HTHM

Make that two people who are curious. I have heard a lot of good things about synthetic oils.

Here, hold my beer and watch this....

Well seeing how there is only one RANGER posted so far......Here is mine this will be a "before" shot The "after" shot is gonna be a while....

Thanks to all who have chimed in on this, vinnimon esp! If it ends up being shipped, I will go FedEx. Two wise men can't be wrong, eh?

The first thing I did after posting, was talk to UPS and that is the way it appears to be going. However, a penney saved, is still in my pocket.....

I was all over the US on Craigslist looking for my ranger, I still have a lot of research let on my email. If you want it it's yours. PM me your email and I will forward a sweet boat that I found.

Jim, I wish I had clients like you. Even better, an occasional fishing partner as well.

Is anyone going to Virginia in the next month or two? I have a set of Ranger seats that I need picked up and brought back.

We use it here due to the quality of water in our well.

I can't get either so I am gonna give my review before anyone else..... Great show with a funny host. Very annoying laugh though...I especially like the part where he hooked that one fish and brought it into the boat with just a flip of his rod. All in all well worth watching.

t-minus 59:42 till lockdown...

So that blondes can fish with a magnet..... Let's all wait for Solo to chime in with the correct answer In the meantime, here is what Wikipedia says: The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a species of salmonid native to tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America as well as much of the central, western, eastern, and especially the northern portions of the United States. The ocean going (anadromous) form (including those returning for spawning) are known as steelhead, (Canada and the United States) or ocean trout (Australia). The species has been introduced for food or sport to at least 45 countries, and every continent except Antarctica. In some of these locations, such as Southern Europe, Australia and South America, they have had very serious negative impacts on upland native fish species, either by eating them, outcompeting them, transmitting contagious diseases, or hybridization with closely related species and subspecies that are native to western North America.[1][2] The species was originally named by Johann Julius Walbaum in 1792 based on type specimens from Kamchatka. Richardson named a specimen of this species Salmo gairdneri in 1836, and in 1855, W. P. Gibbons found a population and named it Salmo iridia, later corrected to Salmo irideus, however these names became deprecated once it was determined that Walbaum's type description was conspecific and therefore had precedence (see e.g. Behnke, 1966).[3] More recently, DNA studies showed rainbow trout are genetically closer to Pacific salmon (Onchorhynchus species) than to brown trout (Salmo trutta) or Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar), so the genus was changed. Unlike the species' former name's epithet iridia (Latin: rainbow), the specific epithet mykiss derives from the local Kamchatkan name 'mykizha'; all of Walbaum's species names were based on Kamchatkan local names.

Somehow I don't think an AME would sign off on that....

I do have a cover, it is 20' wide by 40' deep with a roll up door.

It takes a man to be wrong, but it takes a bigger one to admit it.

With the table saw I would suggest looking very hard at the new granite tops, they are very stable.

Memories of '77, eh? That was one heck of a storm too! Stay safe and warm if you can.

Do you still have it?

I did save bringing it over, but I did not have the ability to give it a good check out before pulling the trigger. Bringing it over was very easy, give US 72 hours notice, and show up at Canada customs, pay the duty and go. All in all about a half hour.

Yes you did I was on my way back from my brothers, he was giving me advice on repairing the trailer fenders and ways to shine 'er up.

So?????????? How is it?

Having done just that, what helped me in my choice, was a good gut feel about the seller. Remember the seller is a guy like you, he doesn't want to sell something that is poor or lie to your face about any issues. If you get the feeling that the fellow is less than honest, trust it, and walk away. Just my 2 pennies.

Well, there is the house that we have fixed up, our children, my life insurance.....you get the picture Actually it was a planned purchase out of my inheritance. (I would rather have the man who taught me to love fishing and the family ties that come from it, but....)

I too, am saddened that we will no longer see your radiant smile and impeccable nails holding on to some BAD fish! That combined with your wonderful ability to make one and all feel welcomed will be sorely missed in these parts. Whatever the reasons, I wish you well.
