I went with the 112

I had a 60" on my Baron and switched to a 72" this spring.  MUCH better performance - I'd go with the longer shaft for your 210.

Boat looks great Glen!

It's just being released as I type this so it's a bit hard to find, but after some looking around I found it here:

Here is today's press release right from Humminbird about it:

Humminbird® LakeMaster's 2015 Releases now include new SouthEast and Western States versions including PLUS Editions

EUFAULA, AL. March 24, 2015


LakeMaster just keeps on surveying, expanding coverage, and bringing even more lake maps to your Humminbird fish finders. The latest expansion in the LakeMaster cartography library is the new SouthEast Version 3 and new Western States Version 2 micro SD map cards.



And LakeMaster didn't stop there. The new SouthEast and Western States regions are also available in the PLUS series that offer anglers aerial image overlay on High Definition waters. The detailed aerial views give light to fish-holding areas like the entry and exits of creek channels, how far a reef or weed line extends, and steep rock bars and drop-offs that extend out into the lake - all of which have been missing from traditional maps.

Thanks guys, billy that is some great info and the unfortunate part is that i have lowrance hds 7 on my fishmaster so i wouldnt be able to use the link. I will do the 72 in shaft though! fist time i ever said that    

 

If it was up to you and in my situation what would you do. Upgrade steering to hyrdaulic and put in normal autopilot and go with out minn kota for another year or two. Or get the ipilot and delay normal auto pilot for a couple more years.

 

I went with the iPilot and didn't upgrade steering or add an AP and have been pretty happy with my decision.  I'll be even happier with the 72 incher!

I have a Lund 2150 Baron and have a 60", 112 lb Terrova with iPilot Link on the boat along with a main and kicker motor.  It's a great tool and we can easily use it as the only propulsion when trolling.  My only issue, and they've already addressed it, is that on the Baron the 60" shaft is just barely long enough to keep the prop in the water so we really only get it's full benefit when the lake is flat.  Minn Kota has just recently announced a 72" Terrova so we will likely put one of those on the boat and sell the 60".  We've used it as primary propulsion and have also used it as steering control when we're running the kicker.  Without it I would have a terrible time trying to get my trolling spread set up, but with it the boat just holds it's line and I can get things in the water pretty quickly when I'm out by myself.  I agree with the above statement that it's not a replacement for a first mate or for a stand alone autopilot, but it is a huge help and so far I haven't felt the need to buy a stand alone autopilot for the boat.  My guess is that once I get the 72" model that it'll be even more useful for my application as the prop with be at it's specified depth all the time.

Something new that I'm really looking forward to is that Lakemaster has finally released a cartography chip with contour lines for Lake O.  Because Lakemaster is part of the Johnson Outdoors family, our Humminbird/iPilot Link system reads the chip and we will be able to ask iPilot to follow a specific contour line.  That'll be really great in the spring when targeting browns.

You'll love iPilot, and for sure get one with Link if you have a Humminbird unit on the boat.

PM me. I have a guy right here in Ithaca that does a great job dipping.

Thanks Sean!

We trailered the Lund up and planned to fish Sunday night in Sodus and Monday in Oswego.  Needless to say we didn't make it out on Monday due to the wind, so Sunday night was it. 

We got set up at about 1:30pm in 3 footers and found lots of marks in 75-80FOW just a tad west of port and worked that for most of the evening.  We pulled a few BT's and a rainbow out of that area.  When we ventured out deeper to look for majors all we found was a very blank screen.  We went as deep as 225FOW and had nothing to show for it so we just decided to work the skinny water to try and move a few rods.  DW Lazer Spook, Midnight Special, and Die Hard took the bites fished from bottom up to 50'.  We had shots on our 10 color core, riggers, and divers.  While it wasn't fast and furious, it certainly felt good to be back on Lake Ontario again and we're already looking forward to our next trip up in August!

Yes they're still for sale!

Congratulations Rollie. Well done!

Lake is pretty clean.

Lake is still too cold for fleas.  It's gonna be a while before they show up yet. 

what is your new ride on the water?

I bought a Lund Baron.  Lovin' it!

Great day Mike, congrats!  Yes, we were out yesterday and poked around a few spots.  We'll see just how dialed in we are on Sunday!  :smile:

The lamprey problem is most prevalent at the south end in the spring and then again lake-wide later in the season.  They haven't been bad at all lately and haven't been bad the past few years in June, July, and August.  We didn't fish much this spring due to rigging up the new ride, but in years past nearly every fish that we caught out of the south end in the spring would have at least one lamprey on it, and some would have as many as 4 or 5 small eels on it.  Later in the season we've had them attach to rigger weights, the back of the boat, etc.and they're much bigger at that point.  I'm another that believes that the lamprey problem has significantly impacted this fishery.

Sweet boat!

Ion control is really designed for use in salt water. We've just settled on turning the setting down as far as we can.

It's from all of the run off and the lake being so high.  It'll settle down soon.  Like was mentioned above, there is a TON of junk floating in the water so everyone should be very careful when running their boats.

We're in

Ya I didn't realize you already had a set of church boards.  I'm a little OCD and had to have all green cabelas boards and use the off shores as back ups. I like the church boards just could never get them to pull as hard.  

 

Look at franksgreatoutdoors.com they have great prices on those boards as well and ship very fast.

OCD here too - gotta match!  LOL

I've owned Church walleye boards for years and never had a single part on them fail. They're the best boards out there for my money. How are you using the pins that they're breaking?

I appreciate the suggestions but I'm really just looking for a couple of port and starboard church boards to match what I already run.

That works. Might want to post up the rules again. We'd love to see a full field this year. One suggestion is to ask teams to pay before they fish. With last years tough fishing lots of teams never even weighed (and as a result never put their $$ in the pot) and we only took home $80 or so. I'm pretty sure that there were far more teams than that competing. I'd like to see the winning team take home the full pot in all future events.

If you've never fished a tournament before, this would be a great one to get your feet wet with.

Yes

Yes what?

Thanks, I'll check them out.

I'm looking for 4 Church Walleye or TX-22 boards.  Anyone have some for sale?  PM me here if you do.

Thanks!
