Burt Lake is right at the end of my street in Indian River. We put in there, then we can go anywhere along the Inland Water Route (Mullett Lake, Crooked Lake, etc, even out to Lake Huron).

Sounds like a ton of fun. We're in the Dexter/Pinkney area all summer on halfmoon lake.

The verado is nice. So are teh e-tecs. But alot about those e-tecs is just false. I personally have drove one (a friends) I liked the verado way better from looks to power. They get decent mileage too.

And really quiet and powerful.

Formula_Canuk · 04-21-2006, 04:16 PM

Yup there good one big, hevy boats. I saw one at an in water boat show, it was so quiet you could hear the prop in the water

98xc600racer · 05-04-2006, 04:42 PM

The boat is a lug. My God. It's big, might get a new skeeter 21 footer with a 275 verado now

IndianRvrShiver · 05-05-2006, 11:04 AM

Wanna' talk about heavy?? This is the last boat I was on....142,000 tons with 57,000 HP!!

80JD440 · 05-05-2006, 03:59 PM

I should do an engine swap into the Nautique. 57,000 hp for 21 feet of boat. She'd rip.

Because it is a ford powerplant? BTW, it's supposedly pushing 310hp from the factory, which seems like a lot, but with a boat that weighs as much as ours, it will only do like 44mph. It's not really geared for speed though, but it will rip your arms off if you're getting lazy back there.

LOL, for some reason I can't quote people correctly, any suggestions?

We just finished totaly taking the motor apart cheching everything over, putting in new gaskets, and replacing the stator and trigors and rebuilding the water pump, she runs awsome now. before it would die everytime you put it in gear and half the time you would have to do a controled neutral drop just to get going but that isnt the best thing if not done perfectly. skiing was a "you better be ready to go when the rope is tight because were going anyways", there was no stoping or else it would stall and it was just wasnt near as much fun getting readt to go, then move a foot and stall.

Formula_Canuk · 07-21-2006, 08:57 PM

J crafts are awesome for skiing with

Throw on a nose cone with lower water pickups and a jackplate and pick up some speed if you haven't already done so

eric phazer · 07-22-2006, 02:56 AM
