I do the gimble mounts with big jons & have not had a problem at all. The only thing is if you trailer the boat with them in they bounce around a bit so I just remove them or tie them tight together with rope or rachet strap.
Are any launches left open after Oct. 15 at the Sm.boat harbor or at Erie basin for the musky fishing guys? And if so how long are they open? thanks for info.
Why do they take the docks out so early?? Do they block the launch off so it can't be used or can you still launch a boat without them? Thanks for any info ,was thinking of makeing a trip there from Buffalo.
That maybe something to look at after I have the repairs made/welded. I did contact the manufacturer & it must be a problem for them because they do make a repair sleeve for this problem so I don't think I am the first. I am sure ther is some twist/torsion when pounding lake erie 4-5 footers . You proably don't get those on the finger lakes?
Just wondering if anyone has had trouble with their hard top frame welds & upright posts cracking? Two years ago my welds cracked at the braces on the front of the frame & I had those repaired. Now the main front support pipes are cracked just below the repaired welds on those same pipes. This top is on a 92 Grady White seafarer. I was thinking of adding a cross brace between the 2 main pipes when having the cracks repaired. Any other ideas out there ? Thanks.
Fished out in front of the Catt. this Am. caught 80+ fish kept 50 nice ones, some nice jacks. Started out with small ones until the bigger ones moved in. Beauty of a day until the 3-4 fters. came.
