Title: No freaking way!
Post by: thedude on June 13, 2007, 03:56:34 PM
I just got a call from cabela's outfitter journal. Seems i just won a giveaway contest for a brand spanking new 101lb thrust minn kota terrova with universal sonar!!!!!!

this is awesome... i never win anything! (including bass tournaments ;) )

:o :o :o

anyone interested in a 2003 motor guide 67lb/24v bow mount? ;D ;D

Well - you've either just won your one big thing for your hole life and the rest is downhill from here... ;D

Or you at the beginning of a huge hot streak!!!

Either way, pretty cool to get a nice surprise like this! Congrats

Come on, you can't use that great big trollin motor that needs all of those batteries.  Maybe you should trade that nice boy you have gone fishing with a couple of times so far this year.  His would be better on your boat, don't you think.

And Saturday.

We need to talk about your current electric.  And my 4 blade.  I could use more thrust, and you could use more prop.

I was wondering if this is some kind of Freudian slip on my part...? Sounds like if you caught 1 keeper where you don't normally... THE STREAK IS STILL ON!!!

I might be talked into giving you the prop and a few 20's... a fistfull probably not... but a few for sure!

We'll talk about it on White.  Want me to bring the prop with me?  We could test it after the tourney if you want.

Well, when your new motor comes we'll talk about that "old" motor of yours.  That is as long as you can PROVE it can be tightened up a bit....  ;D

I think I know why we were running 500 rpm more than usual, but running 6 mph slower.  Must be a keelshield no longer properly attached causes some drag.

I was careful beaching last night, though.  Didn't want to have to use that 1st place and big bass money on repairs.
