  1. Ah its ok Darren its washing away the snow in my yard.A little bit left in the front yard.

     

    Our pool is stilll frozen solid.

     

    With April on its way I am sure there will be more.What worries me is I put the snow shovels and snowblower away today :w00t::oops: .

     

    Its snowed here many times in April so you never know.

     

    Both vehicles have there snowtires just in case.Ah man I can't wait for trout opener Lake Massawipi.

  2. Now Carole you should keep it in your fishing vest.

     

    How many times in your reports from you and Cliff did you guys say sorry for the picture quality but we forgot the camera

    so we had to use the cell phone.It could always be in the vest ready to go after all you still look about three five :P

  3. Mike like most people have said this is a light boat I know I owned the exact same boat not too long ago.

     

    I have a 46lbs of thrust Minnekota with a Maximiser.

     

    Surprised nobody has told you to spend a little extra on a model with a maximiser your battery will last twice the time as a regular endura model.

     

    Costco has a great deal more than you might want to spend 50lbs of thrust with maximiser for $399.00 believe me no need to bring 2 batteries for the day as long as you don't venture off too far.You might want to check out deep cycle batteries at costco also usually very good deals.

     

    I think 36lbs of thrust would be a little better but Mike get one with the maximiser much more energy durable.

     

    good luck can't wait to see your first fishing report in it.Becareful with this boat I flipped mine over 2 summers ago.

  4. Mike thats a good litttle boat I had one just like it.Its a Thornes.

     

    Just don't do like I did one second I let go the tiller handle on the little motor and next thing I know I was in the water I flipped the boat when I stopped it from coming at me.

  5. I think Kickingfrog made some great points.

     

    I like my canoe 40 inches wide no one in my family has ever flipped her.

     

    On the other hand she is over 85lbs fiberglass 16 footer at my age its too heavy to portage with.

     

    i would like to sell it and buy a sportspal with a square transom to put a small motor on.

     

    my wife loves my current canoe so I won't change it.

     

    The best 12 foot aluminium boat i have ever been in is the Princecraft ungava you can put up to 15hp on it at 156lbs its a great car topper.

     

    I have also seen my friend follow me in 3 ft swells deep hull on a small boat.

     

    Good luck with your purchase
