Speaking of Sandy Creek, does anyone know of any other transient docking options for the Shootout? East Fork is full and I am not getting a reply to my message from Sleepy Hollow. I would be more than happy to pay a private owner for a couple days of dockage. I already have my vacation days reserved and I would hate to miss out this year. Thanks Jack

Keel sinkers x2.

I have a 96 240 hard top I bought 3 years ago. It was considered in good to very good condition. The transom was just replaced. 8hp kicker, with electronics, rocket launchers, trim tabs etc but only a 4.3 and it was surveyed at $16,500.00 by a local Rochester surveyor. I'm thinking a compression test on the engines would tell a lot about their condition.

The company I work for does contract work at that plant. There's nothing like working in or near the "cake off" building on a summer day. Rather be working in the morgue coolers.

Looks like Shipbuilders Creek.

Thanks to both you guys. Sounds about like I expected/hoped. Now I have something to do this weekend. Four weeks to splash!

Rotten Doghouse Repair The engine doghouse on my Thompson is completely rotted. I can push a metal rod down through the full length of the plywood like it is butter. Aside from just hogging out the rotten plywood and fitting another piece of plywood to be pushed down inside the fiberglass shell, is there anything I should know regarding adhesives, epoxies, sealants etc? What is the most effective way to repair? Thanks.

Opinions on Penn Warfare Reels Has anyone tried the Penn Warfares out? I don't know how long these have been around, the first I heard of them was recently. Just looking for opinions from anyone who has used them. Thanks

Three of us were fishing I-Bay about 7 or 8 years ago and one of us went through three times on the way back to shore. The third time we thought it was all over for our friend. We took a different route back to shore than we went out on without really thinking about it. Walked our way right into some bad ice. It was like walking through a mine field. At one point I felt one of my feet start to go through and did a quick high step just in time. Just by luck we had brought two ice augers and were able to use both of them to make a two man, two auger chain on the second and third times. I haven't gone ice fishing since.

After the dock. maintenance, repairs, gas, tackle, storage, insurance and beer, that's what I pay a pound for salmon.

Maybe Pugsley's on 104 in Ontario or possibly the place on Empire Blvd across from South Point. I think it may actually be part of or associated with South Point Marina.

I believe anything that sinks must have single hooks. J-plugs and flatfish will work. Fish will start running anytime now if they haven't already started. Even if you don't have any luck, the river gorge is a great place to spend a sunny fall day.

She is still running great and catching fish Rich. I added some LED lighting and a solar battery charging system this spring. I also removed the sponsor decals from the hull, too many people wanting to fish near me because I looked like I knew what I was doing.

Don, I'm not sure where Ransomville is but I am still in the water until at least early October in Irondequoit Bay if you want to take a quick ride some night and get a feel for it yourself.

Don, I have a 96 24' Fisherman HT with the 4.3l V6 and it does fine. It also has Bennett trim tabs which help a great deal getting up on plane but she will cruise 23mph at 4100 rpm with 5 guys in the boat. With two or three people she jumps out of the water pretty good, 4 or 5 and you have to work the trim tabs a little. I keep the engine tuned and maintained and it pays me back with excellent reliability. (I probably just hexed myself.) She will push 30mph if you want to run WOT but I never do. It was quite an adjustment going from an aluminum with an outboard but once I got used to it I loved it. Great on fuel too.

OK Thanks.

Are those all 28s or are some D4s? I am interested in D4s if some are.
