  1. Thanks for the compliment, S.F. This boat will make some one very happy! Steve......
  2. I have no pics of it. I'm advertising it early. Right now it's locked in a barn at Lake Breeze Marina. As soon as the snow clears and it becomes available, I'll be in touch with their staff to prep it for my slip there. Steve.....PS: I have 2 file folders of all the equipment ever purchased that has been installed on it. If any mechanical issues are discovered in the Spring, I will have them corrected. It's been on the trailer for 3 seasons. Steve...........
  3. TTT
  4. Yeah, I saw that. Even though the 12# is heavier than the 10#, the 12# is larger in circumferance and causes more resistance in the water. Steve....
  5. PS, it would also be helpful if the fish cooperated with the temperatures that they are supposed to swim in. Steve.....
  6. I stopped the boat in 100 feet of water. Dropped the rigger with just the probe to 75 feet (rigger reading)Observed the reading on the Hawk. increased speed in 1/2 MPH incriments, and took readings of depth of ball (probe) as they swung back, I lost depth. At the different MPHs the depth read-out was different.I had to do this a few times on calm days and taking in consideration for down currants. My fishfinder rarely picked up my weights @100 feet of water. My 12#s blew back ( I lost 6 feet of depth) @ 3 MPH. I lowered the riggers 6 feet to compensate. Steve.....
  7. The first year of the X4D I spent $739.00 for the unit. I was impressed, to say the least. With 12# weights, the Depth read out was handy as I could factor how far the weights were blowing back. The unit read-out was very stable and didn't jump around a lot. I was also able to determine approximate depth with my dipseys. Glad to see the prices have come down on these units. Installation was straight forward with no coated cables to worry about and large numbers that I could see from the back of the boat. Steve.....
  8. So many good people come into our lives that are struck down with that horrible disease. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Ray's Family. I heard about him through out the years up there but, never had the pleasure of meeting him. Steve..."a survivor"
  9. Looks like a nice ride! Good luck. Steve........
  10. Don't use the "no-no" on flies! Steve........"Long winter.....you can't make this stuff up!"
  11. I took a Home Improvement loan out years ago when i divorced my 1st wife, as I had to pay her attorney fees. The Credit Union asked me what Home Improvements I would be making? I told them that I booted the Bride for cheating on me numerous times, and that's why I needed the money. I had a check that afternoon! True story! Steve..........
  12. Good afternoon! I am a member of a Credit Union. I'm not sure where you are located. I have taken money out on my 2nd mortage for boats. I have also taken loans out just for my boat @ 10%. I bought a 2014 Chevy Silverado. I'm paying 2.22% for 6 years. Steve......
  13. TTT
  14. LOL, good to hear. A lot of boaters/ Fishermen use that outlet. Steve......
  15. I just read an article in the D&C to keep the bridge open all year? Steve......
  16. I thought Crestliner boats were built pretty tough. What would cause cracks in the Bow area? Steve.....
  17. The other scenario is 2 charter boats and 2 captains that are business partners along with 2 first mates. Add drift boats in the mix and 2 families depending on income. Yep, they both work their azzes off for their clients. I watched these guys for years, At the dock 4am engines warming up, Diesel fuel in the air, getting rods set up, tackle. One would take off to the"Big Microwave" OZ, and the other towards Sandy Pond. They would cross talk and share info with each other and make decisions from there.They also include filleting of fish and wrapping it for you. You provide the cooler. These 2 guys and mates- great sense of humor along with years of experience on the Lake. They were there late at night, sometimes replacing broken rods due to some clown aboard grabbing it and thinking he was in the Bass-masters or something setting the hook so hard the tip of the rod hit the Hard Top on the boat and broke. The Captain doesn't expect the client to pay for it. Those rods are not cheap, are they Rick? Yep, don't tip, be a cheap skate, while loading fillets in your nice new truck, watching the Captain and Mate clean the blood and guts up, along with the cigarette butts that blew back in when you flicked them towards the water. The wrappers and food you brought along that fell to the floor. Yep, that's right, "Don't tip them, because, that's their Job!" and guess what? They will great you kindly next year, as the Professionals that they are, for your repeat performance! 'Nough said.! Respectfully, steve.............
  18. Very cool, Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane! Steve,,,,,,"Dang, do I feel old!" LOL
  19. ......Still laughing "That's some bad hat, Harry!" Geeeez! Steve........
  20. I especially liked the one taken of the guys taking the fish for a walk! That's classic! You just can't make that stuff up! Thanks for the memories and humor! ps: If you post funny chit like this again....could you please warn of a "spew alert?" Had a mouth full of coffee...you guess the rest...... Steve.....
  21. Read above...... Steve.........
  22. Thanks for the info! Steve............
  23. OMG!!! That's friggin SNOW! Wow, too early to see that! Stay warm, buddy! Steve.......
  24. On the heals of this topic. A couple of weeks ago I was doing a little Web Surfin. I did not see Genesee Charter Boat Association listed. Are they still there? Or did I miss something? Thanks, Steve............
  25. How are ya? I was docked next to you guys at Mike's in early to mid 2000s. My name is Steve. I wanted to shout out a "hi", been a few years. I had the 1990 Penn Yan Tempest Hard Top. My bad for forgetting names, but we broke stones a few times. If you see Mike and Beth, tell them I said "HI" I miss it up there. Steve......" I still have the '90 Penny"
