fishing boat for sale
Shopping for a new gas-engine boat means making choices, one of the biggest quandaries boat buyers must resolve is how much horsepower is enough or, conversely, how much is too little, but it doesn't end there, the questions and the choices continue: should you opt for commercial fishing boat for sale single or twin engines? should you go with electronic fuel injection or choose an engine with a carburetor? ultimately, you'll wind up with a power package that best serves your needs, but only if you thoroughly understand the.
Inevitable trade-offs involved in choosing one configuration or one technology used fishing boat for sale over another, most people have a vague idea of the pros and cons of the issues they'll confront when buying a new powerboat, but there's always more to learn, inboards if you want an inboard gas-powered boat that will go as fast as possible, you're.
Talking big-block power, sport fishing boat for sale where speed is concerned, there's no substitute for cubic inches, the good news is that the current generation of big-block motors runs smarter than previous models, the bad news is that the bigger the engine, the more it costs, there we've already encountered the biggest trade-off: cost, electronically aluminum fishing boat for sale fuel-injected engines cost more than carbureted engines, but don't think that carbureted power plants have stood still since the inception of efi, they now boast.
Sophisticated engine-management systems that maximize output at the same time that they extend engine life by protecting against overheating, over-revving, low oil pressure alaska boat commercial fishing sale and detonation, as for efi, it Cheap Boats
adds a few hundred dollars to the price, but pays big dividends in improved fuel economy and flatter torque curve, for my money (so to speak), the extra cost is worth it, nonetheless, if a boat i was.
In love with were small fishing boat for sale only available with carbureted power, i wouldn't let the absence of efi deter me from buying it, two- or four-barrel carburetors are entirely adequate, and are likely to be with us for a very long time, as opposed to sportboat buyers, cruiser and sportfishing boat customers are usually boat bow fishing sale more pragmatic not that they don't appreciate crisp acceleration and a robust top end, but they tend to be willing to forego maximizing speed in the interest of minimizing purchase price, in other.
Words, they try to achieve a balance between cost and performance, they weigh the variables saltwater fishing boat for sale in arriving at the "proper" horsepower for their boats, besides cost, just what are these variables? first, there's acceleration, and to judge that, there's no substitute Cheap Boats
for a test drive, don't trust numbers and spec sheets, rely on hands-on testing instead, to decide between a v-6 and a offshore fishing boat for sale small-block v-8, for example, first drive one and then.
The other, even if you have to travel some distance to do so, pay particular attention to how the boat feels getting up on plane, keep in mind that a demo boat is usually lighter than your boat will fishing boat for sale minnesota be after you've loaded on the coolers, the gear, the canned goods, and the kids, after running at cruising speed for awhile, slowly back off.
On the throttle until the hull falls off plane, the slower the speed at which you can keep on plane, the better, attempt fishing boat for sale uk to achieve a similar hands-on comparison test if you're trying to decide between efi and a carburetor, efi motors run more powerfully than their carbureted equivalent, with shorter times-to-plane and measurably crisper acceleration, Cheap Boats
they also offer better fuel economy, where efi really shines is at the launching romp, fishing boat for sale california power is there instantly, whether the engine is cold or.
Hot, so you won't have to deal with a sputtering engine that might die at any second while you're trying to get out of the way of other boaters impatiently waiting to launch, stern drives because stern drives crab fishing.
Boat for sale utilize inboard power plants, all of the above is applicable to them as well, the big question is i/o or not i/o, on the plus side is shallower draft and better maneuverability (with a single), the drawback to a stern drive has traditionally been that more components have alaska fishing boat for sale to be in the water especially in salt water, here there is very good news, however, outdrive corrosion and failure is nowhere near the problem it was just a few years ago, tremendous progress has been made in the protection of lower units.
From the detrimental effects of bass fishing boat for sale the sea, if you've settled on a stern drive, how about counter-rotation? this term actually refers to two distinctly different situations, the first is a twin-engine installation, and here counter-rotation means that the port propeller spins clockwise and the starboard propeller spins counter-clockwise, which balances engine torque and lund fishing boat for sale makes steering easier, it also keeps prop wash from pushing the bow off course, in this sense of the term, there's no choice to be made counter-rotation is a standard feature on all current twin-installation stern drives, in the second sense of the term, however.
There is a boat fishing pelagic sale choice, because counter-rotation also describes two props on a single drive leg, turning in opposite directions, whether your stern drive is powered by a brutish v-8 or a perky little v-6, you should be aware of the advantages of this technology, which was pioneered by volvo penta, consider fishing boat for sale ontario foregoing a standard configuration for Cheap Boats
a dual-propeller stern.
Drive such as volvo's duoprop or mercruiser's bravo three, both duoprop and bravo three spin two propellers on a single axis, one propeller spins clockwise, the other counterclockwise, the configuration effectively doubles blade area, which translates into increased thrust, this boat fishing japanese sale extra thrust optimizes performance by converting every last drop of horsepower into crisper acceleration and higher top speed, perhaps even more appealing than this performance boost is a significant improvement in handling, not only at top speed where it can be critical, but also at displacement speeds docking charter boat fishing for sale and maneuvering in tight spaces.
Is much easier, in addition to performance and handling gains, fuel economy is also substantially improved, which extends range as well as cuts costs, the bottom line is that this type of "counter-rotation" can transform a v-6 into a v-8 one with exceptional boat fishing michigan sale fuel economy, like all good things, bravo three and duoprop drives cost more than conventional drives, also, there is a limitation on which boats are available with which brands, at the very least, find out what's available, better yet, run the numbers ,,, and run the boat, outboard aluminum boat fishing.
Sale used motors deciding on outboard horsepower is easy because outboard boats are rated for maximum allowable horsepower, the appropriate horsepower package will be anywhere from about 70 percent of this rating up to the max, if you want to go as fast as possible, specify the biggest legal power fishing boat.
For sale florida package, if you want respectable, but less expensive performance, back off to around 75 percent of the maximum rating, but don't drop below that number or time-to-plane and top speed Cheap Boats
will be disappointing, before signing up for a pair of 400-horsepower v-12 outboards, keep in mind that the aluminum boat discount fishing sale more cubic inches the carburetor must feed, the faster.
Fuel will drain from the tank and the shorter the boat's range will be, roughly, figure that at wide-open throttle (wide open throttle) 10 percent of the horsepower rating will equal the number of gallons burned per hour, twin boat fishing inflatable sale 150s burn about 30 gph at full bore, while twin 100s only burn about 20 gph, this brings us to the question of whether a single 200-horsepower outboard is better than twin 100s, the answer is that each offers distinct advantages and disadvantages, for example, a single installation boat fishing oregon redmond sale costs less.
And weighs less, is somewhat easier to steer, boasts slightly better fuel economy and does not require throttle synchronization, the difference in price will be about $4,000, with twins, lay-up, tune-up and repair costs are doubled, also, a pair of 100-horsepower outboards will not push a boat fishing sale texas boat quite as fast as a single 200 because the extra lower unit doubles underwater drag, to my way of thinking, the only reason to resort to the added expense of a twin installation is for safety's sake, if you regularly fish or cruise.
Far offshore, a second bass boat fishing sale used engine is good insurance, it's a question of how much you are willing to pay for peace of mind, this is definitely a personal call, an option worth considering is to rig a single, large outboard and a "kicker" outboard, the four-stroke 9,9 high-thrust motors are perfect for fishing boat for sale canada this (depending on boat size) because of their wide-diameter propellers and lower-ratio gears, with the new oil-injection systems, both engines can run directly.
Off the same fuel supply, another consideration is a transom bracket, a transom bracket is simply a motor-mount that bolts onto the stern, it holds canadian fishing boat for sale following seas at bay (allowing Cheap Boats
a full transom), and increases acceleration and top speed because the propeller(s) is farther aft and in relatively undisturbed water, the ride is also quieter, owners who operate in salt water should definitely take advantage of the new breed of saltwater-specific outboards with boat fishing houston sale their enhanced corrosion resistance and torque curves that retain plenty of mid-range horsepower which is exactly where.
