Sweet boat. I restored a 93 and love it. Got rid of the carpet on the floor and spayed Raptor liner instead.
Also had too many leaking rivets so had the hull Linex'd and this boat is now bulletproof.
Put a yamaha 115 on it and it's plenty of power for this hull.

Hey Andre quick Navionics question.....don't mean to hijack this post.
Here in Canada the app costs $75 for Ipad. My question is what is the renewal fee after the year is up?

Tried it and only get 1 mile or so. Go hard wire with 8' antenae

Also like the triangular grip on the handle. Helps square off against the big kings.

These reels have super smooth drags. I have a couple on my boat and no problems after 2 seasons.

I've used up to 6 oz snap weights on 10 color core and works great.

I feel a little luckier. We are only getting 8” in Ottawa over the next day.
I was teasing the wife about going to Oswego fishing in the next few weeks. Our first trip together was fishing in Oswego Easter 1988.
Not sure where that 30 years went.
Have to give up on that plan for a little while now.

Can someone recommend a decent place to camp with a spot to slip a 22' boat?

on an inline the pull of the lure/copper/leadcore is directly on the back of the board so you weight it forward to keep it balanced instead of noseing up. on a big board the pull is on the tow line and thus the inside of the board and forward of center this would tend to pull the nose in towards the boat so you weight the back outside edge to counter balance and get the outside board to dig deeper creating more outward force
This is the answer I was hunting for. Makes total sense.

Just now, bout time said:
Move the tow eye back towards the rear of the board more. Also drill some small holes in the bottom of the boards towards the rear and fill them with lead. I used old sinkers. Then epoxy over the lead to seal the holes. This will make the boards sit lower in the water and “bite” more adding them to pull harder and better
Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario UnitedThanks for the advice on the tow eye. I'll try that. Don't need any lead...the composite board is plenty heavy and they sit low enough

yeah they are a compound mitre. I copied the Amish board 100%. My boat is only 18' but I have a 6' mast so the line must be at least 8' up.
I just find that the boards don't pull off to the side like I'd hope and seem to drag behind the boat.

I have a 1993 gls195 repowered with a Yamaha f115 and that's all the power you need.
Had problems with leaky rivets , so had the bottom of the hull Line'x' and now she's bone dry.
Did lose about 2pmh however. Fully loaded with 3 guys and gear I get 32mph
