Bump!

I know Ed very well the owner and like I mentioned he has owned this boat since 1985 always garage kept. The last 20 years a few 3 day derbies on Champlain and very little use over the seasons. It's never been to Ontario. All Champlain. The launch is 1 mile from his house. Ed is downsizing and out of the fishing picture these days in retirement.

Colchester VT near Burlington.

I am posted this for a friend who isn't computer savvy. One owner of this boat since new. I will try to get more photos from him to post here. Original main motor.

1985 Starcraft Islander, 4 electric Canon downriggers, 200hp Merc, 9.9 4 stroke Merc Kicker, canvas top, loaded with equipment. Please contact me for more details. Boat always kept in garage! Email Ed at: [email protected] Here are some of the accessories: - King VHF 7000 - Ray Jefferson Temp Control - Chapter Digital Troll Speedometer - 4 Canon Mag10 Downriggers - 2 6ft Booms - 2 4ft Booms - Lowrence 350A w/gps antenna - Mercury Dual Controls

Non-downrigger rod delivery device on demo on water trolling I made at 6 am on Lake Champlain with 31F air temp at sunrise.

Here is the new video just made showing how the Slideducer is installed on the rigger cable with no cutting required. The data cord plugs into the back of the display. The display should be anchored. Here is a great video from Fish Hawk that shows how to set this system up without a downrigger:

I agree with Tim 100% We fish the Niagara Bar (LOC derby) in the Spring and Lake Champlain the rest of the season for Atlantics and dealing with currents all the time. The Fish Hawk is the gold standard for us. Especially identifying the upper and lower Thermocline in the Summer. I could make the case we have been fishing 32 years and we could still catch fish without a probe. The metaphor is: I could also say I really like my automatic transmission in my car now versus a stick shift back in the day and shifting all day. Just saying. Shift or auto transmission? Autopilot or steering the boat manually (that is another thread)? I prefer improvements and technology for the sport. Where we would be today if we were still using a flasher sonar from 1980?

Better to go with the 22" when deciding for the 22 ft boat. 28" may cause a lot of rpm to pull em.

Next time out (two weeks from now possibly) I will make a short "You Tube" video demo with my Amish Outfitter bags and post that video on this thread.

I use 18" Amish bags for my 19' 9" 2013 Starcraft Fishmaster bowrider with a 150 Mercury 4 stroke. I personally don't believe dropping pitch to 15 from 19 makes a very big difference as it might shave off a few tenths from my experience. I run 3 mph without bags and one bag will get me down to 2.4 mph and 2 bags out will drop it to 2.0 mph. I love them. Great performance from my Simrad autopilot running bags in choppy water as well. The autopilot won't get lost from a gust of wind with bags out. Very easy breezy to put out and pull back in just ahead of the riggers.

That was my next question Tim...where to book a room. Good stuff and thanks! Ron

Sounds good... and hope to make it if I can get a crew together for the trip.

Tim, Always wanted to attend, but 8 hours travel time from Vermont in the dead of Winter can be a challenge. What is the cancellation policy ie refund of the $75 for this if weather makes it impossible to travel? It would be the same distance travelled for someone coming from Western side of Michigan.....450 miles.... Ron
