  1. I've had a Cumara for almost three years now. I really like it, from what I can remember? My girlfriend has taken it over. She just had carpel tunnel surgery so I gave here the lightest rod to use I had, she won't give it back. Go for it a really nice rod.

  2. I'd love to go, been a couple years since I have been to a m2Gt. I dont have a boat right now, but have all the equipment if someone is looking for a partner. Plus I have some knowledge of BofQ ;)

     

    Actually alot of knowledge.

    Even though I am still fairly new to the group I say show up the night before and sit around the bon fire. Or make sure you are ready to go in the morning. From what I have experienced is this is a great group to hang with and no one gets left on shore. :Gonefishing:

     

    btw... Cougars make good luck charms!!! wink.gif

     

    Dawg if you are correct on this, might as well hand me the trophy now B)

  3. Hey Henry,

     

    Check the posi post on the battery. I had that problem before and it turned out that the connection was bad at the battery. I put a washer underneath and everything was good again.

     

    also have you checked the miles of wire in there? Or the fuse? I believe there was one at the back of the boat?

     

    Worse case scenerio, a Terrova would look really sharp on the bow ;)

  4. I'm in. Just booked cottage number one. My girlfriend and I will be in one room. It's a two room cottage if someone wants to split with us. Buster this looks like an opportunity for you.

     

    My boat only has two seats in it, but I'm sure we could manage more if needed. I know you won't be left on shore so pm me if you are intrested or anyone else for that matter.

  5. Honda Ridgeline falls almost into this catagory. The only downfall is the 5 foot bed. Although I have had two xr 200 dirtbikes in the back no problem. Have also had the occasional sheet of plywood in the back, but not much. The tow hook and bed hooks make it easy to secure. Just got into my second one (leased) It's easy for me to say this is the perfect "pretend" truck for me.

  6. We had something come through last night around seven. Lasted about ten minutes. Wind was strong enough to knock over a 36 foot sail boat right infront of my house. Just out for a race night and out of nowhere they had capsized the boat. Another pontoon with a full canopy was going with the wind. I would guess he was doing about 50 mph, he was just boogying.

     

    Glad to hear you are ok.

  7. I might have a bit of experience here for you. When I was a boy I lived out of my vehicle. I had a 1988 Astro LT. That thing was hidious, but the best vehicle ever to use. I toured across Canada countless times from coast to coast. I lived in Jasper Alberta for 10 years, so I traveled the rockies ALOT!!!! I never had brake fade, never had a problem with over heating. Word of advice, learn to drive. Especially in the winter. In Jasper they did not use salt, and they hardly plowed. Everything was slow and steady. That's what got me where I wanted to go. I put a good set of truck tires on and went anywhere. 4x4's would get a little pissy at me when my old rear wheel drive could pull them out and go deeper than them.

     

    There is a whole world out there to see. I loved every moment I spent touring around. I am very glad I did it. When the old van hit 400 000 kms it was time to put it to bed. I upgraded to a 1998 safari thinking I would have the same happiness. That van lasted 3 months, it was a piece of crap. I would for sure say go Astro. Any one I talk too and any I have been in have been a much better vehicle over the GMC.

  8. In my opinion they all make great trucks. Every one of them will have their problems. This debate has been going on since the first one was ever built.

     

    After spending two years looking at every truck and suv on the market I ended up in a Honda Ridgeline. In the end with all the features It actually ended up being cheaper than the other guys. I am now on my second one (leased not broken).

     

    Look for the features that YOU want. What works for YOU. You're going to get a ton of opinions and get blood boiling over nothing. Get the truck that works for YOU!
