What is the top speed of a bass boat?
2011_Smokercraft_Aluminum_ProBass171_Top



About 120 mph. That figure would be for the boat's terminal velocity if you took it up in a plane and dropped it out. You really didn't give enough information to be able to answer your question. You'd really need to define what brand bass boat to be able to estimate the hydro dynamic drag of the boat on plane, and much more importantly the horsepower of the engine that you're planning to mount.

How do I get clear coat off my fiberglass bass boat ?
2011_Smokercraft_Aluminum_ProBass171_Top

The guy I bought it from sprayed it and it looks awful.All white and hazy.It's a copper metal flake on top.What do I do after I get the clear coat off ?


before you strip it...try getting a rubbing compound and buffing a small spot on the boat...you say its a white film...that can be buffed out. try buffing first! if its weather checked with the clear coat pealing on the boat...then get a fibergalss stripper from any boat dealer, and strip the whole top part...the bottom half should be a gel-coat...gel-coat can be buffed out to look new again...and when i say buff, i dont mean by hand...get a power buffer. wally world has them for around $30 in the auto dept. once you get it stripped...call macco and ask them if they can hit it with 3 or 4 clear coats. or just call macco and ask the to give you a quote to get it done, cause if you know not what your doing...you will mess it up worse then the guy you bought it from. i say strip the whole top, cause thats where it is the worse. take it all the way down to the fiberglass, and have macco match it up for you.

Largemouth Bass

1.) 6" Plastic Worm, rigged texas style in grape color.

3.) Rapala Original Floating minnow in the black/gray or silver colors.
4.) Hula Popper in the frog color.
5.) Bomber Model A Crankbait.

Smallmouth Bass

1.) 3" or 4" curly tailed grub on a 1/4 oz. jig-head.
2.) White Worden's rooster tail.
3.) Smaller size Rapala Original Floating Minnow.
4.) 4 or 6" plastic worm rigged texas style, any dark color.
5.) Booyah Pond Magic white spinnerbait.

What kind of paint do I use to paint a fiberglass boat?
motorboat

It's a 1970's-era bass boat, and we ripped the entire floor out of it and re-did it, set it all in with new fiberglass. Then we sanded it all down smooth, and used Bondo to fill all the damaged areas and old holes from all the old equipment we took off. Now we'd like to paint it, but are unsure what kind of paint would be easiest to use and yet durable enough... it has to be something we can apply with brushes and/or rollers. Right now we're only looking to paint the interior, the floor, and the top side of the boat.


as an alternative to gelcoat for the interior floor, you might want to look at something like Interlux Interdeck, which is a rubbery non-skid paint.

For the topsides, you could look at Brightside, which is a one-part polyurethane that comes in a lot of great colors and is much easier to apply and work with than gelcoat. if you want a harder, more durable finish you could try "Perfection" which is a two-part polyurethane that has a nice gloss when dry. Either one of these will provide a durable paint job without the hassle of gelcoat.

wakeboarding behind a bass boat?
lake house

i have a 16 foot skeeter bass boat with a 90hp force engine. it runs a top speed of around 45 and i was wondering if it is possible to wakeboard behind it


Like everyone says, yes, you can do it. Obviously make sure the driver doesn't run over the rope. Overtons.com even makes a pole that you can mount to the boat so that you can get up a little easier...should give you more pop too.

    Before the credits, we get some backstory about how Marcel was pissed at Dale after the Dim Sum challenge, because Marcel thought he should have won, of course. And being Marcel, he has to be an asshole about it. Gross.

    No Quickfire Challenge this week. Instead, they jump right into the Elimination Challenge, where they go fishing in Montauk and then have to cook what they catch for a beach party. They're working in teams of three, and it's a double elimination. The guest judge is Kerry Heffernan, a local chef.

    There's a lot of drama around the fishing segment in terms of which teams actually catch fish, but it turns out to be a non-issue by the end. After fishing, the teams all shop at a local farm stand for their other ingredients (although that must have been supplemented by a pantry or other shopping trip, since farm stands in New York don't typically carry crème fraiche or tortillas, for example). The big deal is that Marcel, Blais and Fabio decide to make just one dish while most of the other teams do two or three, as noted below.
