  2. I knew the one at Krenzer's was bad. Plus the hull was older and has less dead rise. I am familiar with the one from Macedon as it had been listed for some time. Glad it worked out for you! I've looked at a few...Bonnie Castle in Abay had a clean 82 32' and there was and still is a repowered single engine 28' in Watkins Glen. Not very popular on Lake O but they are every where in Erie to the west. They are popular with the Walleye Charters. Holiday Harbor on Chataqua was a dealer for them. That's why there are so many down there. 

  3. You say the battery's are charged but have you tested them? Check all the terminal connections at batteries and battery switch. If all is good, tap the starter with a hammer and try it again. After that maybe jump the solenoid. Other than that, main fuse if there is one. Then maybe ignition switch. Get yourself a manual for the engine and start trouble shooting.

  4. Can't speak to the Oswego area but the techniques are the same. Sticks and light spoons work best for Browns.Troll flatlines at the minimum and use big boards or inlines to increase your coverage. Also no need to wait till May/June. It can be productive as early as April depending on location and weather.

    Thought I'd pass this on just for consideration. I have had my single axle trailer since it was new going on 19 years now. I stlll have the same set of bearings in it and only replaced the seals last year despite a lot of trailering on hilly country as well as major roads. I have had bearing buddies since day one as they worked well on my previous boat. What I do differently than many is this: I use triple guard grease (blue/green in color) as it is thicker than the other stuff, I load the bearing buddies up fully so the grease starts coming out around the inner circumference watching the internal ring move outward but stop at that point. You don't want to create too much pressure on the inner seals of the hub. I also fill the existing space inside the bearing buddy with the grease and then put the plastic bra over the bearing buddy. When I trailer and get to the launch I let the wheels cool down a few minutes while getting the boat ready to launch and do not enter the water immediately. Reason: expansion contraction potentially allowing water to seep inside the bearing buddy or inner seal. I ALWAYS refill the bearing buddy after trailering so the bearings are always in grease. Water and lack of lubrication is the greatest enemy of bearings when hot. I believe keeping that total seal is what has allowed the bearings to last this long:smile: Due to my superstitious nature I always continue to do things repeatedly when they work:lol: I guess the best part of this is that it has my top notch auto mechanic fishing partner scratching his head in disbelief :lol:Something to maybe think about....

     

    Agree and disagree!

    Waiting for the hubs to cool down before entering the water is an excellent practice for the reasons you mentioned. Not many people know that or they are just in too much of a hurry to care. 

    Greasing as often as you do is not the same as a physical inspection every year preferably in the fall. This eliminates any water in the hub from freezing during winter storage. I know you are being careful not to over grease but most are not. You recognize these folks by the amount of grease splattered on the wheel, or worse... underneath the hull from the rear seal leaking...or worse than that...a seized brake hub from grease leaking past the rear seal onto the shoes creating all kinds of fun!

    19 years on the same bearings👍  is probably due to the quality of the bearing made 20 years ago vs. those used today.

  6. Don't really understand all the neg comments. I went out tonight and took a look..A very large inventory and selection of product just as the OP described. Way too much to list separately.  Maybe in a perfect world...but that certainly isn't the case today, as we all know. 90% of what I saw were new items in original packaging and fairly priced. Not Flea Market prices but certainly fair and less than retail. It was worth my time to save a few bucks and good conversation. 

    Highly Recommend!
