Best brand / value deep V aluminum boat?
tedc54 replied to Bluefin54's topic in Open Lake Discussion
I fished in a 22 foot Crestliner Authority on Oneida in mid October. I loved it. I have an 18 foot Skeeter MX multi species. If I were going to upsize, I would take a very serious look at the Authority. I had a 16 foot Alumacraft Dominator. Good boat. Wanted fiberglass, they each have their advantages. If I upgrade, (which I probably will) it is going to be aluminum. -

Try Northland Marine in Wisconsin. They are very knowledgeable and dependable. I have been waiting for a similar unit and they called me last week to tell me they had mine in. 715.546.2333 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -
Henderson Harbor fishing
tedc54 replied to MRBIG's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Have spent a lot of time up that way the last 5 years. I second the suggestion on Chaumont/Guffins. Enjoy. -
The navigation bar does not even appear on my menu. I went through trouble shooting with Humminbird, they said it is either the unit or the antennae. I am relatively certain is the unit, as before the graph capabilities disappeared, I lost side imaging. The next day side imaging re-appeared and navigation disappeared. The 2 are not related, so Humminbird is pretty sure it is the unit as well. Before I replace, I would like to know for sure. They said only way to do this would be to plug it into another system that has a working antennae. Anyone have any other suggestions? I did disconnect the unit and reconnected the unit to make sure the connections weren't loose, restored the unit to its original settings and made sure the updates to the software are current. I also called the dealership where I bought the boat to see if they had anything there that I could use to test my unit. They did not. I really don't want to replace this unit. Thanks.

My friend suggested wiring my kicker to the trolling motor batteries in my 18 foot fiberglass multi species boat. It works well. Get up to 1.8 or so with my kicker. Set my Minnkota Terrova at 4 (out of 10) on the remote and I am at about 2.2 or so. Put in on autopilot or “follow the contour” and I am pretty much good to go in medium to calm water. My trolling motor batteries stay fully charged. Haven’t fished all day so I can’t say I can fish all day like that but I think it is a possibility. Anything bumpier than that it gets a little touchy, but if it does I head inshore and fish for bass/walleyes/pike anyway. Or take a nap and relax.

Wanted Info. on auto pilot for alumkinum boat
tedc54 replied to huntcaribou's topic in This Old Boat
If you have the Minnkota I pilot link you can also use the follow the contour feature to keep the boat tracking at the exact depth you want. I get my kicker up to 1.8ish then run my Terrova on 4. Have my kicker on my trolling motor batteries so it charges them while running. Works well. No problems. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -

Thanks for the pics. They are about a bit since I came home Wednesday. -
Was there yesterday looking to get out and both launches were too high for me to launch solo. The Henderson launch was all but in the parking lot. The Stony launch was less than a foot from the top of the wall. Headed back up Saturday for six days but fearful levels are going to get higher as predicted. Any thoughts, more recent reports or forecasts posted to this link would be appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
