    She was a nice lady. Met her a couple times. Sad to hear of her passing. She was a pioneer for women pro anglers.

    Looking for 2002 Pro Team 175XT Owners

    Wow! Talk about customer service,not! Wish I was nearby Id help out. I pit carpet on the Nitro boats for about 6mos before getting into the rigging end. I dont know what you have to work with but a little patience and I think you'll be fine. Carpeting is fairly simple if you dont over think it...

    89 Nitro fish and ski

    Personally I always judged how things were running when I trimmed up by speed,rpm's and water pressure. If Im at the top speed and trimming up makes it slower then I leave it down. As long as my water and rpm's are in good ranges I never paid no attention to rooster tails. While my experience is...

    89 Nitro fish and ski

    Found a youtube video that will give you some idea of the performance you can expect. The models are virtually the same even though the one your looking at is newer. Also the powerhead on the 100 can be uprated by a qualified mechanic if you want to get a little more umph to push you. I believe...

    89 Nitro fish and ski

    It will run nicely with the 100. Id try to get a test ride before purchase as the motor will be your biggest concern. The fit and finish on these early model Teacker built Nitros are a bit rough but nothing too terrible just check things like the pumps,aerators and such. This boat was excellent...

    kill switch?

    Not difficult to bypass. Just remove the lanyard and flip the switch to run. Thats all the kill switch is,just a toggle with lanyard attached. Has anyone sat and cursed because you cant figure out why your motor wont start after it had just run? Lol! I done that once and thought I was goin to...

    Your Opinion

    And btw TOXIC there have been other books written by many SEALS over the years,just head to a decent sized book store and peruse the military history section.

    Your Opinion

    As a SEAL he knows the dangers of releasing too much info but as noted earlier our "glorious leader" abd his administration have divulged almost the entire story already it seems so I fail to see how this SEAL writing a book within the confines of what has already been disclosed is any sort of...

    oil leak??

    How often does he check the resevoir? He doesnt want to overlook other things which will cause oil in water like a lower unit leak. Can tell you from a bad experience about that.

    Anybody else own one of these ?

    I dont have one but I was around the Nitro plant when they first opened(didnt work there till few years later but my father was in management at the time). They are unique. I think Tracker used those molds only a year or two before redesign. At the time they were some of the most eye catching...

    Starting the motor without muffs

    His didnt appear to pump any water for the three or four minutes it ran. He also said that about thermostat. I just thought it was odd as the Mercs Ive owned all seemed to pump water after at least 30seconds. I thought he had a problem an urged him to have a tech check it out before he hit the...

    Starting the motor without muffs

    My question is why? Ive been boating 30+yrs and have never needed to start my motor prior to launch. As a followup for anyone,I had a guy tell me awhile back when he was showing me his new to him boat that his motor didnt pump water for the first several minutes till it warmed up. It wasnt...

    Labor rates

    I think most were missing the part where I said I was ok with $95/hr for an outboard repair. I will install the fish finder myself. I had been so busy I was just hoping that since I was buying the fish finder from them,at a higher cost,they would install it for a decent rate. Instead they...

    Labor rates

    $95 to install a fish finder on the bow of my boat is just insane. Like I said I understand a higher rate for outboard repairs but this is something relatively low tech that they put their non outboard service tech guys on. They make less than $10/hr!

    Rant

    I just passed by a house where for the past 5+yrs I watched weeds grow up around a Nitro 190tf. Stopped and asked about it once thinkin maybe the powerhead was blown,nope. Finally its sitting out front with a for sale sign. You couldnt get me to buy that boat for much at all! Never covered and...

    Pedestal seats

    They played around with screw in pedestals once so Id try the wd40 but with a little twist action just in case. This is assuming you dont have the push button release pedestals which of course has a button near the bottom to push to release the pedestal :-)

    no power, wont get on plane

    Im thinking its transmission related. On land you arent engaging the forward gears to test the motor but once in the water you do. Hence the fine on land crappy on water. Then maybe check your shifter cables if its not the transmission,however thats my bet. Nevermind reread the post. So I see...

    Z-6 Low Bow???Jack Plate??

    Im curious what size of waves you're talkin about. Im hoping to buy (fingers crossed) a new boat next year. I have been going between the Z6 and Z7. Its usually just me out in the boat so I was kind of leaning Z6 but maybe I need to go with the Z7 if the 6 has some issues.
