Not going there either. To me they look like the old Chrysler outboards in the 70's

Happy New Year to all the good folks here I've been working on a prototype handle for Steelheader's (winter anglers) that will bring the comfort of ergonomically contoured reel seats to the game with a seamless grip that does not come with the expense of custom wood or acrylic. It's not only less money but certainly less in weight and undoubtedly less cold on the winter angler's hand. That being said I've finally moved from the prototype work to a completed handle now fully assembled on a vintage D&M 11'8" Regency Series (anyone else remember D&M Rods?) Thanks for looking.

Let sleeping dogs lie. Interesting thread. In the pic with the bank of 3 of them I think they look vaguely like some kind of high tech urinals. The props might make you hesitant though..

mic drop….awesome.

Very sleek for a float rod! Still have a D&M myself as well and fish with a few guys still running them as their main rods!

Very nice looking rod Chris. Art

Mercury didn't release pricing info for its new motors at CES, but it's a pretty good bet they will have that later this month when the Toronto Boat Show opens. I would expect it to be in the same range as its competitors (i.e. $3k to $4k) but that's only a guess on my part. As far as electric aircraft go, some people may have missed the announcement last fall that Air Canada is buying 30 electric planes from Heart Aerospace. These will be used on short-haul flights ... Toronto to the Soo, for example. They're supposed to enter service within 5 years, so that's pretty exciting. Widespread electrification is becoming reality, it's no longer just science fiction that might happen one day, maybe, perhaps, somewhere far off in the future. It's happening right now. This year's CES was a real eye opener, it is amazing how much things have changed since before the pandemic. The number of electric cars, bikes, trucks and boats on display there was unreal.

Hi all, We went to one of my favourite walleye lakes, I especially like it as it’s a nice skidoo ride right from the house. We decided before we left to try a spot my buddy had fished in the boat this past summer as our usual go to spots had been kind of slow as of late. We also thought we’d try a morning bite instead of the usual sundown bite. Things were slow at first but at 9:30am someone flicked the switch to ‘Bite’ and for 45 minutes it was game on, good fun, good company with some decent size fish.

I guess the same answer as when we run out of blood stained saudi oil?

We call it the Beaverton Bellagio. The "Beaverton Motel Sorts Bar & Grill" What a dive it was, I say was, because they were doing renos when I was there. Got there and there's no office to check in at? Went to the bar that was in the basement and asked where I could get my room. I was asked how long I wanted the room for? I said for the night; she gave me a strange look? She then went and got a key and I paid for the night. Thought that while I was in a bar I'd have a drink. Asked the bar tender for a Rusty Nail (Scotch and Drambuie); she had no idea what that was; come-on your a bar tender? While having my drink two "ladies" came over and sat next to me, one on either side. OK Now I understand why I was asked how long I need the room for. LOL. Told the both of them I wasn't interested and they left as soon as a couple of other guys walked in. LOL Went to the room and there was unmade beds, a pizza box with a half eaten pizza in it. Condom wrappers on the bed stand (Safe sex you know). What the hell am I going to do? I went to the truck got my air mattress and sleeping bag. First sign of light the next morning I was out of there. LOL After that I decided I would sleep in the fish hut. I was warm and it was my dirt in there!!!! Dan...
