I mounted my Scotty sockets using the Scotty #2128 Marinco Electric Socket Right Angle Mount just inside the horizontal rod holder hole at the stern on each side. Hidden from view and direct water contact, no visible mounting holes, short cable run to batteries and keeps cord from downrigger...

If you have the file for the switch panel, I would like to have it.

You got a hole in the water you pour money into, just like the rest of us.

I will take you up on that.

Lol

Deal! Wait, am I John or Ray in this scenario?

Sure, I’ll hold them for you. $120, special for you today, Mister! (from my Cabo street vender memories):D

Love all the ideas. My concern has been and will continue to be making sure the fuel tank coffin boxes are water tight from above and proper drainage below. Many can tell you of the woes associated with saltwater damage to the fuel tanks and the anguish it caused.

Pretty! Sunglasses will be a necessity on your boat with all that bling. I’ve seen the sun breakdown those Lexan bases, no problem with those.

I’ve got two sets of the Taco rod holders I’ll let go for $75 a set shipped if interested.

Dennis, thanks for your thoughts. I agree. I may attempt raising motor myself before considering prop change. Halfhitch, nice lesson. My understanding is clearer now. Vibration is not bad, nor is the shift clunk, but if it could be reduced, all the better. I’ll get a look at the linkage ASAP...

Last time out with the boat I got a good look at the anti-ventilation plate and it appeared just under the surface. I had asked the shop to raise my motor during the 20 hour service and they stated they were not comfortable raising motor and when measured against hull that it was perfect where...

Love me some CCR:)

I went with load rated “D” tires. They made for 65psi, single max load 2540lbs.

Took the boat into the shop for the motor’s twenty hour service. Chose not to return to the local shop that installed motor for numerous reasons including the fast 1week turnaround and the estimate of five to seven hundred dollars. A small shop in Lodi (smaller farmish town) about 60 miles due...

;)

That’s why you don’t keep you boat in the water 24/7.

Quality job Lee.

I also have a Yamaha T9.9 hanging on the transom (stern side). At rest, the waterline is just below the scupper but as I said it was the same before the swap and I understand it was that way since 2004 when the kicker was installed.

1999. Same hull as yours. The F250 (4.2l) weighs the same as the F225, 551lbs. Not sure it’s 60lbs in fluids, but you will be freeing up the weight and space of the 2 stroke oil tank with swap.
