There's other ratios available.

Only ones I've seen have been 3.73's. Sorry

i lived 10 miles or less from the GWB, used to launch in the hudson river, head south to the raritian bay and sandy hook area. i could be launched and fishing in 30 minutes, or tow it down there and take a hr or longer till bait hit the water. boat got better mpg vs fuel used towing it both ways too. as we all know, the hudson and the harbor can be a coin toss, its either a washing machine or glass. even when it was bad water it was faster, and you cant beat the view.

sunday was the hang out day, same ramp go north to croton point and drink up the day.

i got my moneys worth out of that boat for ten years, went out every weekend the weather would permit.

saw macys fireworks a load of times on the boat, a few fleet weeks. a few over night striper fishing trips. even towed it to the del river by exit 4 on the nj tpk, went jigging for live herring and then went live lining them for striper, i caught a few monsters up to 34 inches long. lots of good times were had aboard.

Nice to run into a fellow river rat...

Ah. Would like to put 4.10s with lockers in mine or just something to make it feel less gutless

3.73's feel gutless to you?

 

[Onebad1983]

No. It feels good. I'm just a broke power ***** and a whole 285hp doesn't feel like much to me and I can't do anything about it

Believe me, I feel your pain. 1/2 of the problem is you're used to that 285 hp.

Very true. At least you have more behind yours so it's harder to get used to. I can't even brakestand mine to do a burnout

Although those are fun, they eventually will break something--granted I am an old guy--been there, broke that!

You probably have the money to fix it if it breaks though, or you have something to drive until you have the money to fix it!

Yeah--maybe that nickel. Hey, all us gear heads started right where you're at now. Believe me--it'll get better for you. Had my 1st car note at 16. Car was a yr old. Keep in mind you can get a permit then a license at 17. I didn't even have my permit yet lol!

Eh. I lost interest. Powermaster brakes are screwed, and I think 4th gear is done. I don't think I'm gonna put anymore $$ into it. Had it 23 yrs and I've put 4,000 miles on it.
