I knew i saw one a while back, great info... i think im gonna go about it the same way and crimp/knot/melt the leaders in place for added security. thanks

anyone out there aware of any navionics software (marine maps) that can be installed into any GPS unit? I hear a company called Fujiyama makes excellent programs, anyone heard of them?

i could swear i saw a post here a while back that walks through the process of making your own fluorocarbon leaders. i cant find it. does anyone remember what it was titled?

thanks for all the input guys... fyi...the boat will be in a very small lake that i normally cover with my canoe. i think im just gonna show him this post...then he may just give it away! lol ill keep you posted..

he did...but wants ME to name a price.

Thanks Garry, I figure parts like floats and seals will have to be replaced. Me and my old man should be more than capable of giving it an overhaul... once its been tuned up it should run smoothly shouldnt it? You may hear from me if i run into any big problems.

that bad eh?? figured i would pick it up and keep it at the trailer. whats the problem with em?

no toys to go along with it, no trailer. i may try to get a pic of it tonight...she aint pretty! LOL CCMT, i was thinking something along $400, keeping in mind there is a LOT of work to be done. the motor must be from the 60's, im sure some of you have seen em, camo green with the silver wings along the side

Hey all... I'm buying a boat from a freind and need to make him an offer but have no clue what it should go for. the boat itself is a 14' aluminum, pretty beat up. probably needs a new finishing and maybe some rivet work. the motor is an OLD Johnson 10hp. its one of the old green ones with the oldschool wings on the side LOL. he was told it worked when he got the boat a few years back but hasnt touched it since and he cant get it to turn over now. anyways... he said its mine, but i have to name a fair price. Any idea what you would consider fair for this fixer-uper?? thanks for the input.

I just bought a pair of Hugo Boss polarized glasses with a titanium frame (hopefully this will increase the normal life expectancy for my glasses) and they work great! tested them out at lake o yesterday. They set me back about $200 but well worth it, I compared them to my old polarized glasses ($20pair) and the difference was very noticeable. the store i bought them at had a huge selection of polarized glasses from Rayban that ranged in price from around $25 to $150. I went to pacific mall at steeles and kennedy, LOTS of optical shops there all willing to bargain! check it out if your in the area

bought mine at the show for $15, went to BPS on Monday and saw em on sale for $5!! D'OH!

hahah nice one Irishfield!

just curious... can you install marine data/maps into the portable GPS units used for the car?? are GPS downloads manufacturer specific?

true enough... and spring is just around the corner! cant wait to NAIL those protective male bucketmouthes!! just playin...

i digress...lock it if you want, i've said my piece. i can take a joke as much as the next guy, but see little humor in gun violence.

sorry gerritt, lose a friend to someone with that mentality and see if it doesnt rub you the same way...

get to work

Rick is that you from the ACC??

he works out of the yard at Saint Clair and Jane... saw the lightning strike in mississauga just west of the 427

my dad works for CP Rail, last night he saw a big bolt hit the rails and travel along the rail about 100M! Must have been a cool sight to see

thats what i figured... did you guys have a hard time finding minnows up there?

thanks for the tips Tapout, report to follow...

thanks for all the info Tony, i'll put it to good use.

do i really need to buy ice fishing line? or will my regular mono or braided spiderwire do the job? what size jig heads should i pick up? im fishing nippising this weekend if that makes any difference. any other tips/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
