After a year of looking for a suitable used boat/motor package in my price range-I am the proud owner of a 2002 Triumph Bay 190, with a 90 Yamaha. I wanted the reliability/economics of 3 cyl-2 stroke-90hp. My 1988 3 cylinder Yamaha 40 has been bullet proof for 10 years. The only repair I have done is to install a stator.
I am moving up from a 17 skiff. Maiden voyage on windy day on Lake Wylie went well. Man, there is alot of difference from a small skiff to the Triumph Bay.
I am not a mechanical pro but a self proclaimed handy man. Successfully installed my helm depth finder/gps on saturday. Although, I need to iron out the blinking at WOT.
Other projects I need to do is troubleshoot electrical to trolling motor, install cleat in center bow (currently has anchor swing like crazy), trailer tongue steps, bow depth finder install, storage maximization & purchase a boat cover.
Not sure I have the dough to purchase a nice leaning post right now, has anyone elevated there cooler seats to "leaning height"?
Anyone near Charlotte, NC or in SC that fishes for cats and stripers-give me a shout! I have alot of river experience, but outside a handful of trips to santee, am a beginner at reservoir fishing.
Keep on postin the project pictures- I will have some pdq!
