The TE is their premier line in each series, although I'm not aware of a straight numbered model (I.E. 300, 400 & 700 - I believe there all B's, BTE's, TE's and GTE's). Strange a Shimano rep would...

Nice Bob......... Oh by the way where do I get a lower back brace that will fit over my aging beer induced spare tire?
Bob,
Seems about right, my last years purchase on a 20' Predator was 48 with the 175 Verado, some options and trolling/HDS.

It's actually a 8" Phantom Viper with a rubber tail instead of the back treble hook.
Just to let folks know, good friend and local metro guide Chris Munchow has released his 2010/2011 Hatcam Muskies Volume 1 DVD. Bought a couple of copies and watched it last night If guys are like...
Bah, if we don't give our money to Shimano it's only a matter of time before the wives figure out how to spend it, and I know it won't be on something worthwild like "musky" gear!
I would of guessed that your wife's fine cooking would of caused you to change your grip so you wouldn't have to transition across your belly in-order to start your eight!
I can't speak to cover, I end up storing my boat in my shop during the off season. But I can tell you I love my New Terrova with I-Pilot, even though the transducer only lasted 3 months and will...
If it's not 60" I don't know what is. I don't have very much expierence with fish larger then 50" but the few that have been in my boat look tiny compared to this slob. Either way, I'd sure like...
Jim,
I would have to agree with you on this. Social media in relationship to Muskie Fishing has in my opinion helped legitimized the sport. It really wasn't all that long ago where "Muskie Nuts"...
JEM you have to give Bob a break, he's an old........ past retirement age..... needs a walker in the boat, muskie guy that needs the extra power/speed on those big super models to get the fish to...
Very nice, we'll see if they hold up as well as the Trinidad's.
I'm a little hazy on this, but I thought my sales guy told me that I could expect about 5-6mph more out of the pro xs(225) vs. the verado(175) so i told him for the cost savings the 175 v. would be a...
Hehe, very cool video.
I'm on the second hole from the top, and running a "Laser II" 19 pitch prop. I'm not sure on your last question though.
It does look like though, that the 225 Pro XS has an operating "rpm" at...
Yeah, I had them put a 175 verado on it(I've read on the Verado boards that 6200-6300 r's are what you should be running at). Maybe the Pro's run at a lower rpm, I guess I never checked Mercury's...
F_ast,
Fully geared when we were up at LOTW I was running about 6050 to 6100 RPM's trimmed out to 4.5/5.0, or so it says on the smart craft gauges. Running dry I see about 6200 - 6250 r's with a...

Bah, I stand corrected. I thought my sales guy told me that they weren't making...
It's hard to beat the Walker(MN) area of lakes. The muskie fishing is a bit harder with the clearer water, but you have a good number of lakes to choose from all 30 minutes of each other. Leech,...
From my understanding they discontinued the dual console and the tiller version of this, this year(11). Who knows if they'll bring them back or not, I doubt if they'll bring back the tiller, but...
Bob,
I would have to agree with you, this is a disturbing development indeed. With the new "global" border it's hard to believe they can stop introduced species with a gate and water hose.
...
Unfortunately they didn't listen to any of the customers...... I'm cutting out the huge live well and extending the existing bow rod storage back in order to accommodate 9 1/2 foot rods. Oh well, a...
Ok, I think I figured out the embedding deal. Sorry, wasn't paying attention to the text vs. jpg portion.
Here's a quick little video of the boat in action.

A few pics of the new 2011 2010 Predator.
I took this up to Bill Sandy's this year for the ESOX Musky Hunter trip and loved it. I've fished out of 620's and 621's and really think this fishes...
