.

I ordered my boat today. I will let you all know what they say when they come back with a production date.

Who was it that said… If you aren’t first, you’re last?

Congrats at being 7-0 though…..

I heard 12 to 14 weeks…
