    What pitch prop

    I have a 90 overnighter with 140 suzuki 4 stroke using a 3 blade 14 - 18 Ss prop and it does not get close to max rpm topping out at 5200-5400. I'm thinking of a 4 blade 14-15 or 16. 200 hours on strong motor, no trim tabs and transom mounted.Any comments?

    proper trolling kicker size

    I'm looking to add a kicker for my 204-C and need some hp suggestions. I'll be fishing lake ontario with it and don't want to underpower the boat. I am also mindful of added weight dropping my scuppers too low. I have a 150 yamie 2 stroke main and want to add seperate steering and trim/lift to...

    Finally getting my GW- comments welcome

    Started in 1986 on Lake ontario and could not help but be mesmerized by Gradys going by me on the lake. I finally have a chance to own one. Located a 1990 204-C Overnighter last weekend. The seller for me was a boat never moored but always trailered, a 2006 5300# cap. galvanized tandem trailer...
