Thinking of changing it up this year and going to Sandy for something new instead of Mexico/Oswego over Labor day but my only real reservation is navigating through the channel/pond. How bad is it if you don't know the area? How bad is it with a West wind- 2-4.

Would be renting a cottage on the pond by the golf course.

Looking for 4 swim platform brackets. A frame style.

i have a pair and live in mass...pm me

I have a trophy 2352 with a 5.7 V8. At one point there was an oil leak and now the bilge is thick grease. I cannot reach the bottom of the bilge to scrub it and the boat sits on a trailer currently. I have ready many posts about bilge cleaner, dishwashing liquid, simple green, etc.

 

Wondering what my best options are and what everyone else uses?

Pressure washer!! I had thick sludge last year when i got the new to me boat and now you could eat off it it's so clean.

I'm not sure if they will fit in tracks but the measurements are 3" wide base and 3/8" thick. 9-3/8" overall length. Bolt holes are 5/8" on center from the edge of the base.

Aluminum Triple Rod holders

I think these were made in Rochester. They are in perfect shape. 9-1/2 overall length. Fresh coat of metallic black paint.

$120 for the pair shipped.

Catfish Creek or Mikes.

Why launch everyday when you can just get up and jump in the boat.

my bad, a quick glance made me think there were 8 of them.

what are the colors of the ones not shown?

I'm at 25' and really not looking to do a beach landing in the dark so that info helps my decision.

Thanks!

Been doing Catfish Creek for the last 5 years or so around Labor Day weekend as was thinking of changing it up this year....maybe renting a house on North Sandy Pond or maybe even go back to Fairhaven we we fished a number of years before Catfish. Can Sandy be good around Labor Day? Is the channel well marked? We have always done well fishing out of Catfish but sometimes a change of venue is nice.

WOW very nice job! Did you do everything on the refurb? How many hours do you have into the whole job??

Thanks guys! I really did enjoy doing it and yes I'm meticulous to a fault sometimes.

5.0 230hp that runs smooth as silk. No real major work needed to it other than usual wear items. Nice cruise at 27-28mph and top out at 35mph. If anyone has the old  Bennett single joystick style trim tab button the one they sell to allow you independent tab control is a must have for short money.

Looks as though you did a real nice job on it. I love the diamond plate trim   That is a pretty substantial trolling motor you have there too....

lol...the 30hp chain saw is long gone and a honda bf8 has taken it's place

Got lucky and sold my Trophy in the dead of winter for top $$ and from there it was an all-out search for a new vessel the day it pulled out of the driveway. The Trophy treated me very, very well and I have no complaints but I really wanted to do a restore on a bigger, roomier hardtop for the Lady O!

Was able to buy this boat from a fellow member back in April and have been working on it ever since. Boat was/is solid but needed a new backboard, carpet removal and lots of cleaning/wet sanding. Numerous upgrades throughout including; new trailer, total re-wire, 3 bank batteries, dash panel, gauges, switches, wash-down system, bilge pumps, Bluetooth radio and tablet, led lights, usb charging station, spotlights, teak re-finish, custom passenger seat/tackle center, driver seat/cooler storage, Honda 8hp, alternator, riser gaskets, flappers and other minor engine preventive maintenance needs…. a little bit of diamond plate too just cause I love the looks of it.

Been out 4 times locally and FishBones is very smooth, stable, roomy, comfy and pretty damm quick if she needs to be (now propped correctly) The big test will be up at Catfish Creek this week 8/24-8/29.  I’m excited and satisfied with how it all turned out and a bit anxious to get her back to her home lake all dolled up in her new outfit. Hope the Lady O is kind to her

Give a shout if you see us, if i don't answer back that means I'm busy netting the LOC winner

I have two Otter boats for sale that are in excellent condition (single keel)

I can get pics if needed but you know what they look like

I'll be in Catfish Creek 8/24-8-29. Would prefer pick up only, can meet somewhere if need be.
