Anybody know if the launch is still in order after the flooding earlier this week?

Any word on Pine Grove launch... enough water for an 18' Lund to scoot out? Thanks guys. Sent from my moto g stylus using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hi Everyone. Planning to finally get back on the big lake tomorrow after a year long hiatus after selling my Lund Rebel. After a 9 month search I was finally able to replace it with another Lund, an Impact. We've got everything ready to go and are just looking for thoughts on where to launch and any thoughts on a starting point fow. Really appreciate the help.

Hey guys, I've seen so many videos lately of guys targeting browns and steel through the ice in a number of Lake Michigan harbors with good success. Are there any east end harbors that make good ice to give it a try? And obviously where it can be done legally? The tactics I've seen are guys setting up near shore, in and around docks, etc. A couple potential spots that come to mind as potential sites...Oswego Harbor, The SR Estuary via Pine Grove? Thanks for any help. Sean Sent from my moto g stylus using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I've always had good luck on eBay with my gear. Setup daily reminders for the specific model #s you're looking for and be patient. Usually with some time time you can get a new or open box unit for 20-35% off. Just bought a 7" helix gps g3n unit for $425 this week. Just be ready to pull the trigger quickly when you're item comes up! Sean Sent from my moto g stylus using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Great question I was just trying to find a balance between overall functionality and having some decent space to hold gear and possibly spend an overnight or two on the boat. I am definitely open to other ideas in that range if you have any Sent from my moto g stylus using Lake Ontario United mobile app

So I sold my 17' Lund Rebel about a month ago with the intent of sizing up to a 21-25' walkaround to handle a bit more weather on the big lake. I've been looking around at a bunch of makes/models and honestly the list is a bit overwhelming. I'm hoping to get everyone's thoughts on boats you'd recommend and maybe those to stay away from. My priorities are probably the same as anyone in search of one of these boats; large rear deck for fishing, ample storage in the cuddy, reliability, stability in "weather", towable by a 1/2 ton, etc. My budget isn't huge at $20-$30k. A few features that I think would be nice...hardtop, outboard, wash down, lockable cuddy, autopilot. I put together a list of Makes/Models that I've seen either for sale or recently sold that meet these basic requirements, in no particular order.
