pete, i'm sure u will be. and musky, just keep the dirt off the top of me. LOL is it a good thing or a bad thing hearing this poll. john

ami the only "old boy" here. 70 at last count. john

i have mine on the starboard also as its remote, the only recommendation i have is keep to the center as much as possible to help eliminate listing and still be able to use an easy steer. john

happy birthday hank

if u dont mind staying on the boat, wrights landing in oswego is a great place. rest rooms, launch and normally nice people, fishermen and others. lots of fishing info when fishermen are there. john

Tim, i did not mean my statement to be crude or arrogant, just that i was giving up on fishhawk and got one of there new probes and its night and day over what they used to be. have about 40 hours on this spring and bats are still good. john

all I can say is its the best investment i made in a long time. consistant readings and no coated cable. have to agree the old probe drove me nuts, but the x-4 is in my opinion a very good unit. try it before knocking it. john

jim, u have to remember how old i am. CRS is the main prob.. hope all is going well pete. john

caught 6 kings in two outings on may 8 and 9. at first it was 60 to 80 ft and 35 down, on 9 may in the morn it was 130 to 180 and 80 to 113 down. missed 4/5 and lots of knock offs. off the can on 8 and just east of the lighthouse on the 9th. john

I have had the pleasure of having a drink on that boat. it really is in good shape and one hell of a boat. john

not to bad mouth any org. but my experience with boat us trailer club as noit good. i had a brake hang up on I81 near wilkesbarre, called boat us and told them. the first words told to me was , i dont know when someone will be there, the second thing she told me is they dont do brakes. I said goodbye boatus. (forever) john

There are no words that i can add other than God Bless Him and all the true heroes. The american service men and women. john

seasquirrel last year i did my boat bottom, if i remember right it took four coats of sealer and then i put two coats of soft ablative paint on it. i used blue water paint and sealer,the price was good and i am happy with the results. u can find info at www.ipaint.com. the biggest thing is preparation, dewax first then sand and sand and sand. first time i ever did it and its not hard just a lot of work. i believe the seal coat is most important. john if i can help let me know.
