  1. These Hobies are sweet rigs. My buddy in Florida has the 14' version.
  2. There are sit on top fishing kayaks with adjustable seats. Low for paddlin' and high fer fishin' Jackson Kayaks and well as the Hobie PA's have them.
  3. Then buy one of the larger sit on top kayaks like the Jaskson Big Rig, Old Town Predator or Hobie Pro Angler models.
  4. I bought my Pilot @ 3 years old with 26K on it. It will be 12 years old in May!!!
  5. The Habs will only hire French speaking coaches. The talent pool is pretty shallow there.
  6. Here's an interesting article on which vehicles are kept 10 years or longer. Almost all ar Honda or Toyota. Pilot is #5 and Highlander is #3. No Hyundai's on the list and only one Subaru. All others are Toyota, Honda and one high end Toyota (Lexus). http://www3.forbes.com/business/10-cars-owners-keep-10-years-or-more/
  7. If they didn't they weren't paying attention. http://www.tsn.ca/habs-fire-therrien-name-julien-head-coach-1.671780 More goodies!!! http://www.bardown.com/the-hockey-world-erupts-after-michel-therrien-is-fired-and-replaced-by-claude-julien-1.671827
  8. This is a great article on picking a fishing kayak if you're looking to get one. https://www.saltstrong.com/articles/ultimate-guide-to-buying-a-fishing-kayak/
  9. For you Leafer's with mini me's. https://www.nhl.com/mapleleafs/fans/hockeydreams
  10. Picked up my 4,000# delivery of cedar for the cabin @ lunch today.
  11. The rear diff is completely different than a regular ring and pinion diff. It is electronically controlled by the vehicle's computers. When the computer senses slippage in the front wheels it will apply power to the rear. The inside of the rear diff looks exactly like the clutches in an automatic transmission. As the clutches wear the oil becomes contaminated (just like in an automatic transmission). Because the diff holds significantly less fluid and does not have an external cooler the fluid ages more quickly. If you leave it too long you can actually feel vibrations in the diff. It is a pretty quick job to drain and fill with fresh fluid so it's not a huge deal at all. It doesn't take any longer than doing an oil change.
  12. That goes for all three of the vehicles he asked about. Every 100K.
  13. The pilot has been around since 2003. Highlanders have been around since 2001. Not a big deal at all.
  14. I've been driving a 2005 Pilot since 2008 and love it. It will pull your boat easily. I tow my 18' with 115 and also tow a camper with it. Tomorrow I will be using it to pick up 4,000#'s of lumber with a 16' car hauler. Had no issues at all towing my nearly 3,000# camper through the Northern Rockies to Alaska. My lumber hauling rig. It also tows my snowmobile trailer. There are a couple of things to be aware of with them. 1/ change the tranny fluid every 90K 2/ change the rear diff fluid every 30K 3/ make sure to install the tranny and power steering coolers if your desired unit doesn't have the towing package.
  15. I also picked up a cheap Chinese hour meter off ebay for my generator at the cabin.
  16. Nice!!! Great little spot. Stacked with snook. Looks like hella fun.
  17. My neighbour at the lake has a landing craft. It was awesome for bringing out materials and he also hauled his side by side out with it. Lots of guys in Alaska use them. They are excellent for hunting and they can bring their quads out with them.
  18. My Smartcraft gauges for my 115 Merc let me know how many hours are on the motor.
  19. I know why Matt is a Sens fan!!! He's super cheap!!!!! http://www.bardown.com/ranking-the-average-ticket-price-for-the-canadian-nhl-teams-from-highest-to-lowest-1.669444
  20. The Nautilus chargers are excellent quality. They are built by Schumacher Electric and just rebranded. http://www.batterychargers.com/battery-chargers/
  21. Some interesting info here. http://www.sportfishingmag.com/comparing-4-and-8-carrier-braided-fishing-lines?src=SOC&dom=fb#page-5
