Should be fun. A buddy brought up a 44ft Carver from Lauderdale a few years ago and had a blast. It was a 1 month adventure for him, his wife and 2 teenaged daughters.

We saw that at the RV show earlier this year. Kinda neat, sleep and fish all you want. Definitely for the hardcore ice fisherman.

Stabil Marine Formula takes care of corrosion issues. Leave fuel in the lines change your gear oil, fog and you are good to go. I'm doing my I/O late this month and it aint as easy.

Contact Alumacraft. Get a letter from one of the engineers and you will be fine. DO THAT before buying the boat. Having to mess around to trade for a smaller engine involves potential problems (blown engine or pooched lower) and also the cost to switch. Too many unkowns. That hull with a 90hp would be awesome, plenty of power to get up and go with a full load. A 115hp, even better if the boat can take it. Good luck!!!

That sounds about right. But seriously, an oil change on my car is pricey cuz she takes 8 litres of oil plus the filter. I usually buy the oil and filter and then have it done when I get repairs done.

Nice looking machine!!! Enjoy it. I'm thinking about getting my bike licence and getting back on a bike. I rode as a kid and know every back road and trail from Newcastle to Port Hope and up in the Ganny.

Sears Customer Service (or lack there of)
bigbuck replied to Big Cliff's topic in General Discussion
My in-laws just bought a winter home down in Arizona and they are amazed at the customer service down there. They bought furniture and within 3 hours, it was delivered, set up and all the packing was taken away with a smile. Here in Canada, retailers have increasingly forgone customer service and they will pay the price when another retailer opens up with great service. It's not just about the price up front, it's also about the service afterwards. I'd call SEARS and ask to speak to a supervisor and I'd wait all day if need be. -
NICE!! I've wanted to fish the Larry for a while. It's on my bucket list.

We had a '57 Giesler French River with a 35hp Johnson at our campground this weekend in Honey Harbour. It was in mint condition and had been restored by the owner 2 years ago. Nice lines and according to the owner, it is a dream to cruise in. The fellow's from New York State and was surprised to learn that your family is still building boats. I wasn't able to get a pic before he left. There is a group of 10 fathers and sons that have been coming up to Honey Harbour for over 50 years. Anyways, neat boat and I thought I'd share it with you all.

New Boat, Maiden Voyage...and some muskie!
bigbuck replied to ccmtcanada's topic in General Discussion
Nice! You're back on the water and you slimed her first time out! There is definitely a good bunch of folks here. Great little rig for the Kawarthas! Enjoy it! -
NICE!!!! And a scar to prove it to boot!!

Oh yeah, the fishing, forgot about that. On Sunday, we had an East wind come in and it quieted things down quite a bit. I got a little dink that was about 20 inches. Yesterday, I was fishing in another tourney out of Green Acres Campground with a bunch of Americans and I had a nice 40 inch class fish hit at boatside, did a jump right out of the water and off he went and that was it for me. 1 for 2. We had a great time, lots of food, drink and merriment. Good to get together with friends.

We went bait fishing today and just jigged on the top end of Big Island. Tomorrow is musky day. As much as I wanted to wash a few lures, I succumbed to peer pressure and jigged for walleye, caught a few but jeez are they ever small.one of our guys tied into a high 40's class fish while pulling a worm harness, the fish broke off boatside. He was devastated, he's a big musky guy from Pittsburgh and didn't want the fish to get away with a mouth full of hooks. Lew, I think I saw you cruising the back end of Big Island in the early afternoon. You were going pretty good. Trolling motor is mounted and works like a charm. Thanks Dax! Defnitely prefer the powerdrive over the all terrain.

anyone else getting excited about Moose hunting out there???
bigbuck replied to brkygetr's topic in General Discussion
Nice! Good hunting! I'm hoping to go in 2 years out to western Manitoba with the f in law and his buddies. -
The lamb was awesome and the beer ice cold but this kid is turning in soon. Gotta mount the trolling motor and get the batteries in place early in the morning.
-
Rizzo, I'd be happy to catch something for the dinner table or to USE AS BAIT for the big fish with teeth. I like the Hellhound cuz I've learned how to work it, I'm waiting to get out with Lew so I can learn the art of the Suick.

Lew, I'm staying at my buddy's trailer at Pigeon Hollow. We will be around the top of the lake. You still have the same cell #?? Prolly not though. Anyways, I will keep an eye out for ya. I'm in my beige Larson fishn ski.

Tomorrow morning I'm off to HH to pull my boat out and head over to Bobcaygeon for our annual Muskie tourney/pig roast/lamb roast. I haven't had a chance to wash lures much this summer so I'm looking forward to a hardcore muskie weekend. Lures for the weekend include a couple bucktails, cowgirl or 2, hellhound and pulling a believer. Let's see if I can tie into 1 or 2. Last year while fun was a skunkfest along with boat damage so this year can only be better.

Ron, keep on trucking bud!! This is total utter Bull!!!! You know you are in the right with regards to this and if another bylaw officer busts your chops, just let him know that you will be seeing him too in court and that you will be filing a complaint with the Cobourg Police Department for harassment. This is nonsense and has me PO'd now to no end.

Good on you Nick for taking out some rookies. I think you've got them hooked now on fishing. It's a wonderful thing to do for a couple. My wife loves to get out and hunt lunkers with me but it doesn't happen too often so every time we do get to go out, we make the most of it.

Deeeelish!!! Looks like a good feed of perch!! You spent a wonderful weekend with your little guy and those moments are priceless. Good for you!!!
