With a Ranger, the cap cannot come off, the only way to replace the transom is to cut the splashwell. To do the stringers, I have no idea.

Aren't smartcraft gauges great? My former boat, I did a max of 58 mph. It was a Ranger 370V pushed by a 150 Optimax. My current boat will touch 42 mph and burn a heck of a lot more fuel. However the 9.9 4 stroke kicker will very comfortably do 1.1 - 6.4 mph.

Before you allow them to flash anything research the n23 recall.

Sounds like a good time, and cause. We want pictures of the MC, not detailed close up pictures mind you, just pictures.....

If it a dedicated trailer, perhaps you could cut out 8" of wood deck for the tires to fit in after loading along with the chains, of course.

That is very cool!

Internet Explorer is what you use to download a real browser in my opinion.

Thanks Dave!

Ask Rodcaster about the potential dangers involved with AST aboveground storage tank removal. He does that type of work day in and day out. call these people for a price: http://www.itechenvironmental.ca/ 73 Sinclair Blvd Brantford, ON. N3S 7X6 Phone: 519-770-4402

Thanks very much for the advice, I will be trying it out next time I am on the water.

Twelve feet long off the ball? Or am I mis-reading your post Chris?

I was just going to say that! It was classic.

The spring clamp type. You squeeze and put the line into the jaws.

I was out today and having just switched to mono on my downrigging rods, I am finding that the releases on the cannonballs do not release. I was towing my catches rather than fighting my catches. I had a monster sheepshead on the line at the end of the day, ~10 pounds I estimate, and even that did not trigger the release. One will release as I am lowering the cannonball to depth, and I have to start over with the setup, like 4 times in a row. Then line further back in the clamp, and no release. What am I doing wrong?

Give Itech a call, they specialize in that type of work. Located in Brantford.

I would say that is some serious video editing. It did not show him actually hitting the marks. However it does bring a great point across.

Hamilton Bassmasters swap meet.

So the lesson here is to have a coffee on the go?

Knowing Ryan, your prizes are sitting untouched in his front hallway and will be delivered to your door. That's the kind of guy he is. Thank you so much for coming, it was great to see the two of you.

As an added bonus, this year the burgers will be charcoal grilled....

Excellent trip! Thanks for sharing.

Where is that in Dover? And how small, or big of a boat can get in the creek?

I launched at this establishment today, and upon my return, I decided to stop in for a beer. Much to my surprise it cost me a total of $5.75 for a bottle of Blue. I did not ask the price before ordering. That cost combined with a $20 launch fee gave me pause, I do not think I will be returning to spending any of my money there in the future.

Having done some restoration work, I would suggest that if you are going to do the job, do it complete. As North East Shark has done. When you remove hardware, bag it and tag it, you will thank yourself later when the time comes for re-assembly. I would suggest that you use an epoxy resin on all six sides after the pieces are cut and fitted to waterproof the good one side exterior grade plywood. Good luck with the restoration, it is a lot of work but well worth it in the end. There is a bass boat forum that has a really good sub-forum on restoration. May be worth a look. PM me if you don't know the site already.
