| | It's taken a long time but, finally, big changes in the 1994 Action Craft. I picked it up, today, from Bob's Machine. The new hydraulic jackplate, low water pickup, and skeg, look absolutely awesome!!!! Tomorrow, it goes to Gunn's Welding, in St. Pete, to have a couple of badly rusted bolts extracted. Then...................... I've got to wait till the 2nd, to take it to Quality T-Tops, in Tarpon Springs, for the new poling platform. Next.....refurb the trailer !!!! |

| | Did you have a water pressure gauge installed too? With a jack plate they are a must-have item. If you run that nose cone in the shallow water standby for a ton of overheats. They suck up every little thing within a ten foot radius and send it through the waterpump. Your waterpumps won't last a year either, so keep a few spares in the parts locker. You'll also see a lot of overheats if you jump the boat out of the water a lot, like in a choppy bay or such. The nose cones suck in a lot of air and pass it on up to the powerhead. So instead of cooling water in the powerhead you end up with steamed air. You'll get tired of the nose cone by the end of the year and be looking for a stock lower unit again... -Mike |

| | I already had a water pressure gauge and this is my second boat with a jackplate. I've never had an issue with this jackplate or the the other one I had. The only time I really jack it up is to run real skinny or when I'm idling through some skinny water. I just run it as if it didn't have a plate until I need it. So far, so good! |

| | If anyone makes a better poling platform than Quality T-Tops I don't know who they are. It is absolutely awesome !!!! All is working as designed. Last time out, with two of us (6'6"-280# & my fishing buddy 240#). she would float, under power, in 10" of water. Quite frankly, that is all I could hope for. It seems, I might of found a center console out of a 2020 Action Craft. That might be the next update. Photos to follow !!!!!! |
