    Default Striper junkie update,,,,,,,,,,the merc engine.

    Never seen anything like it,,WOW!

    After abought 10 trips out with my new boat and motor,,,,,
    Here,s my findings concerning the,2009, MERC 25elpt.


    AWSOME!!!!!

    Runs strong, Extremly quiete,,,VERRY smooth,,,,,,,,starts always in the 1st second of cranking,,

    BUT CHECK THIS OUT,,,,,,,,,,,,Last trip at the mid=61/2 hrs of run time on lake==trolling
    also 30 minutes or so of FULL THROTTLE run time==exactly 2.1 gallons of gas.


    Last weeks castaic trip,,,,,,,,,,out all day on lake,,,,,,,,,,,2.4 gallons.


    Just an update on the motor for you all ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,small motors are new to me,,my last one was a suz115 on the bass boat<SOLD>.


    Any way,,,,,,,,,,OOOOOOOO ,,,,The tracker grizzly boat,,,,,,,,LOVE IT!


    Here is a pic that FISHINONE took of us on castaic lake last week,,,,,showing the pic to prove that a 320lbr,,,a 280lbr and a 240lbr =TROUT JUNKIE/TRAIL BLAZER/CUT BAIT,

    Can fish out of this boat comfortably,,,,,,,,,,and safely.

    Heres the pic





    The thing will troll at any speed i want FOREVER,,,HRS on END,,,,,,Never even a hickup!






    SO FAR SO GOOD!!!!!Next update will be after a yrs use,

    is that merc a fourstroke?.... I just upgraded boats and the 4 stroke performance is awesome. I have twice as much boat now and a bigger motor and get way better mpg now
