    My boat doesn't make a good ice breaker. I'll wait for walleye season

    So much for Spring in Jefferson County. Dealing with another 12"+ of new snow. It's snowing and blowing so hard that the plows haven't been on the roads since last night around 8pm. Gotta use 4 wheel drive to get to work again this morning.

    Thanks! Wasn't sure if it was a Sylvan or a Blue Fin

    I like Simple Green.

    Nice find, congrats! What's the make, model, length & beam?

    Could also be the distributor, ignition, or the fuel delivery system. If you choose to take it to a marina, I've always done business with Spicer's in Clayton. They are very thorough and they sea trial the boat before they consider it fixed. They also charge much less than other marinas. I've never done business with Chaumont Bay Marina, but they seem to have a good reputation. I hope this boat gives you many years of reliable service.

    I'm currently running a 1989 Evinrude 150 on my Crestliner. It runs great after I paid a local marina to tune it up for me. It ran rough at slow speed when I bought the boat, and ran good at higher speeds. I took a chance and I'm glad I did. The motor had its VRO disabled and removed by a previous owner, and I left it that way. Compression was good on all 6 cylinders. The shop replaced the water pump/impeller, diagnosed and fixed a low fuel pressure issue and replaced a main gasket at or near the bottom of the power head. They did some other work on the boat and motor and it runs like it has another 10 years left in it, maybe longer. It was well worth the $900 it cost for the repair work. I know it's not a Ficht motor, but there are some good older motors that still run great with some initial investment.

    Can't go wrong with the X4D

    Which Fish Hawk did you buy? I was looking at their new model because I could use it on both of my boats. But I'm still undecided.

    Haha, it'll just be buried again by more lake effect snow. That's life on the East end of Lake O.

    My boat is blocked by a wall of snow 3-4ft deep. All this snow might melt by May, just in time for the walleye opener.

    I love my 12" cimeter knife on big salmon. I'll look into a Kota Japan sharpening steel too.

    It's possible that they went into their post and deleted their information and pictures by using the EDIT option. I've never done that with my ads. I just mark them as SOLD/CLOSED and let them get buried behind all the new ads. Contact L&M or BlueEye and see if they can answer your question. They are moderators that have special access that the rest of us don't have. Sorry I can't be of any more assistance. Send them a private message and they will reply to you.

    They slapped his left hand the first time in court. This time they'll slap his right hand.

    You might be right about "wanting" more, but I have everything I "need" Does the wish list ever go away? Nope. If I buy something for the 2019 fishing season, I promise to post a pic of it here on this thread
  17. Todd in NY
    One of the mods will have to answer that one. I just mark them "SOLD/CLOSED" and leave them alone.

    Most of my gear is second hand also, especially my old "outdated" electronics I went through 2 boats in 3 years before I found my Crestliner with a 1989 Evinrude 150. It's the perfect boat for me.

    This is the first off-season that I'm not shopping for a "new" boat, or fishing gear, or boat gear. I'm completely satisfied with my 1988 Crestliner Sabre 220. I spent much of 2018 rewiring the boat, adding a Hummingbird 1198 SI/DI/GPS and a Lowrance HDS8, as well as a 15hp Evinrude kicker. I added a bunch of new fishing gear as well. I got some good fishing trips in last year and caught some nice fish. It feels good to have the right boat and all the gear I need for many years to come. I still like to follow "This Old Boat" section to see what kind of projects everyone is involved with.

    Good luck with your "new" boat. I almost bought a GLS 220 with a 4 cylinder, but I didn't want a stern drive. They are nice boats.

    His stomach appears to be a bottom-less pit!

    Gag order translates to bad for the public, good for the government. They passed a 60% pay raise for themselves (as part time employees) and now they need to "create" the money to pay for their new salaries. A state, of the government, by the government, and FOR the government

    Are these made any more? How hard is it to find replacement parts?
  24. Todd in NY
    Very nice! You don't see those every day.

    They are one in the same. I do the one so I don't have to do the other
