  1. Sounds good, thanks a bunch! We always drove down Rt 49 to go to Sylvan Beach. I didn't own a boat back then, so I never paid attention to boat launches, Marina's, or anything related to boating. I haven't used my Sabre yet this year, so today I've been doing my pre-season maintenance such as spark plugs and gear oil. Can't wait to get the Sabre out on the water.
  2. Good to hear that the walleye fishing is hot there. I've never fished Oneida, but I want to start this summer. I might only make a trip a month down there. The only launch I've looked into is the big county park on the west end of the lake. I'm a weekday fisherman because I don't like crowded boat launches. I'm more than an hour away from the west end off I-81. Where do you launch from?
  3. We haven't kept up with any local news there for 10 years now. I hope all of these changes haven't hurt the local economy.
  4. Wow, I didn't know that. Their camp was a small house near the seafood restaurant Captain John's, between that and the beach. Does OIN own Snug Harbor too, or just the properties north of the canal?
  5. Thanks! Renting a slip is much cheaper than buying property there. My wife's grandparents had a camp in Sylvan Beach until they sold it about 10 years ago. Some of my wife's best childhood memories are the weekends she spent with them on Oneida Lake.
  6. Can anyone recommend a good marina on Oneida Lake? The Oneida Lake link on this forum isn't very active so I'm asking here. I have a 22ft Crestliner Sabre, and I'm interested in a marina that isn't known for theft and vandalism, one that is family oriented, quiet, and pet friendly.
  7. Happy Father's Day!
  8. Can you send me some pics please. I'll PM you my cell #
  9. I have to figure out what day I can drive out there to look at it. I'll be in touch with you.
  10. Does it also have a rope start? Can't tell from the pic. PM sent
  11. Thanks! It's what I'm looking for, for my 16ft row boat. I would need to buy a mini jacker plate though, because my transom is only 15". Where are you located?
  12. Does it have a charging system? Tiller steer also?
  13. You might be right. I read the email and deleted it, so I can't go back and read it again. Edited to say, Garmin acquired Navionics, not Navico. That's what I get for not reading the email more carefully. Thanks to Shellback, I did some research on the merger.
  14. I'm keeping my boat in my driveway this year and launching at the Isthmus. Let me know when you'll be in the area and we'll plan a fishing trip.
  15. My Crestliner Sabre is 3ft deep from floor to gunwale. The cuddy cabin is great for storing all my fishing gear. Lots of room for fighting & landing fish. The Sabres with outboards feel like bigger boats than they are. Mine isn't for sale, but fishing with me one day might get you hooked on a Sabre
  16. FWIW, Garmin and Lowrance are now one company, according to the email I got today.
  17. Some people angle it backwards, or forward... I angle mine straight down, horizontal as the boat sits in the water. I use a fish finder to mark fish, bait and structure. It's personal preference, so no right or wrong way as long as you "see" what you want your fish finder to show you. A properly adjusted transducer can show some fantastic fish arches and bait, like this...
  18. The right half of your ducer should be slightly below the bottom edge of the transom. That would put the left half of your ducer slightly above the bottom edge of the hull. It looks like you have enough room on your metal bracket to lower the ducer a little bit.
  19. That's cool. I'm helping a friend of mine find a radio for his boat. He's in his 70's and needs a radio.
  20. Thanks, and I agree. Not looking for a cheap radio, but a good older radio that someone replaced with a new radio. The antenna is a Shakespeare.
  21. Fixed mount radio, not a handheld.
  22. Thinking worst case scenario (hopefully NOT)... how much is a re-power vs fixing the current engine & outdrive?
