taper

Yamaha outboards ( i expect it is a 4 stroke ) have been bullet proof for me. I like the look of the G3 but thought it was a bit expensive when I looked at them.

Mine is year round through a broker. Can't remember the parent company I'll try to look it up when I get home from work.

I have just had an opportunity to purchase an ATV at a very good price. I have my option of 3, a 2006 Suzuki Vincent 500 gear puncher, a 2007 Suzuki Eiger 400 auto or a 2007 Honda 500 electric shift. Do any of you have any experiences good or bad with any of these machines? Right now I am leaning toward the Honda.

Brian I ran the auto pilot I bought from Jos last year at Colchester without a kicker and it ran 6 hours and was not dead at the end of the day. I was told to do exactly what eye tracker has explained and have the control with you at the back, that way if minor corrections are needed its an arms length away. I believe the cord is 20 ft long.

Welcome aboard from a fellow Londoner. When does your season run on Lac Seul, will you have any early or late fishing here in Southwestern Ontario?

Welcome aboard. Not a float fisherman but have always wanted to try. There are several guys here that will lead you in the right direction.

I agree all these charges are not uncommon but if you look around you can find some great spots to stay without being gouged. The one that would concern me the most is $300 extra for peak season. That just tells me that they know they are going to be full and that the place will be very busy. I like to have a bit less traffic if possible.

I agree if looking for a spoon, I don't want to look in 5 different areas of the store. Go to one area look at choices and make my decision. I personally don't buy the knock offs as a rule but it is a personal choice.

I don't care if he rides with a helmet or not but if they do allow people to ride without they should be forced to sign off all rights they have to OHIP coverage in the event of an accident while not wearing a helmet. To me it is the same as these skiers and snow boarders that deliberately go into areas marked no entry and cause avalanches and cost huge tax payers dollars to go get them, if it can be proven that they new they shouldn't be there they should get the rescue bill.

Paul,I can't believe Joey said you couldn't have any more. All along I thought she was the perfect wife.

Not sure if they come in your size but for an all around 4 wheel drive tire thats quiet on the road and bites in hard off the road check out the Nokian line up. They only are sold by Kal tire in Canada. The model I run is the Vativa. These are a Finish tire and they rock in the snow. Check out Kal Tire.com

I can't believe after purchasing a 1900 Pro V you worry about a few bucks for riggers.

I agree with Rick, travel with motor down but only if you have enough clearance. If you go over a large speed bump you will tear apart the bottom end. Transom saver might be a better buy before you worry about extra seats.

Maybe this summer if we can arrange it, I could take you guys out Down in the west end of Erie. The walleye fishing is amazing and while trolling planer boards is the normal plan of attack, we could do some drift fishing casting your favorite walleye bait.

Pretty lazy, betcha he's sold a bunch already even if they are as gag gifts he's making money.

I just received this in an email and thought some here might enjoy. Pretty impressive.

I'm told that there is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy.25 in rural Iowa.

For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times.

A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed.

It's quite an impressive sight.

Be sure to scrolldown and check out the multiple photos. (all angles) of the rock.

I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it's not. It's actually painted on the rock too.

Here's the artist

AWESOME Work, RAY...

Pinch I think the service you are referring to is still only available in major cities. it uses the cell towers but still has its own antenna, we tried it here and we were just out of range.The local tower did not have the antenna and the closest one that did was about 8 miles away and I think they said 4 to 5 miles max.

Congrats on the PB Greg, I've never even heard of them like that in Simcoe. By the way also very nice to see it released to fight another day. Congrats again.

Wayne and Terry are correct, I have a point to point system from Xplornet, it works quite well. Not as fast as cable but tons faster than dial up. Explornet will tell you that there satellite service is the same speed, wrong. Its kinda like bell and rogers telling you that high speed was available at your new home.My sister has xplornet satellite as point to point was not available and it is a lot slower, even the tech installing the system admitted that they are slower. Point to point is also much cheaper, you can do a private deal as Wayne did or if you go to an ISP such as xplornet it is about $300 initial start up and $60 a month, when I signed up they waved the install fee if you signed up for 3 years. So cost is inline with cable in town and close to speed. If you have any questions shoot me a pm.

I almost forgot, my old ISP used the same antenna system that Wayne shows in his picture, Xplornet uses a flat antenna about 6 inches by 12 inches.

Nice report. Glad to hear from you again.

Thanks for the laugh before I head to work.

I've known Murry since I was 5 or 6.Great guy. I live about 1.5 miles away.

Vanselena you wouldn't of happened to be 5 or 6 miles East of London in those picks were ya?
