Nice area. I have friends around there (Athol, Chelmsford & Merrimack) but none of them fish. Father-in-law has a great fishing boat in Hingham... which will never see a fish. Unfortunate....

Steel I know the Springfield area prety good, whats the population there in Gardner....

Nice job out there Woody. Hey I found a very reasonable mechanic that specializes in Force motors if you ever get into something you cant handle give me a shout.

[woody 184]

Tom will do.. I was out fishing yesterday and when I finished up I took the boat for a little run from the launch I am so impressed at how smooth that Force is... I am going to baby that outboard.. I had it up to 25 sog yesterday.... I have to put a tach on the boat to keep tabs on that..... Woody

[steelfire]

We have a population of around 27000. We do about 3200 runs a year. We have the exact same tower as your quint 300.

Andy let me know the new boat is working great, just going to add a bow mount trolling motor to it for the jigging.. I picked a couple baitcaster combos for jigging with braid just ned a few 1 ounces with flukes and I am in... I'm working today at the Firehouse.. Next week I'm working Tuesday and Saturday......I'm in.... Woody
