We rented a house on Keuka last week. The depth at the dock went from 6.1 to 7.2 feet overnight. 7 inches of rain.

There’s a hot tub submerged in the creek? Where is it?

I was out there solo. The wind was ridiculous. I did manage to get one in the boat before I gave up at 8:00. When I got home 8 miles away, the trees weren't even moving.

As of Thurs night, no docks. One empty boat trailer in the lot, maybe hand launched?

When he registers boat and trailer, they are seperate transactions. Needs itemized or seperate reciepts. There is a dmv(ny) form for that. One for each. 

Have you tried it? It only has a 1.5 out of 5 star rating.

Mine came last Friday. I thought that was pretty late.

I thought you weren't supposed to use wing nuts for a boat battery because of vibration.

K. Thanks

I'm in 225 fow. 55 deg at the ball with 56 feet of cable out.

Bob,

  I have 3 of the 2" and 1 smaller. I'll trade you for for NK or dreamweaver type spoons. I took a picture, not sure how to post it on here. Send me a pm and I'll email or text it to you.

  Mike

Wouldn't work on my phone either

Just a heads up. Took a drive out there today, the docks are not out yet.

Mike

He's going to be missed. My 9 year old girl likes to sit and watch his show with me on Friday nights. He came across as a master of his craft and a great guy.

Mine came today, I was about ready to give up on it. I think the last issue was August.

Mike

2 were on jointed Rapalas and one on a Challenger. They were all in natural colors.

Nice class guys, I would definitely recommend it. With just a little fine tuning we landed 2 browns and a coho off Sandy Creek yesterday.

Looks like you want to run electric trolling motor, gps, sonar and downriggers. Sounds like a lot of juice, how many batteries? You might want a gas trolling motor that can help keep the batteries charged instead of running off them. Don't forget the vhf radio, you can wire it to the gps to send coordinates for a distress signal.

Don,

I also have a Lund Fisherman. Which Garmin did you go with? The TR1 Gold and disconnect the steering or the GHP10 even though it"s smaller than 20 hp?

Mike

where are you located?

Mike

Too much boat for me. I'm looking for 19" max, outboard motor, steering console. Not too old, 10 years? Something I can get into and out of the water easy. I'll keep looking.

I was afraid of that. The dealer in town didn't have any in stock, so I'm going to try to get to Syracuse this weekend. That way I can see one. It's hard to tell from pictures.

I started out looking at used on Craig's List We launched a 17' Mirrocraft with a 90 hp Mercury. It took 2 tries to start it, and it stalled out in neutral. The guy was running gas/oil mix and the motor has an oil reservoir. There was also some paperwork issues.

Thanks, Mike

Hi guys,

I'm thinking about buying a Alumacraft Classic 165 CS. Its a 16.5 ft boat, 82" wide weighs 900lbs.They have a package with a 50hp Yamaha 2 stroke and a Minn Kota 55 trolling motor. I'll be using it in the Finger Lakes of NY and some trolling along the shore of Lake Ontario. Maybe taking the kids tubing. Is this enough boat for an average day on the big lake? I wouldn't take it out when it's too rough, or too far out when it's calm. How about the trolling power. Is the 12v strong enough, battery life? Will the 50 idle slow enough to troll?

thanks, Mike
