  1. There you go! I am thinking of the same thing. I have 150lbs of quickcrete mix that I could do just what you are saying. Sounds like a good idea. will have to put it ahead of the "head" i.e. portapotty that I have in there for the wife.
  2. yup, you will have to look over the back and see where it sits when on plane.
  3. oh man I would never do that man. Would have every rodent in the area in my cabin!
  4. yeah some nice rigs. Way out of my price range when I bought mine for $8k.
  5. Really? I was just on there. When u do the Craigslist search go to vt and the type in Starcraft islander there are three that come up I just checked again. Big money though
  6. Man, I think I have seen that boat or at least the same name on another boat
  7. There is an 191 Islander for sale in VT. Nice rig, 1997 I believe. Has a 130OB on it and has the BRKT. really nice to have the OB version of the islander with the BRKT
  8. Yup, I really lucked out on my 91
  9. this is the one to look at. http://rochester.craigslist.org/boa/3851691667.html
  10. The bottom of the treble should not extend past the end of the fly skirt. i.e. when you lay it flat you shouldnt see the hook much. the beads are used between the hook and the top of the fly where your line goes through to keep the hook in place at the bottom of the skirt
  11. hannah, what did you put up front that was 200 lbs if I might ask?
  12. Perfect thanks! that is the same location as my existing Tite Lok is located on either side of the boat. I will just replace them with the single multilocks. I only plan on running a single dipsey off either side as it is.
  13. no, I am not going to get the HDI. I do not see the point of it for trolling. I am getting the base model with GPS
  14. Sounds good. My first package will be the June package! I guess is shipping now. Got an email from them yesterday looking for my mailing address. Guess I forgot to add that! Good customer service though! Looking forward to recieveing my fist of 3 shipments. Since I have nothing in the line of salmon tackle, anything is a good start!
  15. ok thanks for the posts!
  16. The islanders being a tin boat trailer easily. I trailer it with a 2001 durango V8. Launching is simple, being aluminum doesnt take much water to launch it. Super easy. I would much rather trailer a 22' aluminum boat over a 22' fiberglass one anyday!
  17. The Ford/Chevy debate. I am looking at the Elite 7 myself. I like the way it has a simple operation and the larger screen etc.
  18. Thanks for the feedback! that is what I will do! Are you using the standard big jons multi sets or the heavy duty?
  19. Would like to hear size of swivels for the following: sipseys - looking at 45# Sampo solid rings Clean Spoons/cranks? Dodger/flasher?
  20. I currently have 2 tite locks for dipseys that came on my islander. I want to replace them with a more rugged rod holder. I am not going to get the track system. I also want to basically replace now holder over the existing holes of the Tite Loks..They dont have to go into the same holes just want to cover them. Any thoughts as to Big Jon multi set rod holder? Would they be strong enough for the dipsey? I see they have heavy duty too. I havent heard if Berts come with bases or it is just a track system?
  21. Having a hard time finding 30# Fireline of 300 YD spool
  22. THis place is the place to get your stuff. I have made a few purchases from Bretts in the past month..Waiting on an order as we speak.I went with all okuma stuff, seems awesome!
  23. I bought a 1991 221V last year with the 4.3L V6 in her. I love it. Always wanted one and finally found it! I paid 8k for it..came with allot of rod holders, a full canopy, kicker plate etc..older electronics which I will upgrade. I got it out in Lake Erie. I basically watched craigslist. I will tell you one thing, they don't last long for sale once you do find out and there are not many out there for sale at least on craigslist. Here is a pic of mine taken last weekend.
  24. It is ok. You get allot of small 15-17" fish..once in awhile you get into some bigger females in the low to mid 20" inch range. The trout fishing rainbows and browns has picked up in recent years since they have been stocking them in there for awhile now
  25. I think he needs to post some pics of this vessel!
