I never really gave any thought to fibreglass when I bought my Legend. I looked at a ton of boats at the boat show for a few years and only saw what I liked in aluminum. Fibreglass fishing boats were typically larger bass boat styles. As you can see in the picture below, my boat suits many purposes! One thing that I highly recommend is a full windshield which comes in really handy on a rough or cold day. You can always put up the full cover if needed.

NNNooooooooo. Sorry

NF - Funny - got this one in an email today...

Oil share that one with others thanks! -
Try this website. I've had lots of luck here: Cottage Link

The first year that I owned by boat in 2002, I went through two fuel senders (electronic fuel gauge) inside my fuel tank. I later found out that ethanol ruins the circuit board that the components are mounted on. I stopped putting Sunoco gas in my boat and have not had a problem since that time. Now Esso states that their gas also contains ethanol. Shell is not stating this yet, so I am buying my fuel from them.

I like the suggestion about changing his hours so that he starts and finishes later since he doesn't seem to be able to make it in for his assigned time you are accomodating his travel schedule! See what he thinks of that. If it doesn't work, then speak to HR to find out how they want it handled since the employee is giving you no respect. They should know how to deal with his kind. But you really should take some initiative yourself first before approaching them.

Bill still runs the place. I was talking to a guy who was fishing the falls beside me last May who stays there on and off all year. Bill lets the guy keep his boat docked at the resort all year long. He had nothing but good things to say about the place.

Call a reputable hitch place. They should be able to tell you the correct height.

No Fish, here are a couple more maps that show the boat routes through the area. This will give you a good idea of where Port Rawson Bay is. It shows right at the top middle of the map where one route ends. Are you looking for a more private location?

Kyle, it wasn't me that gave you the tip. Holdfast, the straight and Blackstone are heavily fished and have alot of boating pressure. You will have much more luck going off the beaten path and fishing areas that have much less boat traffic. Nofish, Musky or Specks is right that Port Rawson is a great place to camp and should be really private in May. The cruisers aren't out yet but the Blackflies might be! The only downside is that the distance is almost 7 miles, so if you have a small boat that is loaded down with gear, it will take quite awhile to get there.

Holdfast, I have been going there since 1990 and bank new good spots every year and have many old tried and true spots. Some become non-productive as the waterlevel changes, but some do not. What area did you fish when you were there and waht time of year was it? Have you been more than once?

Nofish, here is a general map. I will make a few comments below it for you. Where is says "The Massasauga Provincial Park" on the far right is where the park office and boat ramp is. It is located in Blackstone Harbour where most people camp their first time out as they get use to the waterway. Campsites 501 to 512 are in this bay. I know that 512 is good, but am not sure which others are good. If you feel more adventurous, you can camp in Captain Allan Straight shown in the bottom centre of the map. These sites are numbered from 302 to 306 on the north shore and 403 to 410 on the south shore. The best sites are 304, 305, 306, and 403. The advantage to camping in the Straight is that you can fish more areas from here easily such as Woods Bay to the right, or Moon Bay to the left. There is also a marina in Woods Bay if you need any supplies. They are also a licensed LCBO location for those emergency situations! All of these areas are quite well protected from the elements. You can actually call Oastler Lake PP who run the Massasauga and they might be able to give you some other campsite recommendations.

Try the Moon River basin on Georgian Bay. It is only a 2 hour drive from Toronto

John, do you know Eldon, the manager of the LCBO? Him and I grew up together south of Parry Sound.

You can order one through Cabela's.

It's funny that TJ mentioned the government making things "mandatory" and over regulating our lives, because I was thinking that very thing the other day. The government was considering making snow tires mandatory in the winter time like they do in Quebec and one other province. Where do they get off making these decisions for us? I personally buy good quality all season Michelin tires and never let them wear down to far before replacing them. I don't want the expense and storage issue of having two sets of tires for each vehicle that I own. What next?

What a tragedy, I just heard on the way into work that the two guys that were reported missing near Georgina Island were found in 13 feet of water about 1.5 km west of the island with their sleds right beside them on the bottom. They interviewed the wife of one fellow and she said that "he assured her that he would not venture out on the ice because he new it was not safe". My heart goes out to the families of these two people who are left to pick up the pieces. Please remember to stay off the ice unless you know that it is safe.

Man who walk through airport turnstile sideways going to Bangkok!

2 tone, this bird is difficult to learn on as it is a stunt heli that can fly upside down. I read allot of RC boards first and most people were sorry that they bought a basic heli first because they mastered it so quickly that they got bored with it and moved up. It took me a month the learn to get if off the ground without crashing it. Read more here: RC

Well my Sandie just turned 5 and is your typical water loving golden. I dread the day that I have to put her down. In this picture, I was taking some scenery shots out on Georgian Bay and crouched down to get a shot at water level. When I clicked the shutter she swam into the scene. As I am typing this, she came up to me for a pat!

I've had an RC heli for a year now. This one is really challenging and my first bird, so I still have allot to learn.

Fuel stabilizer eliminates the need to drain gas from the system. It is best to fill up your fuel tank, add the stabilizer, then run it through the entire system for at least 15 minutes.

I was told by an authorized Merc dealer that you can spray for into the cylinders of a 4 Stroke via the sparkplug holes to inhibit corrosion during the off season. Never spray fog into the carberators of any 4 Stroke motor.
