THANKS FOR HELP--I GOT MY NEW-USED BOAT TODAY

[Duckhunter_012003]

All the input that ya'll gave me was much appreciated. Today I went and bought a 1999 12ft by 61/2 ft all 1/8" Robicheaux Full Deck with completely round smooth chimes. With a 0360 180hp angle vavle 4cyl Lycoming with a Powershift cypress series prop. 1/4" polymer on the bottom and 10" up the sides with a single front operator. 2000lb warn winch mounted on the bow, 10galloon soap sprayer system, and a galvanized ramlin low-profile trailer with 385hrs on the whole rig for $8500. Tomorrow I'm goin to run the shit out of it, and see what she can go through.

Well if your gonna use that winch I would add a aluminum danforth anchor a big one they dont weigh much and with 75' of 5/8" braided dockline which is really strong stuff you can get the anchor out far enough to geta good pull on it. you may get by with less diameter rope seein as your boat is small but you need a long rope to decrease trhe angle so the anchor will hold it comes in real handy when no trees are close by you. been there done it and got the t-shirt and matchin ball cap.

Sounds like a great little boat Duckhunter. Be careful with those jugs though, my angle valve jugs build up a little too much heat if I run the **** out of it on pump gas.

Rick, you just reminded me of an additive called TK7. It's a synthetic molecule of some sort that creates a powerful upper cylinder lube when burned. I read about it in a Chevy power book, and testing showed it really worked to reduce cylinder wear and ridge forming, but also, it reduced unhardened valve seat recession by about half.

Just dawned on me, this stuff might be JUST the ticket for aircraft motors so you don't have to run LL gas
