  1. Not too add more muck to this post but some engine's should not use the super octain as it increases the RPM at full tilt that could also cause issues.

     

    Another issue about the Ethanol is it deteriates some of the rubber in older hoses, so they need replaceing more.. this only really affect old equipment.

  2. I will be there Wed night to - Sunday.. Had so much fun last year bringing my Bro and Pops for added enjoyment.

     

    Camping seems too be our only hope :( we are on a waiting list for cabin accomindations..

     

    Anyone ever done ATV trails up there?

  3. It was the first seasonal test weekend of the HMS LeXXington, and what a day too do it!!!

     

    Over the winter Tbayboy and I lugged all the stuff out on the ICE, drilled holes, walking, huffing and puffing. While on the ice he was kind enough to listen to me Bi#$th while I was in my hut about the cold lack of fish etc.

     

    I felt I should take him out with me and show him real fishing, OK it was perch but still

     

    Made arrangements to meet at 7am in Orillia, forgot how long that drive was. Got out tickets, Minnows etc and off to the launch.

     

    The engine fired up, no leaks, and put the plug in :) out we went to the narrows for the super highway of perch.

     

    All day we kept pulling them up if we got a while without a hit, move around a little and start again. We must have caught 50 or more but only keeping the larger ones for a nice feed. I am glad we packed it in a little early around 3pm cause by the time I had finished cleaning mine I was ready for bed.

     

    My poor first mate was so excited about fishing, poor thing tuckered herself out and slept all the way home. I can guarantee as soon as she see's the fishing stuff again she will sit on my coat so I can't leave without her :)

     

    Here are some pics of the day,. No tagged fish so I guess next year :)

  4. Hey All:

     

    figure we have lots of people on the board that have access to various tools. I have 2 brackets on my boat that have cracked due to stress or just plain installed to tight. One part is attached to the boat the other part too the seat mounts with a crack down the middle.

     

    I spoke to the dealer for my boat and they said to drag it too Barrie leave it for a couple weeks and it will be all fixed under warranty, I figure just the gas too drive there would be more than the cost of doing the work never mind the leaving the boat for a couple weeks,

     

    So I ask them, its only 2 brackets about 5 inches long, that is not related to hull structure can I find a local person to do this without voiding the warranty sure they tell me.

     

    So is there anyone who has welding skills in Mississauga that has some free time in the next 2 weeks to weld 2 brackets. Please PM me.

     

     

    Thanks LeXX

  5. Check around buddy, It seems a bit high, as I am paying less and insured as $13,000 but I also have 2 cars, a house and life insurance

     

    but do get insurance.. One goof may sink the boat, but if someone gets hurt you are on the hook for way more than the cost of the boat

  6. For a point and shoot can't go wrong with the Canon A640 10mp.

     

    Bigger the zoom the bigger the camera. I like something that fits in a pocket and takes movies..

     

    The only real reason I went for the big MP is when zooming in digitally makes a big difference. When printing out on paper no difference at all :)
