  1. Many fishing boats with twin outboards or inboards are used where only one is used as the trolling motor. The owner usually alternates to keep the hours balanced. I can go back as far as 35 years and remember a 25 grady white with twins that also had a kicker. That is the first I can remember. As the decades have moved forward more and more kickers have appeared on boats that have twins on them. So by observation that has become a more popular option as time has gone by.
  2. Need to be doing everything possible to curtail the spread of this. Glad they came to agreement.
  3. When someone comes looking at this down the road, the owner posted this in classifieds in May 2025. It is a sold unit.

  6. Same issue on Lake Erie. DEC says a normal event because of the first cold winter in a couple years. I can remember springs back to the 1970s where similar events occurred, not every year.
  7. I highly doubt you will find anything helpful. Boat is 37 years old as you know and who knows how many owners have had their hands in it rewiring things or adding new wires for something they put on. Might do a chance internet search, maybe someone has put something out there.
  8. Unsolicited advice. You need to fill in more of the details like the pictures, where you are located etc. Because right now with only one post and an account that was set up today you are presenting the impression of being a troll or worse yet a scammer. A word to the wise if you are legit.
  9. If that is showing 15 inches at the cavitation plate as the measuring tape is shown now, it is a short shaft. That is what is looks like to me from the pictures but I can't be sure without knowing what it reads and I can't see it.
  10. I had one for several years that I put a 90 four stroke on, no issue. But I also had the transom rebuilt because it was shot. Have a 191-CC project now that will eventually go the same route. Have no concerns as long as the transom is good and not rotten.
  11. I have seen 115s out there and a 140 out there this winter in the 20 inch shaft length. By out there I mean Ohio and east. I have not seen the V6s out there. I am talking about new ones or leftover new.
  12. As you know aluminum boats require a special paint. As stated above it can be prepped by just scuffing it and you do the primer coat and then the actual bottom paint coat. It has been years since I have had the boat that I did but I had that boat seven or eight seasons and the paint stayed on fairly well.
  13. Bow and Stern Marine, North Tonawanda. I had a Sea Nymph 19 done there over ten years ago. They farmed it out to a shop-did a great job. Price was reasonable at the time.
  14. On the move very slowly, 2:30 pm Saturday 1/25/2025.
  15. Called it a day this afternoon(Friday). Need additional resources to extract this vessel. Some of the ice they are attempting to break up is 5 ft. Possibly getting the assistance of the Canadian Coast Guard with a larger icebreaker.
  16. They decided to hold off yesterday and begin the icebreaking process at dawn this morning.
  17. Icebreaker just passed Dunkirk heading east at 11:45 am.
  18. Icebreaker was heading down the lake from the west earlier this morning.
  19. SOLD 3/27/25 Planer mast with Big Jon Reels. I am sure the pole itself was fabricated by someone. Will need you to create your own base or point of attachment. Any orange showing on it is dust from where it has been stored. Tried to get most of it off. $75.00 price reduced as of 3/14/25 LOCATION IS SILVER CREEK, NY.
  20. Frozen lakes cut evaporation even in the cold and overcast of winter. There have been drought like conditions in much of the country. The Mississippi River has been at record lows with barges getting stuck for the past year or so. All that impacts moisture available to get to the lakes.
