  1. THANKS GUYS!

    Awesome. You in the keys?

    Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

     

    Yes, Sold my LO Charter business last year and moved down here. (Marathon)

    Nice work Carl. You been getting after any lobster? Flounder are on fire up by me. Can't wait to get back.

    Got a few on the one time we went for them. You gotta get down here!

     

    Very nice work. What brand hull is that?

    It is a McKee Craft

  2. Here is my 2 cents......  It all depends on what you are buying and price here is my advice:

     

    If you are spending 60-100% of value of the boat new.....must survey

    30%-60% of value of the boat new..... survey so you know exactly what is wrong/right with it

    <30% of value of the boat new.....dont waste your money on a survey and plan to get what you pay for....that is not necessarily a bad thing as you could get years of service out of the boat.  If you are not a DIYer you will not want this level of boat and plan on spending $5-15K on engines at some point.  DO NOT borrow money to buy this level boat.

     

    The best boat always is the one you paid cash for!!!!

  3. Use those Blue Sea guidelines....sounds like you could use a couple of ACR's the short easy way would be to tie the ACR and house (3 rd) battery to one of your starters.  The best way is to tie it to both which will require 2 relays.

  4. Hahaha, no, while in his store and buying something.  We used to always BS in the mornings and afternoons.  Didn't matter for me, as I always got gas from him anyways, and was always topping off, even when I probably didn't have to.LOL

     

    If it is calm I would run all the way out to the 31 line at about 4:30 a.m., and set up in 600 plus feet of water.  A wise old retired charter captain, that used to run one of the "Oaks" marinas, told me "there are always good fish out at the 31 line, if you can get out there."  Said he would always head there with his clients first thing in the morning, and be back with his happy clients and their limit of big steelhead and salmon just as everyone else was heading out onto the lake.  I will have to say, I have never done badly way out there 12 to 13 miles off shore.  I guess it all depends on the weather, how big your boat is, and how much gas you are willing to burn.  Good luck, and let us know how you do.   :yes:  :yes:   

     

    Always thought the same thing about the first mile of the Lake....like that old captain,,,,as time goes by we forget the days the rods did not pop and remember the 4 man limits in an hour!!!  Truth is both were rare, but either zone is productive most of the time.  I just always felt foolish running 15 miles when I could fill the box in 60 fow.

  5. I just redid a few floors with a product from Home Depot.  It is PVC.  Roughed up the surface with 80 grit and used Total Boat epoxy.  Laid several layers of glass on the skin, adhered the PVC to it.

     

    For the floor surface, I prefer a product called "Tred Tex", I apply it to wet paint by blowing it out of my hand with compressed air.  

     

    I have used used the floor paint with the rubber in it.  I did not like it, I had it in my small boat and the rubber pieces would pull out of the paint, get in the bilge, not a great product.
