I can barely get on plane with the 25 mirage plus's that the boat came with. Maybe a spin with those on pine lake might be in worth a try.

Your lucky I didnt see this before I lent you my truck !!!!! :toetap05:

[redhotsommer]

Hahahaha! Were you late?

And YOU didn't lend me your truck...BZ did!

Seriously...I love all you guys...you are always there for me when something f's up...and with me...something always seem to f up! I mean...who elso out there can go from having a perfectly nice day on the water to having BOTH truck AND trailer get screwed simultaneously?

For those whose phone DIDN'T ring with a panicked Mike on the other end...pulled the boat out at East Chicago, blew ANOTHER brake line in the truck (rear this time) and somehow picked up a huge bolt in a trailer tire. Little Dennis hooked me up with a tow truck back to his workplace @ Currie Motors, BZ was at the bad influence barn of influence about 5 miles away, he came and picked us and the boat up (after I changed the tire on the trailer) with Obnoxus' dually, we dropped him back at the barn so he could drive Kool-Aid's Escalade home while Kool-Aid ran BZ's dually up to Wesco to pick up his Cig. Mrs. Ob's Trailblazer was also @ the barn, so they had a ride home whenever they got back from their little Outerlimits excursion to New Buffalo. We drove Den's dually back to my shop, dropped the boat, Michelle drove it to their house and I tailled her in my Jeep, which then got us both home.

Well, I am on the way to starting the boating season. I brought it home and changed all filters, added oil, put in some 93 and she is ready to go. Still needs a good coat of wax, but that will be next time I bring her home.

Sounded like a good day of boating Sunday. I wanted to make it out to the big lake, but just not enough time right now.

I didn't even think of it but that is pretty damn funny....not to mention I got home and in bed at 4am from getting the Cig...only to wake up at 9am with a dead phone battery get to the barn with everyone gone except Mild Thunder to help me lift my sunpad onto the boat then off to the lake.

It was a great weekend thats for sure

[MILD THUNDER]

The motor would spin a 30 last year

I think tony needs to spin his motors at 5400-5600 according to his dyno sheets. If he can spin a 30 to that, with 10% prop slip he should be doing 94 mph.

If he spins a 26 to say 5600rpm, with 10% slip, he should be around 83mph...

I cant keep up with him! He's always changin this, and changin that, this prop, that prop,

just put a carb on it already will ya! :smash:

On the way there my new bearing buddies from Harbor Freight flew off, grease all over the wheels, that`ll teach me to buy cheap junk.
Spent an hour looking for replacement not wanting to submerge the bearings without anything to cover em. the replacements din`t fit so ended up backing it in without anything on the bearing anyway.. wtf.
On the way back tire blew out sent the tread like 10' in the air... jack for truck too short to lift trailer, good thing another boater stopped by and had a big block of wood on the truck.. saved my ass.
The spare was shot too, made it to my P`s house left the boat there .. got a tire on Monday..

Boat ran great thou:ack2:

What's everyone running for trailer tires?

[Tony M]

What's everyone running for trailer tires? Goodyear Marthon ST 225X15 .

[OBNOXUS]

Im on LT truck tires now. ( TOYO OPEN COUNTRY ) because of the boat

But in 15" I ran Goodyear Marathons on my small boat

[MILD THUNDER]

What's everyone running for trailer tires?


Michelin 10 plys on mine. I think the key with tires is how old they are, brand, and most important, inflated to the max carrying capacity on the sidewall. A tire rated for 80psi can "look" fine with 30psi in it. But its weight capacity is greatly reduced! Take it from a trucker. I have greneaded my share of tires on the 18 wheel dump truck. Heavy loads and low tire pressure means kaboom! They heat up fast, and when one blows on the semi, it sounds like a shotgun! I think I wet myself the first time I popped one

[ICDEDPPL]

I hate bearing buddies. Greaseable axles are the way to go. This way the rear bearing gets good grease

I have those I don`t why I was putting on cheap bearing buddies.. :confused:

I replaced the on tire with Goodyear marathon.. then realized my buddy works at a tire shop he hooked me up with a Denman. The Marathons is made in China Denman is at least closer in Mexico.
Do we make anything here anymore? wtf

[redhotsommer]

4 Haul Gears, 1 Goodyear Marathon, and one Gladiator.

[Magic Medicine]

Goodyear Marathon's for me

[SC288]

The boats that I have bought have always had Carlisles on them at the time of purchase and I have had pretty good luck with them. I know the Goodyear Marathons were the tire for a few years but I am have even heard negative things about them lately. If you were buying new now what would you guys buy?
