  1. Try contacting the local marinas to see if they can recomend someone. Also try an upholster. I had a soft top made for my Blazer way back when. It was in Hinton Alberta though so no good on giving you the name.

  2. I would not neccisasarily turn them away. As Joey said it is business. It's gambling in a way. Just like using your credit cards on line or over the phone. They still get accepted, but you do not see the signature.

     

    Anything can be forged these days. If they have your cards they could easily change a photo id to match signatures and photos.

     

    We have a lot of repeat customers so I do not really worry about it. Although some do get checked over more than others. With it going through the auto machines now though, they would have to work quick to get it through. I had a customer whose husbands card was used in France half an hour before they came in to purchase something from us on another card and it had already been stopped, even though they were different cards.

  3. Used to own a Chevy Astro (1988) that thing rocked. It would go anywhere and pull very easily. After 17 years I had to replace it. Got a 1998 Safari. There was no comparison. The Astro was a way better vehicle. Safari lasted 3 months and got replaced by the Ridgeline.

  4. Are you able to post picture of the seat recievers? It would give us a better chance to see what you need.

    I'll let someone else chime in on the motor. Again it depends on ground clearance, boat size, motor lenght, etc. There should be a tilt tab on the side of your motor though to be able to trailer it raised. Then you could tie it down to the trailer to keep it from bouncing. Just an idea, again someone else probably has better info.

  5. I just got back from my annual Bass Pro Spring shopping spree and I actually spent less than I normally do.

     

    To my surprise that had a lot of Shimano gear on sale, I went specifically to purchase a Cumara rod and then I noticed they had Crucial`s on sale so I picked up a nice dropshot rod for 50 bucks off. The Crucial was 139 and the Cumara was 269. I just could not justify spending 130 more for the Cumara.

    Also picked up some tubes at 4 bags for 10 bucks,some x-raps,gulp minnows,assorted hooks etc. at pretty good prices.

     

    After reading your post it makes me feel good for shopping at my local tackle shop. I managed to get a Cumara rod from them last year with tax for less than what I see Bass Pro has it for.

     

    A couple of weekends back when I was at Lebaron I was looking for the Cumara to see what their price was. They had none that I could see. However they did have the Crucial dropshot rod on for roughly $160.00. Add that with the no tax deal they had going on, I couldn't pass it up. It will be interesting to see the difference between these two rods as they are the same specs.

  6. Went and checked it out yesterday. Nothing. The only Augers they had were 6" hand augers for $45.00.

     

    The whole trip was a bust. Checked out CTC and they had a few things, including an old Stradic FH for $180.00. Asked if it was on sale and their reply was people will buy so NO. Well I guess i'll go else where and buy the new model for less then.

     

    Guess I'll just sit here and read of all the deals being had at BPS <_< and wish I lived closer.

  7. Torture, absolute torture. I am going through withdrawl here and all you guys can do is talk about all these deals and show pictures. You're all cruel, the whole bunch of ya's! Reef Runners are one of my best producing lures and seeing those deals really hurt. Guess I'll settle and go to CTC in Kingston.

     

    However I did luck out last Sunday and manage to get into Lebaron in Ottawa. Guessing they were open because of the show and family free fishing weekend? I wasn't going to get much because the last time I was in there I got really peved. Just a look around, never hurts to look. I grabbed a couple of muskie lures out of the sale bin for less than $3.00. Then my wife came in and had mentioned that it was also a no tax day. Oh crap the pressure mounted. Needless to say I ended up $350.00 poorer.

     

    Gerritt I looked at the Stratic 2500 FI. I got the FH model last year and really like it. I opted to go with the Saros instead it was about $60.00 cheaper and seemed to be very similar. All I can say is it took to line really well. All it's doing right now is sitting in the corner waiting to get used and abused.

  8. I fish very clear water on the St. Lawrence and up near Bancroft. I use Power Pro 50 on my baitcaster (had a few birdsnest becasue I'm a rookie, but never had to cut it out.) On my spinning rods I use PP 20. I do not use a Floro leader and only use a Ti leader when targeting pike. I've never had a problem catching fish. But also like mentioned earlier, I also don't make any money fishing <_<
