Prefer Smally's to LM's here. Yah, I'm weird, but I find them much more entertaining than their large mouth cousins.. :oops:

I changed my background at work to a ZeeBaaS reel overlaying a Striper at work. Dude saw it and asked me what it was, all I could do was longingly say "You just don't understand........" :cry: :cry: :cry:

Amazing what some extra power will do - Previous 7.5Hp E-rude got the boat fully loaded with half deck to 10.5mph single, 7mph with two anglers and gear. New 15Hp Johnson has the boat at 22.5mph with two anglers fully loaded on flat water. Single angler, well - :D - she makes plane, that's...

Great rods - I could use another one... 8)

Did someone say "stripers"? \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ Where do I park the car? I'll be there with coffee and a great attitude! What's a poor guy from WI to do?! Grumble, guess I'll head to the big lake and go chase salmon.... :cry:

The stop button works by grounding out to the motor - pressing the momentary button completes the circuit to the motor block and kills the motor. If you pop the hood, you should see the wire that comes in from near the handle (or button itself) and where it goes back to the bolt on the block...

SEND IT TO ME! I will use it to send inappropriate and terrible things to BA. (Seriously, now is the time to get that Lews I've been looking at I think...)

No problem! If you want I can make a terrible picture in Paint and try to figure out how to get it on here.. :lol: JMO, but if you're going to consider aluminum decking, don't go with wood supports - do it right the first time and go with a tubular aluminum frame. You can do the frame with...

maybe the wrong way to look at the problem, but if you're only beaching it a foot or so, why not just carry a chunk of carpet square with a dummy cord so you can tie it off to the bow? Toss it on the ramp and pull the boat on to it - not the concrete. Then when you're ready to go just hop in...

This is very similar to what I did with mine, in fact it look almost the same (except my boat already has an aluminum nose cap on it). My deck started about 2" above the point where the sides of the bow start to curve in, on your boat it'd be the level with the seat top over the "V" that goes...

Rough Fenderday for me. BIL sent my phone in the drink. Put a big ol' treble through my thumb. (they are even more of a PITA to push through I found out) BIL horsed a NICE walleye at the boat so I couldn't get the net under her in time and we lost it. New motor took a crap, it's headed for the...

Neat!!

Got the motor I've been after for a year, a new to me, mid 80's Johnson 15Hp. Marginal weight increase, but the transom's rated for an 18Hp Fast Twin which weighs more than this one (and I'm svelt enough). Can't wait to get out on the water with it!! Mike - Nice looking motor there, I...

RE-RE-RE-RE-REPOWER!!!!! Doubled my HP, now to test it out - hopefully we make plane now... :mrgreen:

I'm normally against the rampant abuse of pseudo bacon product. But those sound awesome. NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM =P~
