Strike master 4 stroke 10 inch

[deerhunter]

I'm wondering if anyone has one of these and if its got the power with the 10 inch

I've got the Honda lite 4 stroke with the 10" on it. If you would have asked me right after I bought it I would have said its under powered, it seemed to get jamed up at the end of the hole. I just got back from fishing LOW and White Fish Bay and didn't run into that problem. I don't know if motor got more broke in or what but it seem to work great. I also started leaving the choke on slightly because it's cold blooded so maybe that's why. It's not the fastest but it's probably a bit faster then my buddy's Eskimo Baracuda 10" 3hp. We never raced but I could judge from how long it took us to drill holes.

I just bought a strikemaster Honda lite with the 10 inche an it works great. Mine isn't cold blood it starts on the second pull all the time. I love it wouldn't trade it for nothing.

Any issues with power? I font care about speed I guess I just want it to cut threw

The Honda will turn a 10" no problem. Its not a hole burner but is more than good enough for me. My 8" auger on the Honda power head is quicker and getting quicker with more use.

Thanks for the info I just bought a 10 inch for $500 thought that's a pretty good deal

Have you been out using your Honda Lite?

I am thinking about purchasing one of these in the 10" model, are the powerheads the exact same between 8"/10"? I already have two 8" lazer bits I could use (Electra and Lazer 2 stroke), but there are times in the wheelhouse where I think I could benefit from starting with a 10" hole and this seems like a best of both worlds approach.

Yes they are the same I use my 8 off my old auger on my Honda. I use the 10 in the prem an 8 in the portable.

Excellent thanks for the answer.

If you get one let me know how you like it. I think you will love it, like I love mine!!

The power head is the same but someone on hear mentioned earlier in the season that SM did something on the 10" to open up the throttle more. I can't say if this is true or not.

I love it!!!
