Post by: bob o on July 28, 2013, 04:27:28 PM
Yspibass and i just broke in my new Mercury 200 Pro XS. we met at the MDNR ramp on Belleville and the Merc recomended 1hr btwn 4000 and 5400 rpm went be pretty fast. all went so well we even stopped and caught a few bass, nothing big but smallies are always fun.This new motor is just what this boat needed and with the 5yr extended warranty my cat has 5 more lives left at least. now i just need new seats maybe santa will read this post and come thru for me.

For those of you without a facebook account and/or not my friends for whatever reason on there, I posted a short video. Yes, it's as fun as it looks :-)

Sanford Lake did just have a 26 lb bag this past Saturday.  My wife wants to get a place on the lake so if that changes anytime soon, I will be happt to have you all up for sure.
