  1. Is it $20 every time or just a one time fee for the season? and how is the launch/parking? I plan to go there this weekend. Thx
  2. That sucks dude, glad your ok, at first I thought you hit something with the boat until I saw the truck!
  3. I searched the net a bit and it seems like you can use car wax for fiberglass, just wanted to see if this is correct? I don't have a fiberglass boat but the console is fiberglass. Thx
  4. I second that! A 25hp Etec would be sweet! I love my 75Hp Etec, awesome motor.
  5. Thanks for the info guys! Much appreciated. I don't think I'll venture to "Devils Hole" lol.
  6. Hey Dirk, So far I've put 12hrs on the W55 wirelss motor guide , I really like it. Yesterday I figured out I can steer from the console and just leave the trolling motor running straight and use the outboard as the rudder, works very well. 16ft boat with 3 ppl, full tank(24 gallons) & gear does 2.4mph. battery seems to last 4+ hours. Don't forget online reviews can't be accurate/valid for every bad review there could be 1000s of satisfied customers. Just my 2 cents.
  7. I plan to get out to the Niagara river for the first time this Sunday, I know that there is a boat ramp near Queenston was given directions for it. I also know that I have to stay on the canadian side, now my questions are any specific conditions(ie river current) I have to be aware of I'm in a 16ft boat, I'm mainly going for smallies as most of my gear is towards that. Any suggestions as where to fish as in up the river or south of the launch? is it busy ie do I have to get there early to be able to park etc..? Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. PMs welcome. I've been waiting for a long time approx 2 years to try this river and its one of the reasons I upgraded from a 14ft boat. Thx
  8. Sign me up too, just need to get 60hp decals
  9. Here is a tip for your leaky gulp tub, use a Zip Lock bag!
  10. I had the same problem too, plus had my old boat to sell. But I did find old 08 stock had to drive 3hrs away. I was only looking at 16ft boats that would fit in my garage. I would say the US is the best bet especially if you can get the dealer to bring the boat over for you even better!
  11. If someone knows of a good evinrude dealer where I can pick up an extra prop & xd50/100 oil for a decent price, please PM or reply. Motor is a 06 75hp Etec. Thx
  12. Awesome I don't plan to play on Big water a lot, I can get a good deal on a 54" PowerDrive V2 so thats what I'll probaly end up with. Thx
  13. Hi Folks, I just picked up a 16ft Ultracraft Stealth, it didn't come with a trolling motor, so I'm wondering which shaft length I should get? the boat's bow is 39"s would a 54" be long enough? Thx
  14. Hi folks, I got a Q If I sell my boat & trailer do I keep the trailer's plate? like when you sell a car? Thx
  15. I'm hoping to get out tomorrow too, does anyone know how Orillia is? south chouchiching/narrows/north simcoe? Thx
  16. 2006 Jeep Commander, avg 15mpg very happy with it a little over kill for what I tow I don't even need to use the tow button, but eventually will get a bigger boat. Excellent 4x4, In fact I like jeeps so much I will be upgrading my wife's camry to a diesel GC in 4-5 years and will keep this one for as long as I can.
  17. My Bad, at these prices I bought all of it for next year's soft water fishing season:)
  18. There is a bait shop at Jane & 401, right before 401 going south on the west side, I think its $4.30 per 2 dozen they open as early as 4am.
  19. Hi Folks, I'm planning on going to Rice lake this Saturday for the first time with my 14ft boat, does anyone have any recommendations which boat launch with dock to use close to the otabonne(sp?) river? Thanks
  20. I'm a princecraft fan, but you'll get more if you buy the Tracker prov16, the link you posted is not the prov16. The prov16 is wider and slightly higher should handle rough water a little better, the 50hp 2 stroke should be enough to do high 20s mph(27-29mph). Also to properly compare you would compare the prov to a princecraft resorter/starfish dlx.
  21. Seems like a good event, will have to check Valens out this year and maybe do next year's derby. Thanks for the info/post!
  22. Thanks! Will definitly check it out.
  23. Does anyone know if they have a decent launch & dock?
