    A very familiar story about the times we are living in. This Easter will be tough for so many families that have been making this holiday a reason to get together. I hope your brother is doing well...I hate to hear about anyone battling cancer. He does have the familiar Musky Smile that a certain member of the OFC family has apparently made very popular! As bad as we want to see them, we want to see them healthy.

    Now they've gone too far! There is just no solid proof Covid-19 can be transmitted by drunken fisherman fist-fighting over who drifted over who's line.

    The deal(gulp) of the century is/was on cruise lines. Carnival, Norwegian or Royal Caribbean.

    I am. I’m not as brave as I wish I was so I’m buying blue chip stock.

    According to the signature count, in over one week there has been less than 300 people think it's a good idea; there is a message here. This thread alone has had 7500 views. You do realize it would take a WELL into 6 figures, probably 7, before anyone would even read it?? More and more ramps are being shut down every week and you're going to start another petition? lol I've seen petitions on this petition.org before and unfortunately, 99% of the time it's nothing more than a vehicle for people that want to push their own agendas. Last month there was a woman who wanted her son's 8 year old's hockey team to be able to continue playing because "they really worked hard and were probably going to win". God help us combat Covid-19 and stupidity.

    I like your wiring schematic on the lid 😁

    Yes. Buying more battery than you need will cost more but more importantly, the weight is the issue. His boat needs to run on the pad to perform properly. Weight and balance can affect getting up on plane and top speed.

    That’s perfect and 24v is good for a boat your size. 👍🏻 AGM batteries are great from a maintenance standpoint just don’t expect any more life or performance over a good wet cell. Meaning, they may perform better but the way to fish you may never realize it. If I was fishing for cash every weekend and ran electronics and live wells from 7am to 3pm, and still needed to turn over a V6, I’d spend the extra dough. I’d be wary of models of AGM that are priced the same or less than wet cell. Imho

    Maybe I missed it...how many batteries are in your boat and exactly how are they being used? I’m assuming if you have a 24V system for your troller you have 3 batteries on board.

    If by lines you mean the taped off areas and the signs indicating the parks are closed, I’m going go with - of course not.

    If Misfish can’t spy it, he don’t wanna buy it!! 🤣

    PM coming your way 😀

    Guess he also should have borrowed your crystal ball. I’m not sure why only US presidents are being called out for this. Pointless conversation.

    I don't understand how people are making the leap from public boat ramps being closed to no fishing or boating allowed. There are two separate entities in play here...the new laws regarding temporary closures of public ramps and the moral issue of staying home. I personally have seen nothing that indicates you must stay indoors at all times. IF you can access your favorite lake without utilizing a public ramp, and IF you will not require stops for fuel, etc., and IF the risk(however large or small) that your well thought out plans will not require close human contact...have at it. Like many of you I have a boat in the driveway that is fueled up and ready to go. I also know which ramps are still open and give me access to the lake. But for now, I have decided to make the sacrifice(and I feel silly even typing that word) to not go. That's just between me and my conscience and has zero to do with anyone else. Maybe in a week or two I'll be out if things change. If people want to go and to them the risk is less than the reward, have a good time. But, last week when I see guys with their boats on the back at gas stations and Canadian Tire, I call Bull. All in my IMHO only.

    I’ll second that! Glad she’s doing well.
  17. grimsbylander
    Mine got wet today. Sat in it and cried. 😂
  18. grimsbylander
    LOL ok.
  19. grimsbylander
    Correct. So pointing out 50% of the candidates on the wrong side is pointless.

    And in the last 3.5 years neither did Trump. This is not a time to point fingers. The current situation is unprecedented. It is however front and center with many governments now that the impact is clearly known. Both from a healthcare and warfare standpoint.
  21. grimsbylander
    I have no idea what your point is. The thread is about public boat launches. Not launching a small boat from anywhere. If people just can’t reason out the difference between going for a walk and filtering activity through a ramp, this explains why it continues to spread. If there was ever a time to use a sledgehammer on a finishing nail, this it it. We can either all observe the rules and be done with this in a month, or cheat because we think we’re smarter than the health officials and still be living this crap in September.
  22. grimsbylander
    Yes. Everyone should have the right to be equally irresponsible.
  23. grimsbylander
    I hear you there! Love heavy cover largies!!
  24. grimsbylander
    It's not the driver either...every boat has t's limits and NO bassboat runs smooth in 4 footers. Erie is probably worse because the rollers launch you when you crest them. Regardless, bassboats aren't for everyone. They have a unique purpose and for those that want it, nothing fishes better. Trolling isn't one of them. Multi-species boats do a lot of things well but give up performance in some areas to accomplish this. No biggie, pick your poison and spend your money where you see fit.

    Very nice. My next Ranger will probably be a 621 or 620. The older I get, the smoother the ride my butt needs. 😁
