You can definitely put it in the lawn mower. A truck is little high value for me to experiment with.

Why a third rigger? I have tried to run 3 and 4 riggers off of a 8 foot beam and unless the conditions were incredible it wasn’t worth the hassle. As I fish more I’m realizing that in most cases more than 6 to 8 rods aren’t catching me anymore fish.

I was looking at a house on the creek, it fell through.

Has anyone used these instead of wet-sanding?

Lowarnce 7TI Elite, being able to use the app so you can have the fishfinder anywhere on the boat is awesome. 

I've gone from running too many on my old 21 to running much less on my 31. What I've found is that running more than 6-8 lines does more damage than good. On a calm day I'll run the 3 riggers 2 dipsy's off each side (one mag, one regular) than a long line down the shoot. If there is a moderate wind or current the middle downrigger gets pulled and two of dispy's. Honestly I find catch ration has very little to do with how many rods are out there. Also if you do catch something and you have a crap load of lines out good luck getting them to the boat. 

Nope but you can by them used, I have one on a 31 Silverton and it does a reasonably good job keeping it in a straight line as long its not super windy. All other solutions were 1000’s of dollars. I think I picked mine up for 600

Any idea of the cost?

I assume the Brockport Yacht club doesn’t take power boats?

Does anyone know how high the Park Way bridge is? Can a fly bridge fit on the south side of the parkway?

If I remember correctly there is also a way to get the codes without buying the software. I think it was through the rpm gauge on the dash.

I think the 1999 225 is fuel injected so rebuilding the carbs are out of the question... I definitely would start by looking at the simple fuel problems (pump, filter) before I bought something else. I ran a 150 for years and it never left me on the lake.

Did you check the simple stuff? Fuel filter? I had 150 hp 2001 that missed and it was the exhaust sensor.

Salt water boat. 30 years old.

You don’t have to worry about rot. Just change the heat exchangers and let her roll. 

I just sold a boat last spring, if you sell the boat loaded it will sell really fast in April. Yes I basically sold $2400 worth of equipment for a addition $1000 for my boat, however it was only on the market for 3 days. The only thing I would think about taking off is the kicker. 7k

Whenever purchasing a boat over 10 years old ask yourself 2 questions:

1. Am I handy?

2. Am I ready (time and money)  for a project?

if both are yes, let it rip. If not don’t. Even older boats in great shape need much more love and care than newer boats.

I have used fiberglass it's not cheap anymore. What kind of epoxy?

The epoxy is usually much more expensive than the fiberglass cloth

Ever think about fiberglass? It’s really pretty easy.

Starting to paint the topside of my 1978 31 SIlverton. I plan on doing the majority of the work during the winter. I'm starting small and am using Total Boat Topside paint. Has anyone used this product before and how were your results? If interested check out the website that I'm playing around with:

Funny they are going to completely block the channel to clear the channel.

Well another year and another trashed outdrive.   Thanks to the dredge boat parked in the middle of the channel.   Only way out is go west of the dredge boat - right where all the crap is.    How the hell can they get away with this? An how can Marinas charge money in an un navigable bay.    Thanks for nothing!

Did you hit something that wasn’t marked?

Where are you located?
