  1. I had a sportfish 1650 with a 115 efi fourstroke that worked well! It planed out perfectly tones of bowlift and a nice dry ride! The boat with two guys loaded with gear would do 47mph with a regular aluminum prop! I now have a fishhawk 1850 with a 150 optimax and have a problem with it! The problem is when I'm on plane I can't get any bow lift. As soon as I tried to trim out the prop would blow out of the water! So the dealer tried lowering the engine and it was better but not even close the where it should be! Over the summer I tried differant props and engine hieghts and was never able to get it to run properly. I should also mention that I get wet from the spray every time out! I put a straight edge on the bottom of the hull and lets just say it wasn't straight! The boat has been sent back to the factory so they can figure out the problem!

    This is a pic of the boat trimmed out at WOT

    A tip for anyone buying a welded boat! Bring a 3-4foot straight edge with you and make sure the hull is straight before you buy!

  2. I got a few pics to share from last fall! Ive always caught them by accident while fishing for something else. It was the first year that I started to get serious about musky fishing!

  3. I have been useing a normark with the husqvarna engine for the last 6 years and love it! Hands down the best auger ive owned or even used! It's quiet, has lots of power, spins a 10inch bit and weighs less than 20lbs! but it's not cheep! I purchased new blades for it last year but have yet to installed them! I easily cut 3000-5000 holes per year with this machine and still useing the original blades!

  4. I still believe they are NOISY.......here's a guy that had them on for only 5 months and is now selling them.

    I read that post and the guy wasn't complaning about the noise he wants to sell them because he thinks they are heavy! E rated is a bit much for a little jeep! Ive been looking at these tires for a little while now and although they don't make it in the size I want they look good! I want something with an agressive tread yet not too loud on the hwy! So far the best tire ive found thats aggresive and not too loud is a BF AT! There are plenty of tires out there that are quiet but they suck offroad! I found the BF at to be a nice balance!

  5. I spotted a few gill nets in the kingston area! Also a few large fish traps full of bullheads, perch, walleye, and even a few pike! The gill nets were full of dead slim covered fish rangeing from bullheads, perch,walleye's ,pikes... :angry: basicly anything that swims:evil: Ive been keeping an eye on the nets for a little while now and they have been there for going on 2weeks now :angry: Dosen't look like the owners of the nets really care about harvesting the fish at all and the worst part is that they are like 50-100 feet from shore One of them completly blocking off the mouth of a creek and was so full of dead rotting fish I could barely lift one corner :angry: Needless to say the fishing sucked not even a nibble nadda ... The fish traps are big and I mean big! The hoops were atleast 5 feet in diameter and about 20-30 feet long! I don't have a problem with a few fish being speared to feed there families, but when I see thousands of fish being killed for nothing and being left to rot ...it makes me angry very angry The MNR wants to pretend that they know nothing about it even after several people have phoned in about issue! Since complants fall on deaf ears what is one to do????

  6. I was also considering a snowmoblie for ice fishing but ended up buying an ATV. I don't know about the area you live in or going to be using the sled but in my area your lucky to get a months riding in per season. There just isn't enough snow to justify a sled when you can use an ATV all year long.
