Thanks for the picture Ken. Yep pretty similar boat. Being on the water is the priority. Looking forward to some serious fishing coming up. How's the Jungle Rehab Center??

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

wish i could figuer out how to post pics cause that is the exact same boat as mine i love it . what motor dose it have i have the orig 130 yamaha in mint condition with 361hours. what a great boat

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

go to photobucket.com, open a free acct. Click upload pictures(there is a customize your uploads tab to make pics bigger). Find the picture in your hard drive. Once uploaded, you will see the direct link below. Move your mouse over the direct link filed. Once it says copied, make a post on this web site and click the image hyperlink. Delete the https in the open field and hit paste. That's it. Good luck. I want to see your boat.

The boat is an 88 with a mint 96 130 Yamaha. The weight / balance of the boat is impressive with that light motor and solid power of the V-4.

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

what pitch prop are you running and what is your top speed. i have a 19 right now but i want a 17 i think cause my boat is a dog out of the whole and i am only gettin 40.2 mph which is not bad i guess but i think a 17 will preform way better whats your opinoin

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

Nice looking ride. What year? I'm guessing a late 88 or most likely a 89. I'm pretty sure I have the 17. It's the original black painted
over stainless prop. It gets up quick and tops at around 38. It planes at about 12 mph, which is hard to do these days with brackets and heavy motors.

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

its a 1989 and i got it about 6 months ago i love it . cheap on gas and rides great for a 18 foot boat couldnt ask for a better boat. its all mint condition with like 360 somethin hours. i want a 150 yam but i love the 130 cause its so cheap on gas and has no hours on it and runs better than any new cheaply built over priced motor hahaha

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

It's all a trade off on power. The 130 is perfect for the 18. It's my 2nd 18 with a yamaha 130. I have family with an 18 with a 140Suzuki and used to have a 150 Johnson. The Tracker 18SF's are built well and are not as stern heavy as the 80-87 hulls. All are good boats.

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

ya i love mine i never get water in the back when drifting and that was my biggest fear befor i got the boat i really wanted a 20 but honestly i like how the 18sf are set up.i had it 19 miles off shore saturday just me and my giflfriend and felt compleatly safe its the biggest 18 you can get i think im way happy with it. i have also seen 2 exact boats so far at the ramp and they love them too. got to love a sea craft

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

Mods,
Slacker clean up aisle 12. Oh ,sorry Danny,you are one.

The 130 is perfect for that boat.
It`s all about the ride. :D

Cheers,
GFS

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

Look at all the 18's coming out of the woodwork! :eek: Glad to see'um. :cool: Just wish FL wasn't so far away! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Sandy-????You sniffing too much of that glue? I hear Spidercrabs sister has strange effects on men folk.

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

Prolly but its all good

Danny next time out there, checkout the inside North, next to the pilings about a 1/4m south of the North tip - great bar to hang out on and no surf.

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

Too much Acetone from the De-Slackerization process. It causes permanent damage.

Are you bringing the 18 over? Any performance numbers yet?

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

Sandy- yes, I plan on bringing the 18. I have to get rid of the rollers on the front of the trailer and put bunks in their place. I just ran a full tank from the prior owner. So the #'s will be coming, The boat runs well.

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

Great PIC's. I have not been there since last summer.

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

what rpm s are you running at wide open throttle ? i have never seen over 5000rpms with my 130 yamaha with a 19 prop. i have been reading these motors run 5700 but that seems high for a 1989 130 ??? anyone got any specs on this motor? thanks

Re: First Trip to Eggmont Key
 

The best I got was 5400 with a 19 prop on my old 130. My current motor is not hitting above 5300. My thought is that after 21 years, the stator and/or the coils need to be checked for you and mine which is a 1996.
