Mike the Pike

At first I thought you were talking bout your fishing lol.Well that sux .I think the south shore skunk population is outta control.

I think Mercury or Yamaha.Merc there is a dealer almost every where.

I love my Yamaha though and this will be my choice of brand always.

I Hear Ya Mr P on the brakes!

 

I think my Jeep could pull the set-up but the Jeep weighs in at 4200 Lbs.

 

So braking would be or could be an issue.

 

Most Boat trailer packages I have looked at do not have brakes,

 

Would it be a Big Job or Big $$ to add trailer brakes??

 

 

Rick

Rick I think you will do just fine towing with your Jeep.The boat you describe would be no problem for your jeep.

I pull my 16 ft Lund with a Honda Odyssey max towing is 3500lbs .My set up is around 1500lbs barely know its there.

I also pull a Tent trailer 2614 lbs empty ,when its full its over 3000lbs my van pulls it with eaze.I do have brakes for the tent trailer but not required for the boat.

I think you will be just fine with your jeep so go buy that boat and enjoy bud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a powerdrive v2 on my boat and it is a pain to stow and deploy. I've heard the Terrova is much easier.

Yes hands down the Terrova is the better motor.As for deploying the V2 you get used to it .I find it easy myself.

Oh and BTW Jacques here is a very good chance that cell phone you have has a Camera so the Texting could be ignored and we could see some pix you know

When I go fishing that phone gets put away and ignored....

What what would you be towing with Rick?

Jacques now a great story like that and no pix.thats not like you and now you probably ate all the evidence.

good thing for those emoticons lol

Chris I have the same motor I have the Auto Pilot an excellent feature when it gets choppy when trolling I use my kicker motor at the rear stern I then drop the Minn Kota down at the bow.

The auto pilot maintains its course.I was able to take pictures of fish caught and the boat pretty well steered itself.Get the built in transdoucer no wires no fuss no clamps or tie raps.

Do it right the first time and you won't regret it.

Nice

Nice report I really like that inflatable Pontoon boat!!!

Oh ya! But if it was in an outboard it would sure fly!!!!! Oh wait a minute I guess an aircraft engine is an outboard of sorts! Would that be tiller or centre consel?

TILLER of course!!!!

Thanks Vin

We will see if the fish are awake at 5 tomorrow morning. Hopefully there will be a few more boats out there in the morning. Helps to watch the locals to see where they are hittin the fish.

 

 

Well Paul if ya start hangin around with me I can take ya to my local fishing spots.BTW I know some good Dore spots in the Laprarie Basin.

Seriously upgrade the motor the 115 is not going to cut it on an 18 foot boat .Pay now or you will be paying in the near future .Find out how much more it probably

won't make a difference in your budget.A bigger motor does not have to be run full throttle .Think about it.There are members of this board who have been down that road.

Pathfinder is Biteme !

That would be Toyota 4 Runner for Biteme unless he has changed.

There is a huge pier downtown near the Marina many people fish off there.Where the Chief Commanda is docked.

Lund

Go fish for some trout at Pourvoirie Baroux.Not far from Tremblant.

That Lake will be infested with boats and seadoos waterskiers.not the ideal lake for fishing.

I will be in the Tremblent Village for the Blues festival July 15th to 18th.

Its a great store they often have sales with no Tax.Stay tuned.The selection for camping gear canoes and kayaks is far better than BPS.From what I have seen prices around the same as BPS

Love the first video .My your son has grown so much.Nice pike too.

Very nice looking Ride.I like the new stylish decals on your Legend

would that be Tiller or console.What do you have your eyes on Billy B?

well coffee is optional ..

 

fuel isn't in most cases..

 

and you need to save the 5 bucks to be able to afford the 1.40 cup of coffee

Well said Terry.Wait if gas goes up to $2 a litre people won't stop driving but the extras in life will be cut out.

That weekly trip to the restaurant or the movies etc...... the economy will suffer if the greed continues.

Just came back from Quinte last weekend.Most of the cost of the trip was fuel.

$184 for gas there and back to Montreal to tow my boat and $64 for gas in the boat.

Last year it was $180 for the entire trip boat and Van.$140 for the van and $40 for the boat.

Looking forward to the day we no longer use oil watch the greedy oil companies DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice of you to honour your Dad .

Now you need to slime the boat get it out there .I will have a Quinte report coming soon.

If only I could catch multiple Walleye over 63!!! -- to release them of course...

 

See you on the water

see ya out there Paul

James no offence buddy but there have been too many rants on this board about Tracker boats poor quality.Also known as Cracker.

Some board members have had issues with these boats and getting service from Tracker has been hell to be served properly.

I would look at a new boat company if I was you.
