    Overwidth Towing

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Been trying to find out about LEGALLY towing my 26 PY up to your pond a few times this summer and fall, I'm about screen blind from reading all the crap from the NY dept of trans, my question is, has anyone here from the forum ever gone thru all the steps and done it right, and if so maybe you can point me in the right direction or to someone who handles this  kind of thing. Ive never had a problem in years past with no permit, but Id like to be legal if its not too big a pain in the ass

    I have several times. Call me and i can give you the low down.

    Starcraft Fishmaster and Thru Hull Transducer

    I am not an expert but I have installed quite a few transducers. I liked thru hulls in my fiberglass hulls but not aluminum. I have a fishmaster 196 and have 3 transom mount transducers on the back. If it is installed properly ( level with the hull and 1/4" below the hull line) you won't lose bottom track or depth. I run a raymarine dragonfly and have no problem with that at 35 mph. Have run many transom mount transducers and thru hulls on my charter boats and they were all satisfactory. Airmars.

    Call the special permits office in the syracuse state office building and ask for jeremy. He will tell you exactly what you need. And yes you need lights, insurance and so forth. The most important thing you need is a pre planned travel route with every turn and route number spelled out. Done this dozens of times. 40.00, 80.00 or 360.00 depending on duration of permit.

    Why tip a Charter Captain?

    If he charged accordingly noone would want to afford a charter. Ask any charter captain what percentage of the fee he is able to put towards his health insurance, and what percentage of the fee goes into his retirement account and what percentage of the fee he puts away towards his 15% SOCIAL SECURITY TAX AND 20% FEDERAL INCOME TAX and what percentage of the fee ends up profit? Everyone knows a true business must must cover those costs. And does he pay himself $12.00 an hour for his time and experience? Just saying add it all up if you are treating him like a formal business and you will find out he is working for nothing if all is considered. $600.00 won't go that far. Again i know from17 years of experience. I also have a full time business for 25 years. I know the ins and outs. He does it for the love of the sport and all his efforts don' t show to the common patron.
