A local Crappy Tire store here in Oshawa I deal with has done a work around for the few things I have needed. You go to the store garden centre with the part# for what you want. Give it to the person in the garden center and they go into the store themselves and grab it for you. Have did this twice now and haven't spent more then 5 minutes waiting for them to find my stuff and bring it to me.

ooohhh yeahhhhhh!

I've got a 17 foot boat-----boat and motor is a 1000 lbs trailer maybe 300? when my livewell is full bout 3000 lbs---handles her well 😎

I used to do the f150 4x4---and there was a time it took $150 to fill it therefore I downsized to a 2 litre ford escape with a 3500 lb TC good on gas---4wd if I need to run to the lumber yard or dump---I have a utility trailer too many years I run around with an empty box truck---just to say I drove one

If the tires would spin because you are high-centred, so probably would tracks. And yes, Argos most assuredly do get high-centred in bogs. A buddy of mine took his wife out for a "romantic" tour in his 6 wheel Argo and got it hopelessly stuck on a hump in a large marsh. They both had to get out of the Argo into the stinking muck to push it off the hump. I don't believe his wife ever set foot in the Argo again.............😁 The worst I ever was bogged in my first Argo was an 8 wheeler with "super tracks" which were the extra wide version Argo had at the time. I was going across a snow-covered lake in late winter, hit a patch of slush, and sunk the hull up about half-way. Tracks were on the ice, Argo was surrounded by slush. Tracks would run but had no purchase. I BENT my heavy spud pole, using it as an anchor point for the wich..........and then three of us shovelled slush for a while. HINT: slush does not shovel all that well. Anyways, with some fervent prayers we got it up on top of the snow and I pinned it all the way to shore. That was where I found that some of the slush had found its way into the bottom of the hull and froze up the brakes on that side, so the Argo pulled to that side. I would go about 25 yards, do a hard correct on the steering, another 25 yards, and repeat for about 10 kilometres. One of the guys with me that evening never set foot in an Argo again either............ Doug

I did add the pictures, they were on my cell phone and i had to transfer them. It moves really well in the water under it's own power at about 1/4 throttle we were at a fast troll. We are going to add an electric trolling motor mostly because it's quiet and we won't be using gas.

Get a NOCO. My son recommended to me. I thought wow that doesn't look like a charger... but it works flawlessly and is light, portable, and easy to use.. https://no.co/

Nova Scotia brook trout. This is a picture after one of my first dates with my bride. About 35 years ago. Sometimes you just know that they are the one, when you say lets go catch some trout today. I think my secret creek near Cow Bay is probably a subdivision drainage ditch by now.

How nice to have the silence encourage you to fix it, probably saved you a $100 or more.

Warm up the oven

I will try to get more pictures this week, we didn't get tracks, believe me if you can't get there with the wheels you probably shouldn't be there. We decided to go with the 650 instead of the 700 for a couple of reasons, the main one being the 700 is efi and the module is below and behind the engine, the only way to service it is to remove the engine. The 650 is carburated and a breeze to service. I am truly amazed at how well these things are made and what they can do and the adventure has just begun. It's a blessing for both me and my son, no more having to strap outboards and all our gear to our ATV then un load, reload, hope the cached boat is where we left it or isn't being used by someone else. We can fish together or indipent, the seats are padded and quite comfortable, lots of leg room and you can move around very easily. As far as 8 wheel or 6 wheel, the 6 wheel is perfect for our needs, if I was a young man with a family I might go with the 8 but since most of my usage is going to be 1 and occasionally 2 I think this was the right choice. 😊

Not sure if I have posted this before, if I have, sorry. This is the very first version of a backing system.... HH
