Awesome fish!

Got it for my son on the iPad2. Thanks

I have a set of walker electrics. They have always functioned perfectly for me. They aren't as fancy as some of them but they are serving me very well. I have heard the Cannon Mag 10's are the nicest. They all make really good products. All the manufacturers give back to the Great Lakes fishing community with tournament sponsorship and events. Congrats on your soon to be purchase. You are going to love them which ever you decide. Edited to add: My Walkers are not fast as some of them but they still bomb the balls up and down fine with me. If you have plans on going 300 feet and run 15 pound balls you might want to look into one of the magnum packages some of the manufacturers offer. I just run 10 pound balls with my plain jane Walkers. I can fish down 200 feet with them depending on current.

I completely agree. Completely!

I guess you know what junk mail to keep. :-)

A beer that makes chicks uglier the more you drink it. It would keep the traveling business man out of trouble.

I thought September 19th was International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Edited to add capitals.

The snowsuit will get waterlogged and the vest won't hold you up. The flotation in the legs allows you to float horizontal and attempt getting your legs and big ole boots up on the ice. The insulation in the suit keeps the water in so cold water from lake can't continue to circulate and cool your body temperature further. Tighten up those ankles and wrists when you go in. Your body will then only have to deal with the water in your suit not the whole lake. Edit: Typo

So what is the right situation for a family to buy an 18 foot deep v hull powered with a 50hp engine? Just wondering.

I am Lions fan too. It was way better being a Lions fan this year. We need a running game and we are set. Stafford and Johnson are amazing. Edit: Typo

Well done. Not much beats ice fishing with your brother, especially when you catch.

Awesome. I really wish I had not put the boat away.

Your package is at 66% of the power rating which isn't that bad. The Xtreme 18 is only a foot longer like you say but it is a much bigger boat. The hull is 4 inches deeper, the beam is 8 inches wider, the hull is 200 pounds heavier and the capacity is 350 pounds heavier. The HP rating is double. I stand by my original assessment of the 50hp engine on that 18 Xtreme. Percentage wise, that package is comparable to your boat with a 25 on it, which is currently half the size as what you have.

Is your boat an 18 Dan? I do not see a 50hp pushing an 18 foot boat 30mph. Maybe a 16 footer. If you say it does it, it must do it. You must travel light. How long does it take to get on plane? I am not doubting you by the way, just curious.

Steve, we think alike but you are a faster typist.

Maximum horsepower rating for that hull is 150. Selling it to someone with a 50 on it is disingenuous. They should not even offer it with less than a 90. I feel sorry for first time boat buyers who may not know much about boats and are taking bad advice from sales people to get into these mismatches. That 50hp package is only 33% of the rated HP for that hull, 50hp is only 66% of the rated HP for the Xtreme 16. I strongly doubt that 50hp could even plane out that 18 foot hull. Maybe a couple of sandbags up front. Once you get the upgrade package with a suitable sized engine then you are at the same price point as the competition. I have heard good things about Legend hulls (Smokercraft make them don't they?), but I find the marketing tactics to be unsavoury.

I believe the NFC is superior. Giants by a touchdown.

Well done! What a beauty.

Congrats. I think you made a fine choice. That boat is laid out perfectly.

If you are fishing for them in Lake Ontario do not be afraid to dust the bottom with them. It is known to churn up some action. Never ever EVER try that in Muskoka. Lol. It will be over before it starts. Keep your brake on the downriggers enough to hold the ball but loose enough to give line if the unthinkable happens.

No problem Ben. As Harrison pointed out, you don't need the bloody thing anyways. Edit: Typo

I just checked. Really good lines for Lac Seul. You're good to go!

Is that the one where you try to escape in a SUV while your old lady is swinging a golf club at you?
