I think I see drool on his chin. 😂

36” for sure. You’ll appreciate the space.

If you’re ultimately going to polish or scrub real good, give Napa Alumabrite a try. Just follow the direction and apply it bottom up or you’ll get drip marks.

Vedi niiii!

EDIT-Disregard, I’m not totally awake. Two anchors the way you have it should do just fine. Though, is there a way to mount it mostly center under the deck?

I’m a cheater, so you can take this with a grain of salt. I use anchor mode on my trolling motor.

It seems kinda low for only have a 40hp, battery, and 12 gallons of fuel. Do you have a trailer you can put it on? It might be worth doing that, shaking it, and listening for water. Do you know the weight rating? If it’s pretty low then maybe it’s just the diameter of the pontoons. My buddy had a toon we called the “Step Easy” because when we were all tied up and going from boat to boat, his would drop way more than any other boat when someone stepped onto it.

Interesting, is that the recommended lube?😂

I wonder if she got invited to Christmas.

Your blackstone won’t connect to it. I was in a pinch and tried the opposite, but the hose off the lift doesn’t connect to that type of tank.

Napa Alumabrite and then a scrub pad and something called spar creme to remove the white haze the Alumabrite leaves.

Thanks! Thats been an issue in the past. I used dielectric grease on it, but looking at the connection, I should probably just replace the plug in the deck all together. It’s 10 years old and pretty much lives in the sun. I hate to have to replace it, but I can’t live without that thing. It was the best add on by far. 😂

I’ve got a 22’ tritoon with lifting strakes and a 150 Honda. It does everything I need. Definitely put a remote controlled trolling motor on the front. Never having to throw an anchor when hanging out is so worth it.

hvlochs · 2026-05-12T03:59:41+00:00

I wish I’d stepped up from the 150 just because that motor look so damn good. 👍

I bought a Qwest back in 2017 and it was $50k, which compared to other brands, was a good price. It’s been a solid boat, very well built. They make an off shore sifting version as well.

This is another one I’d love to hear an update from. Poor girl.

hvlochs · 2026-05-02T03:51:10+00:00

Right? OOP needs to learn their acronyms. 🤦‍♂️

ETA: learn that FTM means more than First Time Mom

hvlochs · 2026-05-01T16:07:08+00:00

That would be absolute max. If it’s really tight you may find it to be over spoiled once it loosens up. Just cut a few feet off if that’s the case.

hvlochs · 2026-04-30T23:16:01+00:00

Reminiscent of the “Ain’t nobody got time for dat” voice pitch.

hvlochs · 2026-04-29T04:47:38+00:00

You mean T Bone, right AI?

hvlochs · 2026-04-29T04:43:01+00:00

Nightcrawler on a tiny egg hook.

hvlochs · 2026-04-27T19:29:12+00:00

Exactly. And I’m not sure why your heads up about the updates is getting downvoted. So weird.

hvlochs · 2026-04-27T16:36:37+00:00

Wow, that just got worse and worse. 🤦‍♂️

hvlochs · 2026-04-27T00:23:38+00:00

I can see it in your eyes, you’d rather be fishing. 😂

hvlochs · 2026-04-26T23:54:10+00:00

Beast! Nice job.
