e-z-out Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Well by the looks of it i wont have my boat for the May24th long weekend since the dealer messed up on my order when ordering my boat. Delay time 3 weeks. All the boat rentals in Buckhorn have been filled for the May24th long weekend. So what dose one do now????????????? Any idea guys? Any one know of somone or some place in the Kawartha Lakes that would rent me a boat for 3 day. I've checked the net and have found a few places but all booked for the long weekend.

He dose and it's a little 8 footer with paddles. if it comes down to it i'll end up taking what i can. I just want to fish it was a long winter and we all know how that can be.

Garry2Rs Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 My neighbour has a 14 foot tinny with a 9.5 Johnson that he wants to sell for about a $1100.00 I think I could persuade him to rent it, but what do you think would be a fair offer for the long weekend? The boat doesn't come with a trailer, so unless you have roof racks, or a pick-up, he would have to deliver it... You might want to throw a few extra bucks in the offer for delivery.

Hey garry how close are you to SUNRISE RESORT is located beside Lock 31 in Buckhorn at the junction of Hwy #23 (old 507) and 36, 32 km. north of Peterborough? Would he rent it for 150 for saturday May 17th to sunday May 18th? and 50 to drop it off and pick it up later? I'm just guessing prices let me know if hes ok with that or if hes willing to rent to boat out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey123 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Aile your right, while it sucks not to have your own boat, it is better to dwell on the fact that you will have time to spend with your wife and child. It is a long weekend and you will be nowhere near the big smoke. The only thing you may consider is the following: Your wife and you might have to take turns going out in the boat as it may not fit two adults! Just teasing, no matter what happens enjoy the time away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry2Rs Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Sorry AILE; He said that because that is the May 2-4 weekend he's not interested in renting the boat. This is the weekend that most people open their cottages, and he wants the boat here where people going by can see that it's for sale. I tried to reason with him that a "bird in the hand was worth two in the bush," but he wouldn't budge. Again, I'm sorry for getting your hopes up, but I'm sure we can both see his point.

Meely Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) No probs. I'm glad it worked out for ya. From the marina, you have access to a ton of water (Little Bald, Big Bald Lake, and Pigeon). Not sure if your staying in Buckhorn but its only a 10 min drive if u are. Maybe I'll see you on the water.
