For sale: A 22' walkaround cuddy with a 2001 Mercury 125 two stroke. Motor runs very well and only had ethanol free fuel with Seafoam added in occasionally last season. Canvas salon enclosure was redone in 2008 and is in good shape. All of the zippers are in good shape. New last year were a fresh tune up of motor, impeller, digital float switch on the bilge pump, swim platform w/ 3 step ladder and fenders/lines package. Included with the sale will be the Lowrance LMS-520c combo unit, a vhf radio, double tree rod holders, danforth anchor with a long line and a very nice Escort single axle trailer. Trailer has rollers in front and bunks in the back, making it very easy to load and unload. Current reg. in hand. All lights work on boat and trailer. This boat has been very good to us on eastern Lake O, with many trips out to the Galloos and Henderson w/o a single problem. It has served the family well on play days too. Boat is currently wrapped up in Cape Vincent, NY.
I can be contacted by PM, or by calling 315-778-3526.

To answer your question about trolling, I have an '01 Merc 125 with the same feature. It trolls very well with a pair of sea anchors hung off the side of the boat. It would probably go slow enough without the anchors, but I run them so I can run a little higher rpm's, but still only two cylinders. Never a sign of fouling the plugs all spring and summer. A kicker might be beneficial, but not entirely necessary.

Went out to the Galloos targeting bass and saw a few boats trolling with boards. Were these taken out of that area?

If they ate willing to go the Henderson area, Sunken Treasure Charter is the way to go for walleye. Capt. Gene Bolton knows his stuff, especially walleye.

Warm soap and water to clean it up, and then Pledge. Works real nice. Just make sure whatever you use does not have alcohol in it. It degrades the plastic.

Thanks part that sucks most about hauling fuel in 5 gallon cans is the new "spill-proof" nozzles on all new containers. They should call them "patience-proof." Slow and infuriating.
On the water at five. Only put two walleye in the boat by 12:00, with a random small mouth mixed in. Black River Bay was slow too for the short time we were there.
On the bay at 5:45 this AM. Worked mainly Pt. Salubrius side. Put 4 walleye, and 3 smallies in the boat by 8:30. We ran purple Reef Runners and dark blue Husky Jerks. Both produced well.
