[@americasbasecamp3992]

Very cool series! I am redoing a classic 1974 mako 17. Absorbing all the ideas I can from these videos. Keep’em come’n!!

[@coltonhoward9444]

That Bonefisher is such a beautiful boat.

[@palmharborfishing2932]

I love the boats thank you for the info and now I know more about my first boat !!!!!

[@franciscallahan4213]

Those Underwater lights on the Transom Bracket are Sweet!

[@LAIG803]

I agree keep theses coming!!

[@robbrunk6930]

Favorite show on KZbin!

[@kyleblum3831]

Love these videos so much!!!! I'm obsessed!! Lol

[@jimnew5813]

Nice boat, I was not familiar with the Hewes, was thinking about buying a Mako LTS 18 with a 115hp Mercury. Ended up two weeks ago with a 1999 Hewes Bonfisher with a 140 hp Suzuki. Has power pole, Motor Guide trolling motor, trim tabs, Garmin Nav, LED lights all over it including the live well, Continental trailer, aluminum wheels etc. Love the boat, rides great...great flats boat.

[@tritty84]

great show

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

old boats are awesome

[@TheCmoney84]

In case anyone is trying to figure it out, this is season one episode 7, FL SPortsman should update the title of the video.

[@TheDoug9901]

Love this show beats SHIP SHAPE all to hell. And you pick up small bits of info for what I do. There's a surplus marine store not far from them

[@yoffer2490]

More!!!

[@rootpass74]

Grinded? Do you mean ground?

[@Whitemale69]

todd barrett whoa there grammar hero save some pussy for the rest of us!

[@TheDoug9901]

61 years old did boats trucks and cars highest Canadian license I know what you guys go through in that Florida heat doing this job. Not easy 85 plus temps in a paint suit.

[@jtjt4827]

they don't make em like this anymore

[@vmonroig21]

tired of this guy when its flat and he says that the boat handled well in those conditions lol

[@ashcondon8281]

MORE torque on a 4 stroke 90 than a 115 two stroke? That doesn't make sense?

[@ramboassgoblin]

I know that's what I thought, just advertising

[@kylewalker7072]

they dont even rate them in torque. but even if they did, boats arent cars and the road doesnt slip by like water does. hp more important, but especially weight, and time to marx rpm and time to plane especially.

[@TheDoug9901]

especially early 4 stroke mercs they were useless heavy pigs

[@freedomandliberty]

interesting

[@guglielmodicarlo4139]

I love how this owner always makes it look like he's doing everyone a favor ,,, their so full of shit, its not even funny, sure they do good work, but something tells me it comes at a tremendous premium

[@Renata6476e]

muy buenas a todos aqui vegetta777

[@kylewalker7072]

explain to me how a four stroke has more "torque" than a 2 stroke. on a 2 stroke, every time the piston comes doen it is a power stroke. on a 4 stroke, its every 4. its clear yall love yamaha, and thats the one what brung ya, but a light 2 stroke is a much better option where weight matters, like the bone fishing boat.

[@kyleproctor9866]

Kyle Walker 4 strokes last longer, more efficient and now there isnt much weight difference

[@kylewalker7072]

your point is fair about the 4 strokes getting lighter, but a 2 stroke will still have a better hole shot and plane faster, both important for shallow water boats. also, in thr 75 down hp range, 2 strokes are still significantly lighter. for example, compare 50 tohatsu with 50 mercury

[@TheDoug9901]

weight wise the 4 strokes are better but they are dropping 2 cylinders down to a 4 cylinder from a 6. I would look real hard at Evinrude before I would go to a 4 stroke

[@kylewalker7072]

ditto, or even a chinese 2 stroke if itnwas available in hp i needed

[@timclevenger5348]

I now this is an old thread but i couldn't resist correcting this. What you are missing is he said it has more torque "out of the hole". 2 strokes will have more torque but at a higher RPM. By producing more torque lower in the band the 4 stroke will perform better in the scenario he gave of the hole shot.

[@kylewalker7072]

"grinded" isn"t a word narrator dude

[@rg2011]

Kyle Walker "grinded" is most definitely a word, check your 19th century spice catalogs Kyle. Furthermore, "isn"t" it is "isn't" see Kyle, everyone makes mistakes.

[@dannyjones3840]

This guy drives me nuts- it's GROUND, not "grinded".

[@w159]

Narrator gets more annoying. He always says grinded. That’s not a word, it’s ground!
