  1. Dara if you are asking about my 60 Yamaha I have a digital tachometer completely separate from the Sonar.
  2. Just leave it the way it is.Seems normal. I have a Lund 1660 Classic with a Yamaha F60 tiller I get trimmed out and Max is 5400 rpm. Top speed is around 34 mph with 2 fisherman plus gear sometimes 35 mph alone. 36.5 MPH sounds about right considering your boat is long. Enjoy the new toy and you need to change your board name to Lund Guy.
  3. Excellent pics Ian.Great shot of your boy holding the Rock Bass
  4. Ok Boat is shiny and I like your ride btw.Cool set up with the cameras but now its time for some fish slime. I expect a helluva report in the near future. MTP
  5. Canon Canon and oh ya Canon.I just have a Canon SX 110 cause I like to keep it simple when fishing. Now My wife has the Canon D60 and my daughter has I believe the Canon T2i . Many canons have come though our house and not one has failed they are so reliable. MTP
  6. WOW ENJOYED that so much Lew thanks for sharing it actually felt like I was there at times. MTP
  7. Good for you Mike now buy a boat with 200hp Tiller
  8. I paid that 10 years ago these rain suits are a great bang for the buck. Good Quality at a great price. MTP
  9. vary the speeds quite often. Don't be running full throttle very long at all. You are going to love your Yamaha
  10. Cool idea Lew. Don't listen to the others that is a perfect set up. The Musky will hit the bracket will bend slightly catapulting the Musky directly in to the boat ....no need for a net Lew but make sure you duck. Good luck to you during Musky opener!!!!!!
  11. That that was absolutely enjoyable I had no idea you could do so much more with an ATV. The video was excellent for a new bee.Now does this mean you will be writing and typing less That was over the top MTP
  12. Congrats RG on the new Lund,I have a similar set up a 2008 Lund 1660 Classic with a 60 Yamaha tiller unlike you my dealer let me position my seat before it was screwed down. The Yamaha runs so smoothly and you will like the rpm control when you want to troll slower. Now get it slimed and Quaked or ducked lol
  13. $300 a year for insurance must be nice to be old like you. with a brand new boat and you only pay that.My boat is a 2008 and I pay $450.
  14. Hey Paul,how was the pike fishing today?
  15. You guys did very well hope to see some pics.
  16. Glen after 5 seasons in my Lund classic it just keeps getting better. This boat was built with the fisherman in mind.When I bought it I went all out.Air ride seats worth every penny.Sport Traks,Electric motor with auto pilot. etc... The tiller provides me with so much room for a 16 footer.Now the SSV was a great boat but it was bare bones no livewell or comforts like the classic.It was lighter and got blown around a little more. Only thing I miss about the SSV was its 18.5 foot length for connecting the waves but this classic its just an overall fantastic all rounded fishing machine. Some people on here say you pay for the name Lund but I tell ya its built well and you won't find a 16 footer with a deeper hull than this model.
  17. Absolutely beautiful report Simon.The pics of Jack growing so quickly. The shot of jack holding up the mussel shell Pricless. And the shot of the waterline and rain so cool. Looking forward to the next report
  18. That was great Sean excellent video.LIke the way you have the yak set up. My son and I caught 6 yesterday jigging and drifting. The wife and I are looking to buy some Kayaks for when we go camping as our canoe is not getting much use.
  19. Mike buy a Yamaha you will be so happy you did. I had 50 Honda which was very reliable.Swapped it for my 60hp Yamaha and now I would only buy a Yamaha. Lots of torque starts faster than my cars.Really Mike do yourself a favor buy a Yammy. Also have the rpm control button can get it under 2 mph. Reliable and much more quieter than my friends 60hp Mercury. Yamaha sells the most outboards world wide must be a good reason for that. MTP
  20. we trolled and casted along the shoreline where all the condos were but no pike.
  21. How is it going out there Dan?I heading back next week on Thursday. MTP
  22. Well life sure has changed out of my three children only my son continues to come fishing with Dad.My 2 older daughters 15 and 17 no longer have interest in fishing. Thats ok though life is good. Launched in Brossard not far from the Champlain Bridge on the South Shore of Montreal My son Ryan who is 13 he just loves it.I tell ya it was perfect day with the young lad.Hard to believe at 13 he is almost my height of course thats not hard to beat at 5 foot 9 lol Today we went out late afternoon and stayed out for the evening bite.Was hoping to land some pike but did not find them. I knew where to find the Walleye and we got in to some.Not monsters but the fish turned on.BTW Ryan out fished the old man even though I caught my PB Goby. In all we caught 6 kept and kept 2 for the dinner plate .fish caught were only in the 14 to 18 inch range but we were catching thats what counts. Here are some pix. Leaving the Brossard launch A shot from bay of Quinte almost 2 weeks ago what a difference in temperature. Life is Good MTP
  23. Dan I would not bother with planers this time of year.You are more likely to hook into a small walleye and you will never know it is on the board. When are you going to the BOQ.I will be there next week for 4 days. MTP
