Im kinda on the other side of the fence.
If you can afford it, id buy brand new for a 14ft and 9.9.
Youll have zero issues. Take care of it, have fun. It still has its resale value. But once you learn what you want in a boat, you still have this one on the side for smaller lakes and getaways, or sell if you so choose.
A 14ft with a 9.9 doesnt run alot of money. And brand new you can run the thing for 30 years with proper care and maintenance. Thats a good investment.
But i do back the "no finance if possible".
If ya cant afford it save up. Save where you can. Frig cash in on recyclibles etc if ya can.
Or put 50 bucks a week in a jar. Youll have the cash in no time

Manitoubass2, can't say there's a thing you said there that I don't agree with. Disgraceful the way some folks are so wasteful and disrespectful of nature. I think you are definitely doing your part to live in harmony with the world around you. Respect!
See folks? Im not so bad! Lol
Thanks for the kind words?
Truly appreciated

Oh man where to start? Thankfully my dad is still sharing this rock with me?
one memory that stands out is hunting the old trails up of trucking roads on the 502.
We walked many many miles and many many trails.
After getting my first c02 pellet gun, off we went bird hunting. Man I was so excited, I wanna say I was around 7 but im not sure?
We walk this trail, dad shoots 2 birds. We get to a fork in the trail. He asks If I wanna walk it solo? Of course!!!! Im a big bad hunter now lol. He gives me a whistle and says walk for a few minutes and head back.
I start walking. I see a bird!!!! So excited I load and aim. Headshot!!! Wait, he didnt go down???? 5 more shots, he wont drop? Off goes the whistle, im panicking now, what the heck kind of bird is this?
My dad comes running. " I shot it 6 times dad it wont die"!
My dad laughing, "thats no partidge son, thats a turkey"
????
The fishing stories are too many. Some of the older memories dont even involve fish. Grandma falling outta the boat, fishing for hours wondering why i couldnt catch a fish? Duh, hook was in my armpit lol. Big storms and lotsa swimming.
Actually makes me tear up thinkin bout them days.
I hope my kids remember all our adventures down the road?

Whats that dish called again? Meatloaf ala the gods?
Looks wicked and i like you added havarti(love that stuff, especially jalepeno)
Two thumbs up!

Well Ivy found "Her spot".
On top the couch looking out the window lol
Shes already walked me 6km today. Hoofta.
Still wont eat though
Did her weight(24lbs, def under weight)
Took her measurements, 2 ft to the shoulder.
Shes probably as tall as shes gonna get now. But shes got alot of filling in to do.
Still blows my mind she doesnt know her name??? Weird
-
I agree 100%.
This site has many talented folks and it rocks!!!
Agreed! But not just talented folks...
Great outdoorsman, great cooks, great parents(in no particular order)
But I was blown away when I struggled with addictions how many messages and phone calls and txts I got.
That meant the world to me, and my family.
Its amazing how far OFC goes to help the resource, friends etc.
Im heading to the hammer soon and i hope to meet some OFC'ers for sure.

I hear ya Brian. Im just kinda getting back into as well.
I usually get super creative but this thread has created a "to do list" and im scared I might never catch up lol
-
Holy crap brian!
That looks like its out of a food magazine, great prep!
Thats gonna turn out deadly! I cant wait to see it cooked!

There's a pile of Gnocchi waiting for you at a real deal Italian restaurant in downtown Hamilton. Check the Ti Cat schedule there might be a game when you are here I might be able to get a few favours paid back and score some tickets.
Sounds great to me!
Id like to get in some fishing and maybe a round of golf too.
Maybe a few others in the area from OFC can have a lil meet n greet?

Another mouth to feed young fella. What's that make now about 12 then when Mom gets into town 13? Good on you, and that Pup is a beauty. Hurry up and get down here, you need a break.
I wouldnt have it any other way!
But yes, a few breaks per year is nice! Cant wait to come visit you sir???
That will be a great time no doubt!
-
2 others. One husky and one husky mutt(not sure of the donor, she looks like a fox)She's a real beauty.
Thanks! We think so too?
How many dogs do you have?
-
She seems to be warmup up nice to the other pups. Gonna take some time though. No fighting so thats good
Just sniffing each other out and a little playing.
She must be a little stressed with the move because she hasnt eaten yet, i hope that dont last long.
-
We left the kennel open last night and she never touched it once.
She slept with my daughter till about 4am then she woke up for a pee. Then she decided to lay on my bed for the rest of the night lol
Pretty good first night. Too be honest I expected a long night.
-
Tough to back a dog into a corner in the bush lol.And it would be the last time if she was mine, I'd have backed her into a corner and taken it away from her! Don't ever let your dog become the alpha, she now thinks she can hold ground with you. Not good!
Shes protective of her catch, thats fine with me!!!
And shes shown teeth at me before cliff. She quickly backs down when I approach. No doubt I could have grabbed the rest of the bones without a ruckus, if i chose to
-
Payback!
Yip I believe so! I even approached her and she snarled at me, first time ever.
-
She hasnt barked once.
Shes got sooo much to take in though.
I thought shed be real anxious but shes not.
I introduced her to the other huskies and no issues.
Now the cats on the otherhand???
The previous owners had her sleep in a kennel. Well she hates that thing. And she also doesnt know her name? I dont think she got too much attention?
-
Cool dog man
Thanks!
Boy is she hyper!

Memories of Dad
in General Discussion
Posted · Edited by manitoubass2
I already spoke of my Dad. Lotsa times he was away at work though(now I understand that better that Ive had to do it)
But ALOT of my upbringing was my grandpa burpy. Boy he loved to fish!
He like to troll walleyes or just a bare hook with a minnow or crawler.
He was best know for sleeping in the boat, only waking up to set the hook lol.
He taught me alot that man, especially how important a strong work ethic is, how important family is(you never turn your back on family), how important it is to help the community, how important it is to play sports as a youngin.
Besides that, as I got older. My grandma passed. I remember alot of tears and stories of the war. We had 4-5 beers everynight after dinner(I was taking care of him at this point)
Many might not agree with this, but he always told me, "Ricky, there is nothing to be proud of when killing other man that have families. Its haunts me everyday. We thought we were fighting for peace. Now I know we fought for selfish interests. Promise me you'll never fight a war that isnt defending our home soil. You dont have to be a killer to make peace".
Not his exact words of course, but thats what I remember.
Of course, no disrespect to the men and women that fight for our country
