  1. Used to make Czech Pilsner at the home brew place . Tasted great seemed to go silty in the bottom of the bottles though?
  2. I think beer should be illegal with liquor and all tobacco products. Don't you know the devastation caused by all these products?
  3. As a firefighter I have been running alcohol related medical emergencies for over 25 years. Health problems, accidents and overdoses. I can't recall 1 instance related to marijuana. Yet some people believe legalizing it will be some huge problem. I just don't see it.
  4. My father was in the merchant navy ww2 when they came to Canada he wasn't allowed to join the legion.
  5. Those look a lot bigger than the ones I catch in the Credit or the ones I see other guys catch. Any reason for that?
  6. I hear not to hard to qualify for medical marijuana . Maybe some of them just want a more convenient way to obtain it but don't need it more than any other pothead. Still can't for the life of me understand why it is illegal. Buy it in the store in Colorado but get arrested in the next state over? The lunatics are running the asylum. As far as opening Pandora's box just look at the states that have legalized it. I don't see any horror stories on the news? It's not like everyone is going to start smoking it because it is legal.I don't care if it's free all it does is give me anxiety so I won't be running to the store to buy it but I really don't care if anybody else does. A nice step towards ending the idiotic war on drugs.
  7. First thing I did was go from a 19 pitch 5100 rpm 42 mph to the 17 pitch. That's why I thought the motor may be to low as I think I should have had more rpm with the 19.The hole shot was good but it seemed to porpoise a bit. The hole shot with the 17 is great no porpoising so maybe raising 1 hole is optimum as I should get 200 more rpm. If not drop it back down. I liked the boat with the 19 pitch but was really impressed with the improvement going to the 17. The cavitation plate does look pretty close to the bottom of the hull though.
  8. Great hole shot Lund says 43 mph top end. I'll try it 1 hole up see if I get more rpm maybe 1-2 mph more? I guess it doesn't really matter But I read the motor works less if it can get close to max rpm which is 6000 for my motor.
  9. Anyone experimented with moving the motor up a hole or two? Mine came on the lowest hole and thought I might try moving it up one. 2015 Lund 1650 rebel xl sport 90 hp 17 pitch prop getting 41mph at 5500 rpm.
  10. I have a light foot and my combined is 13-14 litres per 100 with 2014 5.0 crew cab. I don't know how you can get 11-12 unless it's all highway? My freestar van was always Around 14 with the 4.2 6 cylinder.
  11. Have a look at Chaco sandals. They are really good durable I got them at MEC.
  12. I have the same truck 2014 uses less fuel than my freestar van did.
  13. My friend has a 1990 Ford Explorer from new. Known every year not a spec of rust. The thing looks like it should be in a museum. I just had my new f150 done I saw the brine trucks were out last week.
  14. I wasn't in the water for 8 hours probably 5 but my toes were tingling still 8 hours after getting out of the water. Gonna try again tomorrow with more layers before I spring for neoprene.
  15. Yeah I have stocking foot with boots thick socks but no good. My toes are still tingling 8 hours after fishing. But at least I got 2 steelhead!
  16. Froze my feet off today in my stocking foot waders time for something warmer. Guess I need neoprene with boots . Any body found anything great? I see the boot insulation varies up to 1000 grams I was wondering if anyone has tried some different brands? Thanks
  17. That makes sense I think I had a spinner bait on in maybe 3 foot swells. I can't imagine my boat in 5-7 foot swells I wouldn't even go out. All the same I think I will go see Dave for some Trojan Tackle lanyards.
  18. Almost lost my st croix legend tournament sling blade with shimano Calcutta trolling in chop. The rod tip gets bumped up by the water and it popped out of the salty but I grabbed it in time. Could have been an expensive lesson.
  19. On my second Lund .First was a 1999 explorer that I sold to Bondar on this site never had an issue with that boat . Now I have a 2015 rebel xl sport that I have zero complaints with but I have only been using it for 6 months. As far as I can tell it is a solid well built boat that cost no more than any other brand with similar specs. If I had the cash and the storage I would like fibreglass but I am really happy with my Lund .
