Running pretty good.....she does not start on the first crank like last season.....might be the 2nd filter I added or just a bit of tuning. Other than winterize I have not done anything to the motor. Once warmed up it starts up instantly when running to a new drift. The Lowrance fuel flow stuff is great.
I hope to get out again tomorrow.

That is great, what kind of numbers have you seen so far, I am curious because it was extremely inexpensive fuel wise for me.

Not quite as good as I expected but not bad. If I tweak it just right on flat water it shows 3.1-3.3 mpg. More typically in some chop etc is 2.5-2.9 mpg. Again, I have not done any motor maintenance other than winterizing so maybe I could improve it a bit. Just not sure where to start. Any suggestions? I have a SELOC manual and a factory manual but haven't looked at them much.

No I don't agree with the rules!! The recreational guy have been taking it on the chin for years!!
Commercial fishing in Ma, is a joke!! No one and I mean no one is making money on Fluke or Bass!! and now that gas is $4+ there is no way anyone is making it!! I still do it to pay for my day and thats it, I get to do what I love , put some fish on the table and pay for the gas and if I am lucky I have am little left for hooks and things I need for the season. As far as it being fair, NO!! But the idea behind the commercial guys getting a smaller fish is that a dragger scrapes the bottom and all come to the top, small and large, The rule is no culling!! But they all do it! When i go sell my catch I have all 14 and up fish, when a dragger comes in they all have Jumbo's!! they are culling all the time and the ones that say they don't tell lies!! Fluke on open day can range $2.50 to $5.00 a pound depending on size. The have S M L Jumbo, but in short order say 2 weeks they get rid of the L size and the price drops $1.50 to $3.00 As far as law enforcement, thats also a joke, there are no were near enough police to watch the fishery!! And everyone knows it! Now we are going to get a Saltwater Lic, its nothing more then window dressing for them to look like they are doing something when they are not!! And who is going to enforce these new rules?? I can see it now, a guy takes his son or grandson to the water for some nice fishing and they get fined for doing what has been free for 1000's of years! When the dragger's and others are on the water stealing, killing, culling and god knows what and never get caught cause who is going to be out there watching them?? NO one thats who!! I say keep it free for recreational people, band all I mean ALL commercial fishing from state waters, it is a joke after all any way!! I could go on much much more but the rant is over for now!!
