    Hey Gil, beauty boat! Do you have more pics? I was wondering about a bow mount trolling motor and what canvas top is that? Does it get in the way when it’s down? 

  2. A lot of the time there will be 3 ppl in the boat. The 25hp does have the variable trolling switch to dial it right down. And the 25hp is very close in weight. I only priced the 15hp I think I’ll be going back to the dealer to see the price difference. Yamaha site says the 15 is $3600-4000 and the 25 is $4600-5800 not a huge difference 

  3. Hey guys, I’m looking at purchasing this boat 

    https://www.kijiji.ca/v-powerboat-motorboat/oshawa-durham-region/2022-mirrocraft-3696s-utility-fishing-boat/1606800821

    it’s rated for a max of 25hp.

    The lake that My camp is on is a large inland lake but with tons of islands rock piles and shoals. It’s a dangerous lake if you don’t know where your going. I was originally thinking of getting the 15hp. The dealer is trying up sell me and get the 25hp. What should I get? Go in between and get the 20hp? I do all walleye fishing with a lot of trolling. I do not need a speed demon but don’t want to be pushing water either. Im going with a Yamaha outboard. 

  4. I had a 2012 Jeep Wrangler with the 3.6 and I wasn’t that impressed with the motor. Had some electrical issues with it. Might have been a jeep  thing! I have had my 2017 ram with the 5.7 for the last 3 years and I love it. I’ve towed my 26’ camper trailer with zero issues and what you tow would be nothing for it. And I’m impressed at the fuel mileage I get with a full size with a v8. 

  5.  I want to buy a new boat for next spring and I’m unsure with what I want. I’ve fished out of a tinner bench seats my whole life and want to upgrade. I’m looking at boats like the prince craft resorter, Lund fury, and mirrocraft outfitter or laker. I want a boat that I can have all my gear in launch and go. But is a steering wheel really needed? It would be sweet to giver to another spot driving with one but that’s typically only a few min drive. I fish all in land lakes. And do I upgrade to a bow mount trolling motor or keep using a transom mount electric?

  6. So I booked with "fishing with Pedro" a guy with one boat. His Facebook page looks good with great reviews. I was reading that the main ones have multiple boats and hire guys that know nothing about fishing. If I were to stay on the main land and for someone also interested search Roberto narravo guiding. He tournament fishes down there and guides. And the wife knows we are spending more then enough on the trip and charter etc. I've been to Mexico a few times now and I feel perfectly safe there especially Cozumel. Jamaica on the other hand was the complete opposite I'd never go back there

  7. Hi guys, I booked a Cozumel resort for this December for my wife and I anniversary. We want to book a fishing charter for our anniversary even though it's suppose to be a bit of the off season there for fishing. I was looking at between chichi and Cozumel charters. Does any one been there and can recommend a company? Any experience? Anyone other advice?

  8. I had this idea for up at my camp around wawa cause I can't boot it down the highway on an UTV. A guy in the sault has one and uses it with tracks to get to his camp in the winter with tracks. He says being right hand drive it's impossible to insure now days and sits at his camp. Have you got insure on yours?
