[@bubbagump1452]

That bowline knot you can pull it tight and the way it loops over the lead line you can always get it untied great video

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thank you Troy!

[@Alpaka_Lolo]

Excellent video. These basics are worth reviewing periodically!

I love knotty videos.

[@bryanmorrion9503]

I used to call the square knot the reef knot

[@BornAgainBoating]

Interesting :)

[@fishinbite]

Great vid! What types of ropes do you use ie. nylon, dyneema, poly?

[@BornAgainBoating]

Really depends on the application, here's a good reference: www.premiumropes.com/rope-advice/rope-materials

hey i have a question. i’ve been looking at some used center consoles around 17ft and i wanted a yamaha outboard but they’re pretty expensive. in your opinion do you think a mercury optimax or evinrude etec would be more reliable? thank you

[@BornAgainBoating]

No I don't think they will be more reliable, but that doesn't mean they can't be reliable engines. Opti's are just finicky when it comes to the fuel and you need to keep good clean ethanol free fuel in them or at least don't let ethanol sit in them. They also don't like to sit for long periods of time. And Evinrudes are 50-50, 50% of people have great experiences with no issues for long periods of time, and the other 50% of people have nothing but problems with them, that's been my experience and opinon :)

@ thanks so much! i found a scout 177 sport fish with a 2000 yamaha 115 2 stroke that im going to take a look at. my current boat is a grady white with an old johnson 140 on it
