Thanks just put two new tires on and I don't even Know if they are radials! My neighbor down the road is a tire man and I just leave the bad ones and he calls me next day with news ones on. Convenient. I will check and see. Load range C is what he out on I did notice that last night. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hard to say for sure with one trip, but I think moving the boat forward 4 inches helped. Little to no sway coming home. I can come forward another 3 inches, but I will have to move the rear rollers too. Trailer says load capacity is 3400 lbs.4474 GAWR. So, I'm probably maxed out, 2700 boat, 300 lbs of fuel, 175 HP outboard and 9.8 hp kicker.

Thanks for all the replies. I will check the trailer capacity tomorrow, but I think it is adequate from what I remember reading the placard a while ago. The rear rollers are 3 or 4 inches forward of the transom. I can move the front hitch forward 3 or 4 inches, there is room for that. I will try doing that tomorrow after I launch the boat off the trailer. That should increase the tongue weight some. without weighing it I will not know though. Worth a try and definitely can't hurt. The brochure for this old 1983 grady white bimini 220 says boat weighs 2200 lbs but I don't know if that is with a motor or not. Does not specify that.

It could be the receiver is defective, or the antenna or antenna cable. Did you adjust the squelch? It controls receiver sensitivity. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I got a new truck to pull my boat. I'm getting more sway with F150 versus the Nissan Frontier. Once on that bad stretch of the I90 through the Catt Indian reservation it started so bad the anti sway (braking action of the f150) kicked in. Do trailers need alignment? Any suggestions? I don't have a scale to check tongue weight. Should I get some sort of a sway bar? Sometimes it's smooth as can be, for a long way, then all the sudden starts swaying. Is it the road,?

I've looked into it after reading your post. I ordered the kestrel flexfit saddle. 10 week backorder so I guess I will have to wait until late bow season. Now I'm checking out ways to climb the tree. Looks like SRT single rope tree, or using a single strap on step may work for me. I hunt public lands so this may be best way for me to get way back in as I do, but without lugging a heavy tree stand. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I am relagated to only hunting public lands in NY. I cannot see paying $5 to To 7k to hunt. Since I hunt alone, I would have to bear the full cost. These leases are for the wealthy, or for a group of hunters to split the cost. I remember growing up in PA, nothing was posted. We hunted every where no problem. Times have changed.

For a 243 I would use 85 grain Sierra hollow point game kings. This is what I use in my 243. The game kings are NOT a varmint bullet. I would use the minimum powder grains listed in the manual. For example, the powder I use is IMR 4064. I won't tell you what I use in my full power loads because it is way over max to develop a Chrono verified 3300 FPS. For a reduced load I would use 33 grains of 4064. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

My Dad had neck vertebrae surgery. He's 82. He was worried about recoil. I loaded up some shells with reduced gunpowder. He got got two deer with those loads. 250/3000 Savage with 90 grain Sierra game king hollow points. I used 32 grains of IMR 4320. According to the Sierra manual this gives 2700 fps but I didn't Chrono it. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I don't like them at all. But I should try bleeding them and using the recipes provided. Sad thing is they usually die when I release them so I keep them all. I smoke them and folks absolutely devour them! Even then I'm not fond of them. I use the brown sugar and salt as a rub, as shown on YouTube smokehouse products video.

I have a friend that catches tons of salmon in the creeks and rivers on Skein. In fact two years ago he took me to the falls on the Genesee and we caught about 6 or 7 huge Kings on Skein. So why do I have such trouble getting a staging Salmon to hit, as I troll back and forth through a screen covered with salmon, trying everything in my arsenal? Usually this results in nothing but frustration. I'm wondering if if should just drift over them with Skein! Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
