Blowing money on memories is something I'm al for but Flint doesn't work that way. He lives like a king because he spends every dime very very carefully.

Well then what the fuck is my problem?

The "treat yo self" philosophy.
You scrounge save and do without and every once in a while when shit is looking good financially you splurge on something. Treat yo self! Get it?
Got that from parks and rec.

Can't take it with ya!! I'm the same way. I don't spend a dime until I have enough saved up for my classes for the next year. Them after that it all goes out the window.

Part of the skill of waterfowl hunting is keeping it cheap. ..you will need money for the important stuff like gas and beer. @
Using older boats and motors makes sense.
1. You gain experience in maintaining a motor etc.
2. If you tear it up, you are out hundreds, not thousands.

I'm not ashamed at all of my skinny old boat and motor. Proud that it actually works still after 35 years.

Exactly. Disposable duck boat. I don't even hunt anywhere that I need a mud motor or a welded slick bottom boat. I just want my old heap to haul ass.

y'all are nuts, money spent on boats is probably the best smile:dollar i can think of

Unbelievable.
Had to scrape the paint off to reveal of all things "MICHIGAN 01201"
What does that mean? Doesn't come up on google.

[FlintRiverFowler]

It's a 9x10 from Michigan wheel. So should I go up in pitch for more speed?
Opinions?

Now that were in the ballpark do you suggest a different pitch? This is a 10" from what I gather.

[jehler]

you dont want more pitch if it didnt sound like you were getting good rpm's, think of your prop pitch like a gear ratio
I wouldnt spend a penny on a prop till you have that motor tuned and know what kind of rpm's your turning. see if any of your mechanic buddies have a micro tach or an inductive one you can clip to a spark plug boot

Shit ill just rob a tiny tach off some work equipment.

[FlintRiverFowler]

Last time I took it out alone, the second day it seemed to perform better. It really has some chunks of crud coming out of the weep hole on the foot though. Maybe a few more cans of seafoam.
Also read about "decarbing" idk what that's all about though.

[NuffDaddy]

Can get them off eBay for pretty cheap too.

call MW they are great to work with. Tell them your problems. Do you know your RPM'S at WOT?

thats the best plan of action, theres a lot more to it than just pitch and rpm in props when you get into higher hp and specific uses, but not so much with your motor and use

[jehler]

flint carb kits are cheap, and the carb on that motor is stupid easy to rebuild, I have access to the shop manuals if you need me to get you copies of anything

Looks like ill get to spend some time on the water this weekend then.

[jehler]

play with your carb adjustments also, its a lot easier to adjust a carb in a test tank with a static prop but you can do it on a boat easy enough, just take someone with you so you dont hit anything while you're messing with the needle and not paying attention. lean that baby out till it starts to "cough" and then give it a 1/4 turn back rich and see how it runs out

Why not just find out what the OEM prop is, and put that on?
