  1. All this time you thought that was Paul Bunyon's golf ball out there on the side of 69 eh John !! LOL
  2. " whats his name Mellows" LOL Still workin I see... I grew up in a butcher shop...so while all the other kids fished with worms, I fished with cut offs of Bologna, Mock Chicken, Salami and other slimmy meats.... much to my frustration. Mind you last weeks beef liver was the best for Rideau River cats...bambo rod and 15 feet of string.
  3. Don't remind me Paul..especially considering I was away from a computer for 19+ weeks last season! I told myself last spring when I was in a similar predicament...that I needed to stay off OFC this winter...and I didn't listen to myself. Will be 12 to 14 hours days in the shop, every day, to make ends meet now... before mid May.
  4. Well Mike.. I've managed to get a whole 100 hours of work done in the shop...in the last 4 months!!! ...so OFC is gonna take a back burner for the next 6 weeks so I can get what I'm supposed to already have done..done..so I can head North SOON.
  5. Heck...no mention of the 10" Mr T LOL
  6. Nobody misses me when I disappear for a month at a time... ...oh that's right..everyone just breaths a big sigh of relief! LOL
  7. Would recommend Adventure Fishing Maps...but it appears they have Red Lake, Little Vermilian, etc....but Not Birch http://www.adventurefishingmaps.on.ca/
  8. Still -12C up here, but that South wind is working on it. Keith... Just watch that Phil guy doesn't steal all the big ones on you...
  9. All depends how they make it. Glass always looks heavy..but besides building in aluminum (as most of you know I do - 1/4 thickness of your boats hull landing in waves at 80MPH!) I also work closely with a company outside of London that builds "Glass" aircraft floats. Using the latest technology we've got those down close to the weight of alumium floats in the smaller sizes and the larger size floats are actually lighter than any aluminium ones on the market in a similar size. The secret is vacuum bagging and resin infusion. If Lund builds their fiberglass in "standard" form with a chop gun..forget it.
  10. You sure you saw a glass Lund Boat David??? and not the 2025 Pro-V Limited Edition they've been showing around the show circuit? Did you see this..
  11. Don't think they own Tracker line John...to the best of my knowledge these are the companies that Brunswick owns building boats. Brunswick makes Albemarle, Baja, Bayliner, Boston Whaler, Cabo Yachts, Crestliner, HarrisKayot, Hatteras, Laguna, Lowe, Lund, Maxum, Meridian, Palmetto, Princecraft, Sea Boss, Sea Pro, Sea Ray, Sealine, Triton and Trophy. In my opinion it makes no sense for them to go fiberglass and compete with their own companies..but then again they make Crestliner/Lowe/Lund/Crestliner just to give people many choices to hand over money to one parent corporation. As for Salpro's comment about price. Go get quotes on Tracker, Crestliner, Princecraft and Lund..with as close to similar models as you can. Ask for the EXACT same options, seat pedestals and seats (Captians chairs can run a Grand alone), motor, kicker and electronics and you might just find that Lund isn't priced any higher than the rest. The Tracker 21WT ends up costing lots more than a 2025 Pro V..heck more than my 2150 Baron as matter of fact.
  12. Nope...circled Lakair and then headed N/E from there....over Nippissing towards Stugeon Falls.
  13. Sure like the shape of those Bernie !! Are they available anywhere over the counter...besides Powassan?
  14. Wanna spark the desire to nest build....do a high percentage water change.
  15. Didn't the OPP pull her over drunk and naked on Lake Joe last year...
  16. It's just 1" x 1/8 steel that you can grab at CTC for $5 with two tabs welded on to attach the transducer to. Top bend to suit transom thickness and clamp with a C clamp style vise grip... or manual screw C clamp.
  17. Ted...I'm an Electro-Mechanical Engineer...that's how I knew about the "Magic Smoke" ! LOL
  18. As Brian pointed out it's been official since way back in the fall. I had a thread up about this back in November or so when I also advised that the Lund assembly line was being shut down in Manitoba the Monday after I was signing my order for my Baron...that thankfully was being built in the USA. I'll see if I can find the thread and link it here. Lots of good thoughts as to why it's pretty stupid considering all the glass lines Brunswick already has. I also told the VP of Lund.... when he was on the phone with me for an hour (apologizing for some of his useless dealers), three weeks back..... that I thought their going glass was a big mistake and he said "I guess we'll see".
  19. What Charles said...subtract the "I don't use" from the total votes count = number that use bait
  20. CORRECTLY SIZED Breakers are to keep the "magic smoke" from coming out of the wires. Once the magic smoke has escaped...nothing works anymore..that's why it's called magic smoke!! LOL
