Had a similar experience same day on my Buddy's 25 Trophy Pro the "Audrey Sue". We are going to try for the elusive BFT again this Saturday. If you are looking to load up on Seabass fillets before the regulations change, just drift the mussel beds in 75 feet off Seaside...look for the life...

Assuming your Sailfish tanks are set up the same as on my Trophy Pro, the Aux is closest to the stern, the Main is closer to the helm. (makes sense to have the larger, heavier tank amidships for stability and fuel burn efficiency) If you have a Marina that sells VALVTECT gas, buy it. It already...

It has started...(if you are up North). Got a report Striper blitz at Roamer shoals this morning. Troll bite was on stretch 25's

Gorgeous!

Well said! I feel exactly the same about my 1988 TrophyPro, which I have owned since 1991, and already re-powered three times. Some of the best days of my life spent on this boat, including this one just the other day with my Wife, my Son and his Wife and my 2 1/2 year old Grandson anchored up...

Recently installed set number 5 (or is it 6? losing track)....went with the more expensive Stainless Steel version this time, maybe it will last longer?...

Sometimes....As Dennis said above, there might be of bit a bilge crap stuck in the pump propeller and jamming it up. Just happened to me as a matter of fact. My stern bilge pump would not work either from the float switch or the console switch. I removed the pump from the hosing, stuck a...

Actually, under $100 bucks an hour for labor is not bad...they charge over $125 locally. These are easy jobs to do yourself but if you don't have the time you gotta pay I guess... Yes, it takes time, (maybe a couple hours) but all you need is a heat gun and an old credit card to use as a...

I agree totally with the advice above. Running your boat with the motor set too low is putting undue stress on your motor and lower unit and killing your gas mileage. If you want your motor to last, you need to move it up higher so that the cav plates are just below the waters' surface when the...

Fluking Report: August has been really great Fluking outside Manasquan Inlet! Alternating Fishing trips on my buddies 25 Grady and my other friends 29 Boston Whaler, we have had multiple days where we limited out with keeper Fluke (18 inch plus), with several really nice 25 inch plus fish in...

This is such a tragedy! We live on the East coast and have been vacationing in Sanibel/Captiva annually for decades...NEVER saw anything like this before. Our reservations there this year are for Thanksgiving week, hopefully conditions will improve by then...

FYI Here is a pic of my boat with the ball tied up on the stbd front rail. Not in the walkway, and not blocking my view from the helm, but right THERE where it needs to be when it's time to deploy it... viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24298

First thing to do is have someone look down over your transom at the motor while the boat is up on plane and trimmed normally. If the cav plates are not visible (slightly above, at, or just below the water flow) you have your motor mounted too low. Raise it up one hole at a time until you get it...

Obviously, something is not accurate, I'd suspect the Yammie gauges. NO WAY an engine turning at 6100 RPM is going to burn almost the same amount of gas as one turning at 4000 RPM!

Something does not make sense here... why is your stated fuel economy at 6100 RPM almost the same as it is at 4000 RPM? Faulty gauge?

I bought this one on Amazon, works good: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078P ... UTF8&psc=1

Great, glad to help. Just curious...why does the ball need to be stored below decks? Why not leave it tied to the rail where it will be at hand to use when needed?

This is a common problem ever since the mercury switches were eliminated on bilge pump switches. Most switches now have a rolling ball inside the floating arm which tends to get hung up over time. Obviously it is VERY important to repair this ASAP. Quick and easy fix, just replace them and...

Sure thing Family Affair....As you can see in my sig, Finest Kind is a 1988 Trophy Pro....25 foot hull w/o bracket or pulpit, actually around 28 foot running surface and around 30 foot overall...or at least that is the length-basis my storage facility is charging me! check out the specs here...

If the 12" does not do it for you (IMO I don't think it will have enough buoyancy) return it and exchange for the 15". I tie my 15" ball to the stbd rail up close to the bow pulpit. It's does not block my view ahead and it is not in the way since it hangs off the rail on the outside and does...
