Yup its insane.....even a bleeding heart liberal like myself thinks the pendulum has swung too far sometimes. ( and i did not for one second intend to sound like i thought you did not feel for the victims )

I know saltydawg...i laughed a bit too, it would be a joke but cant help thinking of the 77 families that lost their kids and then it aint so funny. But yeah...its laughable for sure!

Nice.....I hate you...my boat had to be retired early this year.

Awwwwww.....poor guy.

Good to know Sinker...i think i'm getting closer to getting one. Its actually 11" skinnier than that ...32" to be precise...do you think that will be a problem? It does not have pull start...any pull starting would be an attempt to get the clutch to spin with a belt or piece of rope.

I give you full permission Bill...right up till the point the piston pops out! Eever since seeing the venture lite a few years back i wanted one....but over the years i have been leaning more towards a utilty type sled. The viking looks good as do many other brands that make utility sleds...i just think the viking/bearcats/IQ600Widetracks/Skandics are overkill for what i want a sled for. If i get it Ben you will for sure see it out on Bull...cant wait to try the GPS out on those depth contours we found. good to hear, gives me a little more confidence to hear other people think this sled is a good choice. Will do! I am hearing some good things about the ACE600 Yeah......i mean its rare i go on long excursions alone....but dropping the sort of cash i will be....i really dont want to have niggling worries about anything! But i am researching the options to lower the risks of being stuck out on the ice unable to start your ride home! LOL.....Thank goodness you were there that day to unstuck the purple beast from el slusheroony....i was soaked....lol...GOOD TIMES! The ski stance on the Tundra is actually 32". Expedition looks nice too. We dont have that much choice up here....you are lucky.

Great shot Dan. Was good to see ya the other day too! LIKED!

I am getting a block heater for it, carrying jumper cables wherever i go( i know no use if i am alone), there is an onboard charger available as well as battery blankets.

I posted this thread on an icefishing forum....had a couple replies saying this machine is very tippy, I can kind of see why this might be with the suspension system and skinny ski stance........... any thought on this folks?

Nice one guys....i had a look on the net and found this <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/plRIpF-sw78" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Thanks man. Good to get some feedback. Thanks man, I think the link is broke....It was meant to go to the Tundra LT I chose. Thanks Jacques....now go get a 14 pointer! Thanks Bill, Like I said....the link was meant to go to a Tundra long track I chose....have added the 2 up seat with heated grips for the passenger...should be good for deep stuff and trails. Awesome info BP! I like that it also has a fan radiator as well as extended heat exchangers. The only thing that is worrying me is no pull start...however it is a dry sump which should help. Yup.....snowmachines insurance is not cheap (pro rata )

Thanks Blair.

Hi all, Thanks for all the advice and debate folks. Quite the journey deciding what to get. Started off looking at Bearcats...Yammies and Skidoos. Liked the Skidoos....liked the Skidoo 4 stroke 600ACE engine. Thought about a Tundra Longtrack, a bit too tippy with the narrow ski stance. Thought about an Expedition Sport, wider ski stance. Got to thinking about power and after listening to a few folks here and elsewhere decided it might be a bit underpowered for either of the above models( particularly thinking about getting through slush with passenger and 300lb+ flip up shelter) Was liking the idea of long and wide track, just not convinced the 600ACE would suffice. Looked at the next Expedition up with the 1200cc 4-Tech ....looking good. Got some positive feedback about it from some members on here and a good fishing buddy.... sourced one in Winnipeg.... got a relatively good deal... finance now in place..... pick it up on Thurday with a new Triton aluminium trailer. Looks like i will have to wait at least another 5 years for my quad....but oh well...at least i will have a nice ride for 4 months of the year. Got back from winterpeg an hour ago.....on the road all day....the BEAST is in the driveway....can't wait to give her a spin down the road. Pics in the am. MY NEW RIDE

Nice buck....better fishes...AWESOME FALL BRONZE....AWESOME

Thanks Fang, My buddy is filling his deer ttags quickly....he just bought a really good $800 grinder, that looks like a good way to keep him chewing in the boat so he can't talk my ears off!

Good show old bean! some good fish. Your a better man than me...i plan to fish less every year.....i fished a little bit less....lol....wishful thinking and half measures availed us nothing Look forward to the update posts

Good luck Jacques....at this rate you might be looking at another name change already

Hi Y'all. Think the boat needs to get winterized this week if i can thaw out the hose pipe long enough to fog the motor.....lol. Headed back to LS for a final kick at the can. Was expecting a much better bite....was not to be. We got our limit of nice 17" fish, but the bites, though aggressive, were at least half an hour apart. Marking lots on the bottom....not much moving. Water temp was still a respectable 47F at the surface, but it was blowing a blizzard and -8C on the way out and did not go above -2C all day. Cliff missed a rough grouse on the way out....lol...even they were hunkered down! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/N-dkx66X2Ls" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Good on ya for braving the elements. I too had a banana in the boat incident this year, my buddy still gives me heck for freeking out on him....lol.

Had to share....just too cute. Jack has chosen to be Superman this year for halloween.

So sorry for your loss Paul.

Yup.....try this link to a post i did when i got my Otter 3 years ago. MY OTTER OUTDOORS 3 MAN FLIP UP SHELTER Although the material seemed flimsier than the Top of the line Frabil at the time it had more leg room out front. I went for the bench seat because my wife was expecting and i thought the bench would be better set up for small kid. I chose the Otter because the sled part of it was just way sturdier and deeper.

And he has the hoof on the wrong foot! Friday's supper is looking good! Gangnam Style! Was an awesome day.....i really appreciated being out there yesterday....countin' my blessings!

Hi all, Good fall bite this afternoon, all 30' to 45' FOW on jig and slip bobber with 4" to 6" minnows. Also got a few birds on the way in. Rained almost all day, but was around 10C with little to no wind....i'll take that for a day in late October ! <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/V0de72Ierb0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Great looking pup. Love that vest thing. Would get Roloff one....but it would be nothing more than a fashion Statement as I dont Hunt.
