Nice fish, looks like a good day on the ice, gotta love those perch.

The gas tank is in the wrong place...... Does he drive a bass boat too??????????????

You should have gone to the auction with Purenewf LOL

Ultimately the final decision is yours as it is your money you are spending and most importantly you have to buy a machine that best suits your needs. There are many names on the market that are very much on par with each other. Having lived in behind the Younge St arena at Victoria we had many years of direct access to Lake Simcoe as well as the joy of riding some amazing trails thru Muskoka and Haliburton. Now having had 2 winters in Yellowknife with temps from plus 30 in the summer to -53 in the winter I feel the same 2 machines that we had in Innisfil WHICH are the same 2 machines that we have in Yellowknife are tried and tested as any machine can get. Yes they are a solid axle Polaris 400 chain driven plus a 500 polaris shaft drive. The only thing I have replaced is a battery. The 500 we use for plowing and ice fishing as well as the 400 for icefishing. They are no different than cars or trucks, you push them too much, be prepared to pay . Any of them will encounter issues from time to time Once u make your purchase enjoy.......there alot of fun

Good luck and I hope u find what your after but be careful on prices. Lived 3 miles from there for 18 years and frequented the auction countless times. For the purchase of our 2 sleds and 2 atvs in each and every case we walked away from the auction without buying and on the 4 sepeate purchases got a better product for much less money on kijiji. The purchases took us from Carp to Callender but well worth it. Too many people bidding on too few items.

Thanks for sharing DD, thats what it is all about, family, friends, fishing, and trying to enjoy a part of every day. Nice job, could almost see our old house inthe background of the whitie pic. Cheers

OH Irishfield.....................we really need to talk LOL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Good one

do u just scribe a line from the mounts onto the frame to ensure correct placement

good point , have taken an engine out before but not the clutch, can u please if u have the time pm me about this center to center measurement etc , I love to learn.

Under - 20c it takes almost 20 pulls, runs great once it fires up

Thanks for the tipTybo, looks like I will have to lift the motor

Welcome back, looking forward to more stories and pics, I'm getting the impression you like to fish

Thanks to Jedimaster, I will try the other wrenches first but if not a torch is coming out, there is too much snow and ice not to enjoy Cheers Some do hickies you never let go of . Might have to customize a wrench haha.

Bill I will check that out also, I know I have a few of those given to me from my dad a few years ago, forgot about them till u mentioned it.

Thanks Old Man, judging by the shape it might work

OUCH thats worse than tax pain

Thanks great thought, but unfortuately nothing like that, I dont want to pull the clutch off either if I do not have to. Who designs these dang things anyway LOL, well more like lol it's not really that funny. Still 4 feet of ice with good snow on the lakes.

No worries man, i wish it was a car or truck.

There is a bolt I cannot reach at the bottom of my starter for removal, please can someone tell me that I do not have to lift the motor out to reach it. Any help is greatly appreciated. John

First off, too bad the tragidy happened, my prayers go out to the family . Having served 15 years as an auxillary I have saw many things including people who played with trains and lost, there is no need to go on. The point is your friend tried to help, but based on the info he received, the initial responders assured him everything was in control and his services were appreciated but not required. However many people do not know how to react when they first approach a situation like that. They stop to offer assistance with the best of intentions but are not totally aware of what they may see. Shock will sometimes set in not just for the injured but also for the initial people stopping to offer assistance, They become focused on helping with the people that they see in front of them. And unfortunately without asking questions, the injured may not be of the state of mind to mention who else was travelling with them etc. Without fault some others forgot to acertain these things. And no one knows if it would have made a difference. Again everyone tried to do the very best and it is nice to see in this world that lives will be saved by people who are willing to stop and lend a hand to help others. There is still some compassion in this world .

Great pictures of the owl and deer, it looks pretty tranquil there, I think anybodys blood pressure would go right down after spending a couple of days there, looks absoutely beautiful. I was a little upset that you don't icefish very much being a true Canadian and a member of the OFC....LOL..........But if I lived where u live I now know I would be spending a great deal more time in the winter onland .........Open up a bed and breakfast please and thank you

Greg I got skunked this morning BUT seeing the pictures of your trout just made my afternoon, now if I could just figure out how to fry them up LOL Used to get some nice eaters down the bay from the Dwight town docks,,mmmmmmmmmm good Thanks for sharing looked like an awesome day.

Glad u and your guests got onto some slabs, heck our whitefish aren't much bigger up here lol. Miss that spring perch fishing, to the best of my knowldge there aren't any up here. I think your guests will be back soon. Great job.

Very well done video and narration, looks like you had an amazing season, with many terrific memories.

x2, never enough winter, ice and snow, even with the extension on the auger had to put it down to the handles to break thru to soft water yesterday, And now my starter arrived, sledding season is JUST begining, YAHOOOO !!!! 53 inches of the good stuff. Summer is good for mosquitos, sandflies , blackflies and SWEATING
