Not to be a worry wart or anything, but with the power head up there where its mounted, does it make the sled tippy ? Surf

Sorry Alta, I was just trying to help. I used to fish with a guy that tried something similar to what your building and he went too high and too heavy. He used the slotted angle iron to build his and it got way too top heavy.
Alta, you just need to mount those cantilevered outriggers on it like a Hawaiian canoe!!!! Lower and wider= Stability. As load height increases, center of gravity needs to decrease and occupy more ground area...ie; larger footprint. Or, you could have have Surfy sit above the tub/skiis...he has a low center of gravity... Can you go with a center rail, and two "Side rails" angled down? Like the peak of a roof...both sides equidistant..like the letter "A"...That would give you a lower center of gravity the more your side angles increase.....just a thought.
I'm IN!!!A brand spanking new Eskimo Z51 10" was waiting for me when I got home
...Thanks Rebelss Not sure about getting " Surf" to sit still long enough until we get to the right spot on the lake. ... LOL ...
getting ready to join the ranks with a new mako. are they a decent auger?
Feel free to chime in on the new Mako, all of you New Mako Maniacs ! Just for future reference Reb, I find that Pork Rinds are more pleasing to the Palette than Doritos !
What the heck, I'll join in. Picked up a Stingray last winter for 200.00 from my uncle. Brand new in the box. He won it in a raffle. No tax or shipping, so not a bad deal. Love it so far. (Image removed from quote.)
I'll argue the fact that 2 strokes love octane. There is no need to burn more than the recommended octane. The higher the octane the slower the burn and the cooler the engine runs. I can see a need for higher octane if you are running higher compression ratios. The average engine running 10:1 or less runs fine on 87 octane. Anything above 12:1 and your getting into the need for premium 91+.If you buy a oil with stabalizer there is no real need for seafoam.
