End of the season.

[Three Bouys]

It’s time to finally say enough and pulled the boat for storage. Put it in my heated shop for the winter and going to give it good cleaning. Looking to upgrade on a pair of new downriggers so these ones will be available for sale. Also maybe going back to a planer board mast instead of the mounted Riviera reels on the tee top. Need to get the line closer to the front of the boat.

how did you like running the etec

how did you like running the etec

@highhopes the 250 Etec compared to my Lund with an older 150 Johnson by far is more economically cheaper to run. Trolling for 4-6 hrs I would burn less gas than the Johnson did. The only draw back is this one uses synthetic oil XD100. I decided to place an order for 3 five gallon pails of oil through my marina (Posts Marina) which worked out to a little savings.
