braid to raven xxxs swivel to whatever fluorocarbon your heart desires.

Having looked a a few boats in person and 1,000,000 online I pretty much knew instantly when i saw it that it was going to be the one I was purchasing. If you want to tell how a guy has taken care of his boat when you go to see it, look at his garage, house and truck. The truck in the driveway was washed and its winter time, the house and gardens were all well kept and maintained and his garage floor was cleaner than my kitchen floor lol. I kept trying to find marks, dents, scratches, dock rash, loose screws, rust...anything...and i couldnt. When he got it running for me the second time i went to close the deal with him, he had fogged the engine in the fall so he cleared everything out, and put all new plugs in it for me. It was basically exactly what you would hope for when buying something used from someone. I generally take really good care of my stuff but even I doubt that i can keep up the level of maintenance and cleanliness that the boat is accustomed to lol. Is it the third saturday in May this weekend?

also...tipping the meegs with a tube...interestinggggggg are you cutting it down or are you finding tubes that short?

The 3 batteries and livewells are all located in the back of the boat so pourposing is definitely a concern, I imagine I have enough power here to push through it though. I dont believe that I have enough power to chine all over...every video on youtube of it the guys are pushing well over 60 and this boat isnt ever going to get going that quick. You guys really are some crazy buggers, chopping throttle and jumping wakes ahhaha holy cow. Plumma are you literally saying you will be pinned at full throttle then slam it back to 1/4 throttle and then power it back to full? or are you saying you are at full throttle, and then drop to 3/4 throttle then back to 4? hahah holy cow the day i try this will be a day that I am feeling very adventerous...ive always just backed off the throttle no matter what the boat and quartered wakes then sped back up...never been one to hammer it over the wake, i prefer to be not concussed lol. Grimsby, i literally only have acquaintances with bass boats, all of my immediate fishing friends and family are either in multispecies boats or the young guys are running 16 foot aluminums. Gonna be on my own on this one...as far as I am aware, i am the only full time cottager up in PAB with a bass boat, we get a few visitors around but nobody thats there all year. I think last year I saw 2 true bass boats up there all year lol Interesting you guys are saying chop makes your boat actually go faster? Im guessing its that it provides more air space beneath the boat reducing drag? Ive never thought of this concept. I wasnt going to bother posting pictures of my boat in someone elses garage, i figured itd be better to get photos once shes on the water! but because you ask, its too hard for me to not want to share with you guys lol Even funnier is you know I have a bunch of photos on my camera of it lol

I didnt even know Chine walk was a thing until now...holy hell that scares the Bejeesus outta me. I can imagine there are a lot of idiots out there that would hop in a boat that can do 100 and basically pin it the first day on the water....not my intention at all. Pointe au baril is typically too friggin rough to be running that fast anyways...i mean you can do it, but it also beats the living hell out of your boat. I will slowly learn what it does at each speed progressivly getting quicker until I hit top end. At this point I think the 45mph that our alumacraft can do feels very fast so I can only imagine what pushing past 50+ would feel like...I dont even really think I am one to drive that quick unless conditions are totally ideal and Im purposely deciding to drive really fast...I find driving around at 40mph plenty quick to get around anyways. The boat doesnt have a jack plate to allow for quick adjustments like that so I definitely wont be messing around with my outboard height until Im done getting the basics the way that I want them...then i can start talking about making adjustments, but until then I am sure that the boat will run just fine, the fine tuning can come once I am settled in with it. Its a small boat with a pretty big motor for its size...the insurance company tells me so

funny cause this is now the first year that I am wishing the ice away having just bought a boat and sure enough, theres no snow on the lake up there so its been making ice and will continue to probably right until april...Ive never seen such thick ice on G bay since I started on the lake 15 years ago.

if youve never hit a rock on Gbay have you really boated? at that price, id probably buy gas just to burn it for fun...holy crap! Marina gas these days is pushing 9 bucks a gallon pluma lol

lmao, he might have died, along with his teams hopes of ever being a competitive hockey team again.

big difference between stubhub online guys that are basically tec gurus figuring out ways to cheat the system, vs the grubby guy down on front street peddelling hard tickets.

Did you guys know that the scalper business in Toronto is actually run by criminal enterprise? Makes sense when you realize the grubby guy the street cant actually afford,nor get his hands on those $1000 platinum leaf tickets.

Haha bill, you think im a maniac? lol Im running the latest navionics software, you cant drive that lake without it!. If you think that stuff is accurate unless you are driving main drive lines, you have a death wish ahaha. Huge swaths of the lake are either A) totally uncharted see example below or B ) just very sparsely charted aka missing entire shoals, rocks and other fun things that will destroy your boat lol Its probably a good thing i spent 15 years driving a boat that couldnt go over 20kmh...kept the leg on the bottom of my outboard. hey...im not complaining cause this slows the flood of citiots down...I could probably sell the autocharting that ive done in the area lol...but this way my fishing spots dont get ruined as easily.

Art this is actually one interesting point because what used to take me a very very long time to drive to wont take me very long anymore. Plus in a 14 foot tinny your one 25 litre jerry can is a small reservoir in comparison to a boats fuel storage. Same plan as normal, decide where you are going, and then never exceed that distance, only hit spots that are on the way home if you want to change it up. your boat burns over 4 litres of fuel per minute???!!! how much power are you pushing holy cow. On G bay, if I see a problem going fast....i may as well brace for impact cause its game over for sure. This is one thing my old man taught me, you only drive the boat fast on your 10th pass over the same spot and even then, you dont drive fast because you never know what can be floating in the water. Grimsby is 100% correct about how stupid Gbay is...in fact one of my favourite fishing spots is on the side of an island that is about 400 meters long. The first 100 meters of shoreline is a flat area with a shoal thats 10 fow 50 meteres out from shore but then drops to 60FOW basically instantly... the next 100 meters and you can hop out of the boat onto shore and your boat is sitting in 60FOW, the next 100 meters is a 15 foot deep set of flats that juts out 200 meters from shore, but if you get within 20 meters of shore theres just a random shelf that comes up to 2fow is almost like a natural wave break because on the other inside of the 20 meter rock wall its still 10 FOW right up to shore, and then the final 100 meters of shoreline is a giant 12 foot deep weed bed that spans out from the island 500 meters out into the middle of the lake, and the weed clumps all have open channels of exposed rock....if thats doesnt describe how georgian bay works....then i dont know what does... Lucky for me Pointe au baril's main drive paths are very very well charted and marked, so it allows you to easily get to a generalized area safely when running a good GPS and following the bouoys...typically when going to new areas and due to the complete lack of charting on Gbay i drive where I am going on the driveline and then pull the motor up and drop the bow mount to figure out the rest. Luckily G bay has some very very clear water as well so typically its easy to spot rocks when driving slow like that or being on the bow mount. Excellent details from an experienced boater, these tips are gold. From my visits with the boat, the gelcoat looks really really good, the thing is a garage queen, got dropped in a lake, fished for a day and then was taken home. boat was waxed etc regularily...not a single mark of dock rash or anything on it. Im still torn about my storage situation, I have a boat house that i can park it in, or I can throw it on a trailer but then I wont have anything to neccesarily keep it out of the sun and elements...thats a whole other debate...to park in the water inside a boat house, or to put on trailer outside weekly. The hull is going to get stained regardless unfortuntatly for me, the inside of channel of pointe au baril is tea stained due to the sediment at the bottom of the lake, i dont get the benefit of that gin clear water 2 kilometers away. yup, definitely need to get a pile of fuses to throw in the boat I got offered 4.5% on the Heloc...I think youve shown us bunk, the boat doesnt catch the fish, the fisherman does.

sorry i keep saying misfish, its grimsby that was talking about opening up the lake! Grimsby, you are saying that theres a guage that actually measures the water pressure on newer boats. I honestly have never seen one! I know that mine didnt come with one. im stuck with the standard tack, volt and speedo (doesnt even have a trim guage) had the boat running, idling and going when i went to check it out...everything appeared to be working perfectly. New hydraulics on the trim as well replaced last year. I do indeed want to figure out what height to get the motor mounted to. Who knows what level he has the motor at currently. From what im reading online guys like to run the prop to pad at 3 1/2 but im sure the guys on BBC would have some input I will definitely post up about it. I like your comment about not using an autoinflate while running...rumours are now saying that may have been the issue down on okeechobee...nothing confirmed yet.

For the most part Ohio, I have never fished distances exceeding 14 kilometers from home base as fuel supply and simply the time it takes painfully driving my short arm tiller make it not worth it. There is obviously really good fishing to be had within this range from base camp. With a boat that does 50mph instead of 12....the lake really starts to open up, just like misfish said. The only limitation now will be weather due to exposure once you head 20+ k to the south or 16k to the west. Pick your days!

winter aint done yet, dont be fooled, its still february. I guaratnee theres some snow ahead for us. Once April hits though, lets get out on the water, ive got a new boat and chasing some crappies will do me just fine until pickerel and Pike opens up again.

This is great...seems a lot like driving my buddies under powered Legend. You have to really trim down to get it out of the hole shot and then slowly trim up till you hit the sweet spot that you are on plane but not porpousing like crazy. As mentioned by Misfish, i am really looking forward to the expansion of the lake territory that I can now access in reasonable time. I can easily fish the entire Shawanaga Inlet with ease now. Theres almost more fishing opportunities than you could cover in an entire lifetime in that area. Should be fun, just gotta remember im in a fibreglass not an aluminum!

i love watching our rivals make bad trades go leafs go!

jesus ohio...i dont know if i necessarily believe it...but after moving the boat by hand last night its gotta be close. You can move the boat around easily by yourself. With a 130 two stroke, shes gonna zip for sure.

nash quite literally might be the most overrated player in NHL history...anyone else care to chime in on this one? He had one season with 79 points...aside from that he hasnt done anything close to classifying himself as an "elite player" in the NHL. Lol i love watching boston get even slower than they already are....i personally think if the leafs get matched up against them in the playoffs that the buds have the upper hand...Boston has no chance of containing the speed of the leafs.

Any tips on driving a bass boat? Im pretty darn cautious and not one to rip it full tilt very often, but from what Ive read around the internet, this set up will do mid 50's with a half tank of gas and the livewells empty. Thats a little different then the 29kmh my tinner topped out at lol.

Plekky is gonna be so thankful to get out of that dumpster fire hes gonna play awesome for the leafs. Guy was expected to be a top of the line player in Montreal, and in Toronto hes our 4th centre Watch what him and kappanen get up to on the fourth line..

damn well done jim lol can be frustrating when you cant even catch perch, but then you go and hammer whities. Right on, i think the whole season has turned the corner..after a ridiculously slow January and start to February, i went out this weekend and had a double header tip up bite and non stop action on the perch and walleye.

4th line centre...babs doesnt really like moore that much with option to resign for a bozak replacement in 2019

I really wonder if bozak is being packaged up...
