Suzuki's are probably the best engine on the market now.

Rivets are fine. I've known a few Crestliner owner's who's boats had to go back to the factory to reweld busted welds. Take a ride in the boat as opposed to determining whether it has rivets, welds, not rot construction, etc. I've owned 6 Lunds (2 Pro V's, one Grand Baron 2100, couple Adventure models), a few Sylvan's, Polar Kraft, and a bunch of Starcrafts (2 196 Fishmasters, one 196 Superfisherman, and a few others). Currently own a 196 Fishmaster. For a dry and comfy ride in any wave conditions, the Starcraft has the best riding hull out of all those boats I've owned. Never had a Crestliner because I didn't like the layout and the broken welds scared me off. I'm sure their quality has improved drastically since then but your best thing is to hitch a ride with someone and then make up your mind. Some of us can be very biased based on what we own. I used to really like Lund's until I got into a Starcraft hull.

The fin clipping, although conducted over a 3 year period, was only a mere snapshot of the conditions at that time. Natural reproduction will vary with the environmental conditions that are presented each season so to bank on numbers evaluated almost a decade ago on how much stocking is required is silly. One positive - the fishery on Lake Huron has certainly rebounded in the past 5+ years. When Lake O crashes, there will most likely be a resurgence. Gone are the glory days of the 80's and 90's on the quantity of fish that were caught. All of our expensive toys will be traded in for smaller items.....

Wasn't that chuckle on last night? Or was that just a hot mess?

I'm sure you first mentioned COVID and he's just stated that Port Hope indicated this was a major driving force. And I don't read what you are getting out of his responses to warrant your reply. Take it easy and go fishing.

Great looking boat that looks like new and not beat to **** like the other one that was for sale on this site a while back. Starcraft have the best riding boats out there - I also now own a 196 Fishmaster and have owned Starcraft's for many years.

But they are such a beautiful bird...…

Here is another winner Strangely enough, those phones are not sold in NA.

I would like to thank all of those who replied, especially those that took the time to sign up to this forum and reply specifically to my ad as their first and only post. A special thanks to those who are replying through TapTalk with your phones that are are only sold in Nigeria. I didn't realize that lyman lures were used out there.

Looking for lyman lures to add to my collection. PM me with what you are willing to part with.
