  1. Yes it was parked at Hannifins but I bought from owner. Thanks Trorun,,
  2. Usually I figure half the price of new on used stuff .But they are 15yrs old so probably a little less than that. They also must look almost new for top dollar.
  3. Probably 15yrs or so ago when this was the fingerlake board, before it was LOU. I did a little article on cleaning boat windows.The pictures are gone.At that time my windows were 5 yrs old. Now they are 20 yrs old.... I do not use them now as much as when I was on Lake Ontario.Probably 12 yrs up there. I don't tow the boat with them up anymore. Still use them on the fingerlakes.However I still clean them up on a annual basis, These are some pictures of my boat canvas today.It was today's project and I thought I would share with you folks.My camera is old and does not take the best pictures but I do think you can see how good of shape the windows are in.There are a few holes poked in the windows that I taped up with clear gorilla tape. The windows have not yellowed and are still flexible.The canvas is in great shape to.When not in use I fold them up and put them under the seat. I just sprayed it on and wiped it off with a microfiber towel.The last picture is looking thru one of the windows to the outside.. I don't sell the stuff but its something that really works.....Plexus spray,, Its the stuff they use on jet canopy's If its good enough for the military its good enough for me. Hopefully I can follow up in 5 more years,I doubt 15yrs.
  4. Ran down RT89 yesterday I did not stop but Cayuga looked as low as Ive ever seen it.Should have taken pictures. Water looked to have a lot of stain.But You are right the weather looks good. I will probably dig my boat out this weekend just to get the motors serviced and try to find places to put the junk in the boat I bought over the winter.
  5. Kinda gobie looking ,and it works.
  6. I received my 12ft 40lb test dipsey leaders today. They are excellent quality swivels and the knots look good. At $2.00 ea its a steal. I could not make them for that.. Thanks Stan
  7. I will be a backup buyer. Can do paypal
  8. I found another wireless remote for it . I dont know if it works or not. Contact me I will send it to you.
  9. At such a bargain price ,You got me thinking. Guys are running 12 and 15ft. behind the dipseys? I will take 10 leaders 12ft 40lb test. Something new to try. Paypal available.
  10. For those of us that check the board daily a couple lake pictures. Cold and a little bumpy.... There must be some cool lake pictures out there.....
  11. Dont know what your fishing for . Not the greatest pictures but this is around a 30yr old Furuno 582l with original transducer. Turn it on and away you go.50 khz. I dont still fish but I would imagine you could see your jig. You can see the thermocline. Been looking at a new Furuno 1971F. Just to cure the winter itch. I will still be able to run my old transducer. Hint: actually my upper downrigger ball is to low,they look up to strike.(my thinkin)
  12. No #42 I just checked my sutton box. By the way Ive got 3 miller 66's I will never use if anyone is looking for them. Ive probably got 15 of the #5's. In the early 2000's I took the #1 laker in the NLT derby on a #5 off the boards. Most of them have caught fish.They get bent up easily and the hooks break its hard to get them swimming right after you bend them.The #88 used to be my diver spoon it died the last few years I dont know why. Not much info here just trying to get something going on the fingerlake board. Its 12 degrees.Boat winterized?
  13. Great idea. Thanks for the picture. #5 if its hammered is a real killer.I will look for a 42 when I get to the boat.
  14. I guy I used to fish with had two steering wheels.One with cable for the kicker.One Hydraulic for inboard. worked great.
  15. Anyone on here own one or have gotten their hands on one? I am thinking I should move out of 1980 electronics. That new touch screen looks great. My old Furuno stuff still works fine but I got the itch for something different.
  16. I had the same problem you are having trying to sell my sons Honda accord.Beautiful low mileage car and he was going to Japan for three years.

     What I found out with the high prices of today's vehicles banks are reluctant to loan people money for a used vehicle from a Individual.

      I think its a great price for your Honda. I am not in the market for a car right now . You were curious why no responses, this may be your problem. 

     Good luck with the sale.

  17. Fished the S end Sunday. Targeted lakers for the smoker.Kept a couple 20" Salmon.Could not catch a laker. Salmon were hitting peanuts...
  18. I will take a pack . I have pay-pal..
  19. Certain times of the year lakers fight harder. Ive had them jump and rear and tear. But most of the time unless its a real big one you dont get much fight. If I wanted a fight I would skip the wire dipseys and go with light mono on noodle rods.I would run them off the down riggers .I had a couple noodle rods.Its hard to get your releases set loose enough to release with the rods. It limits you to spoons or stick-baits. Even a 4lb laker will give you a fight. Only downfall is its hard to revive a fish after a long fight.You end up keeping more fish . I ran noodle rods many moons ago.Before sea fleas. As far as reels go 300s would be great with 10lb test. Good luck
  20. Just great news ,Thanks for report.
  21. They do catch fish,I used to run a flatfish or twin minno in the middle of the rig it gave the whole rig vibration. If you can not find one I Have a rig someplace with 7 strand wire I will have to look. I am not interested in shipping it. Sk8man could you please draw what they look like when you get them back in the boat?
  22. Glad to see Seneca is turning on. Thanks for the silver picture and the report.
