Gbay is great, but it's nothing like the Attawapiskat or other similar flyin lodges on big river/water systems. The first day up on North Caribou I think we put 5 or 6 in the boat over 40in. You're not doing that on Gbay.
My go to under the float for fall brownies are white jigs, I love fishing that in the frog water. Don't count out live emeralds as well, nothing will pass that up!
Raf, I guess you need to weigh the pros vs cons. I'd hate to lose warranty as well. Luckily any diesel I've bought has been out of warranty so it's never been a concern.
Any modern diesel with the amount of emissions crap they've slapped on them in recent years will have issues. EGRs, SCR systems, DPF, the list goes on and on. Another reason to delete all that stuff, get a retune and never worry about it again.
