SOLD. Please take down. Selling my smoker craft 1232 Jon boat (with papers) and a Johnson 2hp motor (if the motor had 20hrs on it is be surprised). Perfect for two guys hunting or bays and hemlock/Candice.Boat motor oars n cushions $1000 obo. Don't need to sell, but with 2 bigger boats it just never got used. Located in Rochester 585-406-1312 mark

If your not looking to drop a ton of money gander mountain has a decent heavy musky rod for like $75 should work fine for pike casting heavy baits

So I called a few shops and was surprised by the prices everyone wanted 6+ hours of labor and to pull the motor. I ended up going with Southbay boat n tackle on empire at the back of I Bay. They changed the cylinder and seals and had the boat back in a week. I'm very happy with the work. Parts + 3 hours of labor and I'm back in business . Thanks for the help and suggestions

It's an outboard

So I stopped at Bryce marina on the way to work.....i was told I should just replace the whole unit $1200 with labor vs just cylinder because the labor for taking the cylinder off and putting it back together would be the same price pretty much. Any one with experience on the matter chime in.

Great thanks for the info

So I uncovered the rig today. Only to find my trim cylinder had cracked over winter. From looking online it seems all mercury motors tend to have faulty seals and have a lot of problems cracking. Some say it's covered by Merc and others have not been so lucky. I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem and do I call a shop or take a chance on a eBay cylinder and a rebuild kit. That being said does anyone have lead on a good boat guy on the west side of rochester. I doubt an 06 motor is still covered by a warranty but I'll still call Monday. Any help would be great, thanks

I tapped these ameriglo sights in and they work just fine

If you have trouble finding one The Firing Pin in Bergen has a few.

I'm glad you mentioned the the bait pile. I often wonder how many guys that want Ohio regs would like or love the bait reg. I can see both sides of the argument. I hunted in Ohio and didn't realize they baited during the season. Honestly I felt like I was cheating the whole time .

Southern Ohio outfitters looks very promising ...my wife bought me a hunt last year for my birthday through eastern Ohio trophy whitetails (i would not re book them) anyone wanting details feel free to send a PM if considering them. The land and bucks were good the outfitter not so much.

Had 6 doe at 45yds then a small 4pt came running in checking does and busted them all up. Of course not a single doe came my way and no big boys around to push the 4pt out.

Nice buck! Very slow in 8c today. Had a small buck running a doe right at 7am and a lone doe at 730 and not a thing since.

That dark yote would look nice on a wall

That's awesome, I've always wanted to try out that places since it's about a ten min drive. I'll have to book a day for sure now.

That's a mint buck for sure! Congrats

My spot has been over run with yotes this past month. I have 3-4 on my camera almost twice a day when I check. I also have had two nights I've seen 20 deer mostly all doe with fawns . The harsh winter didn't totally drop the numbers in 8A by the lake.
