But there is.. Legends lose rivets.. I mean actually totally lose the rivet in numerous cases. Seat pedestals break right out of the floor. Trackers crack open and on an attempted warranty claim they'll tell you the weld didn't break so you're not covered. Of course, the weld never breaks.. it breaks beside it due to degraded material from the heat of the weld. I've fixed many for members here. Lunds and Crestliners, not so much...

Hi all, If anyone has considered trying out some saltwater fishing on their next trip to Cuba, I've put together a video from a recent trip to Cayo Guillermo in order to illustrate the what, where and how. Enjoy and subscribe to the channel for similar content!

Some days now I can't remember what fishing stories get passed along where, and that's weird cause I write about half what I used to. Early Old Timers starting, who knows? What I do know is that it was a miserable rainy day today and that being so I slipped away back into some Arctic sun my missus, friends and self all enjoyed this past July... Arctic Circle Lodge is a self-guided fishing experience on Great Bear Lake NWT and it is there where lake trout numbers are just absolutely staggering. Some years back I think it was about 285 fish Bren and I caught over the six days fishing with some good big greys in the mix. This year little had changed except that we were a group of six instead of two. BIG, BIG fish this summer too, Bren caught her first over 40 pounds while other's picked up PB's as well. With a drone along, my buddy captured some great videos and photos, including the photoshoot and release of Bren's giant. The extra shots make this report something special. Anyways, it's a cool read, loaded with pictures and for those whose fishing is slowing down, it's good and free entertainment to pass the time. Here's the link... Strokes & Putts Fish Plummer's Arctic Circle Lodge. Later doods! :)

Spend your money in the used market, it will go a lot further.

So I found some pink #1 curing salt at Cabelas. Then I checked the due date on those pork shoulders and it was getting close so I put one in the freezer and decided to just smoke the other one without the week long cure it would need. Yesterday I took all the skin and fat off to start. Mixed up a cup of 4 different mustards to smear the roast with. Then I mixed up almost 2 cups of spice rub, including brown sugar, salt and pepper, garlic and onion powder, chili powder, cayenne, lots of smoked paprika and a few tablespoons of Blackened Saskatchewan Rub, a Traeger mix I picked up while at Cabelas. It sure smelled good, and I completely covered the roast with it. Wrapped in foil overnight in the fridge and it's in the smoker today. There's no way I'll be able to get it up to temp in my Big Chief, so it will go in the oven to finish. Once it hits 165° I'll wrap it in foil and then return to the oven till it hits around 200°or so, the temp needed for pulled pork. Definitely looking forward to trying this, got a batch of baked beans on the go as well.

Any chance you have the time and ability to rebuild the Smokercraft, new floor and transom, carpet, vinyl etc? I ran an 80's 18 ' Sylvan , likely the same hull, it's a good hull but you would want to upgrade the motor to 115 anyways, it would be a bit of a dog with a 70. The max on that hull was 140 horses. You be dollars ahead, insane prices on even a 18 tinner new these days, I paid less for my house than some listings.

I bought my boat from Legend back in 1991. The hull is a Fisher on my particular boat and has been a good boat over the years. I did upgrade the motor when I purchased it and back in 2013 upgraded to a bigger 4 stroke. If I had to buy a new boat today to replace it I would most likely get a Crestliner. If I was looking for an upgrade from what I have I would likely get a Kingfisher with hard top. But I haven't won the lottery yet soooooooooooo................................................................

So one of the guys on TSN1200 was in Toronto for the weekend. Went out to a restaurant Saturday night. One big tv on the wall and it's the Raptors game on, no volume, not the leafs game. Later he goes to a bar with some big screens and small. All the big screens were carrying the Raptors game volume up and the small screens had the leafs game with no sound. It wasn't that long ago a bar in TO wouldn't dream of playing basketball over hockey. Goes to show what a championship season will do to a city's fan base. Cheers

Have been out several days the past 2 weeks: still good green vegetation on deep weedlines. Lots of great smallie and musky fishing left, fall trout season is just starting to get good.

I have a 2000 17' Legend with the riveted hull and "100 gauge" aluminum. I just dropped $5,000 on the boat having it gutted in order to replace 9 rivets. 5 were gone and another 4 were leaking. The 1/2" plywood floor was replaced as well with 1 1/2" thick laminated plywood and of course new carpeting. Lot's of labour to repair it. Two years into owning the boat from brand new I had it back to Legend to replace rivets in the same area of the hull. I decided to fix up the boat because we plan to use it for many more years. The quality of the cockpit was not very good on the boat as well. I've had to re-mount it with extra screws a few times now. I can't speak for the quality of new boats welded or riveted, however, this was my experience. If I bought a new boat tomorrow it would be a Lund.

Take a look at Kingfisher. Great quality.

Dillon laid out Duclair real good in the sens game tonight, clean hit but he was vulnerable for sure. Right away Tkachuk goes over and has a little chat. Later Brady made sure he finished good and hard on a Karlsson hit. Message sent. As a Sens fan and an old time hockey guy I'm loving the fact that our top line winger is tough as nails just like the rest of his family and has no problem backing it up. He's getting real good on face offs too, they're not shy to use him on his strong side. In fact he set the family record tonight for fewest games to 25 goals, beating out his old man by 5 games. That is huge bragging rights in that household... Cheers

DO NOT buy a Legend...

90 % of soldering problems is applying the solder before the work is hot enough, the other 10% is the surface isn't free of oxidation.
