Are they sold yet?

I have just finished an upgrade to my 1984 Penn Yan Helm. New switches and fuse holders, main engine hour meter,  new throttle control block, etc. I spent a huge amount of time researching the wood grain material for the base. Overall this project was about 30-35 hours of time...some of it with a dedicated buddy to help me. Attached photos are the after and before images.

Could you post more pictures of this boat please?

Definitely lovin' the new dock and marina. Its a bonus the fishing has been on fire as well!

How about you post pictures of the colors you have. Thanks!

If you're blade is serrated like mine I would recommend the Work Sharp system. Seems to "work" for me.

My vote goes to Frogg Toggs also. You won't be dissapointed.

I sent my motor box back to Raymarine and they repaired it for $75.00.

My 26' Penn Yan is hydraulic steering and it works great! Here are the details:

I'm going to be selling my Raymarine SPX-5 Autopilot. It has been factory refurbished. Interested?

We launched from Wright's just before dawn on the "Down Time" 19' center console. Ran to 250 fow and set up with a bunch of other boats. Screen was blank all the way to 375 fow. Made a turn SE  and headed toward the plant. Managed a 12# Coho  off a dipsey back 300'. Beautiful fish! In 250 fow we took a small king from the same dipsey. After a long dry spell we kept trolling into 135 fow and had a mature King on a Sutton 88 down 130'. Finally,  the 600 copper took off with a Stinger UV chicken wing as I  flippped the reel clutch forward to engage the drag...awesome fight. Landed a 23 pounder.  Last fish was a beautiful 14# Coho on a Wonder Bread magnum J plug down  near the bottom over 137 fow. Finished the day with 5 fish. Hardly marked any fish or bait all day but we sure felt a few. Great day to be on the lake.  Good luck to all for the rest of the season.

I love Fairhaven. Nice, quaint village with a friendly atmosphere. Thanks to the owner of Fair Point Marina for answering my questions during my visit there last weekend.

Do you have a link to the controller you bought on eBay?

Neither Pine Grove or Mexico Point are open to launch trailered boats. Closest open ramp is Wright's Landing.

Fished today and caught a decent steelhead with 30 Alewifes in its stomach. What a greedy fish! 

53 degrees, minimal debris that I encountered.

Very few boats in the bay today. Waves were 2-4 ft from the N-NE. Tough to troll the shoreline in the trough. Went 3 for 5 today...all Browns. No size to speak of.  Caught all of them in 18-20 fow. NK 28s off  2 color lead core did most of the little damage there was to do.  

Replace ignition switch and check the solenoid by jumping it when you turn the key.

I would like one. Please PM me so we can finish this transaction. Thank you.

Are these still available? 

As of yesterday Pine Grove is still open, but bring some TALL boots to launch.

Launched out of Stoney Creek yesterday at 6AM.  Turned left past the last channel marker. Trolled around Drowned Island. Nothing. Went north toward Stoney Point. Managed 5 Browns in the 7 -9 pound range, a 7 pound walleye, a whitefish and a Laker that was a solid 10 pounds. Turned around at Stoney Point Light. Overall a good day. Most fish came in 17-22 fow. Evil eyes did most of the damage. Good luck to all this weekend. Stoney Creek is super high now...wear waterproof boots to launch. No issues getting out to the lake from this boat launch.

Just a tip to help you get the coated Cummings net onto the hoop. Spray the hoop with food grade silicone first. The net will go on much easier.

Fished out of Oswego today. Went 5 for 9...all over 7 pounds. Smithwicks  in firetiger and perch. Mooselook wobblers and a few other assorted sticks. All off planer boards. Green water east of the river, surface temp 45 degrees. Only 5 trailers in the parking lot at Wright's Landing. Fantastic start to the 2017 season for us!

I'd second the vote for Oneida Lake to fish for walleye. Tony Buffa runs a charter based from the south shore if you want to hire a guide for the second day.
