Now I gotta go to the face books and check it out!

Congrats Ryan!!

Thanks Guys! I'm excited!
almost done with the boat project, I'll get some more pics up in a bit

Speaking of boats . Went out this weekend and my trolling motor head is busted up really bad its been cracked for several years and is a little small for my boat . Thinking about a Motor guide digital in 80# thrust . Thoughts idies ?

That'll pull that boat around like a sumbish

+ 1, Ryan !

I'd skip the motorguide if it were me and go with the same from Minnkota. The quality comparison side by side is pretty easy to spot.

It's pretty tough to find a motorguide around here.

As far as an 80#'er, that will push you along great and being 24v, should give you a full day, or nearly so, of fishing.

I agree with T, tough to beat a Minnkota.... I have just a 74 pound 24v on the front of my boat and a 70 pound 24v on the back and have yet to run out of juice on a day of fishing.

T- you been fishing 'eyes much yet?

I've been out almost every weekend on local lakes. Last weekend I hit the Chippewa Flowage, but didn't fare well there. It was weird, it's a wonderful lake, full of walleyes, but it was cold and I couldn't get em to eat. We did however, catch some crappies that wereas big as some walleyes. They made the trip home.

I've had both Minnkotas and Motor Guides and the Minnkotas are just plain better.

just don't expect to get an advertised rebate, it is impossible.

I expect not to on almost everything. The only thing I remember getting a rebate on was boxes of Hevi-shot turkey loads from Remington.

Anybody here ever fished the Whitefish Chain? We've got a family vacation over the 4th of July and I'm planning on breaking off from the group for a couple solo fishing runs over that way. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Walleye, muskie, or maybe bass.

Finished the boat project this morning. taking the wife and kids out for the maiden voyage on a small electric only reservoir.

can't believe it went from this:



To this :


had a great time doing this project with my two little helpers. they had a blast and hopefully remember this for a long time.


Off to the lake after some delicious (yuck) trout.

The one north of Duluth? Oops! That's Whiteface, sorry.

Just wondering if any one of the lakes in the chain is any better than the others, any spots? Sure not gonna try it over the weekend-everyone that owns a boat will be on the water. I'm thinking mid week.

I don't know that chain at all. Sorry.

Well fhat the wuck, Tom!

Ryan,the boat looks darn good.

GG,have fun fishing.I wish you success.

Ryan-how did you pull out the middle seat? Was it riveted to the floor, and if so, how'd you fill the holes from the rivets? Possibly considering this conversion with my 14 Ft. Lund if I decide to hang on to it.
