ttt this motor is still in great condition. i'll lower the price to 2250.00 to help offset the trip to pick it up. i know it's a long drive but your getting a 6000.00 motor foe 2250.00.

it's only common sense to be seen by other hunters. deer don't see hunter orange they see movement. i.ve had deer walk under my stand while wearing hunter orange. i would wear it even if it wasn't required here in Indiana.

i'm with you on the rub down unless it's the boat, LOL. i would take the money and the pendant and just maybe shake hands with Greg.

i'll pay for gas both ways.

back when i salmon fished we ran 8 lines off 4 riggers fishing lake Michigan during the summer. now the spring Coho fishing in the southern part of the lake called for different tactics. i still ran 8 lines 2 off outriggers, 2 out to the side, 2 off the corners, those were run with small cranks. then we ran 2 riggers set down about 20' with large broken back cranks for stray kings. kings are so much more fun. and we caught our fair of them off the riggers. we didn't have counters on our old 209 reels.

we was out of geneva ohio when this happened. i'll never take it for granted again. i am usually more observant of other boats. but he was on my left and we got busy landing fish and getting lines out.. i just took it for granted he would adjust his course. but i know some boats don't know the rules or just don't care, so i knew better.

i sent you a message about a great buy on 2 manual cannon with extendable booms, swivel bases, and 12# weights for 400.00 or best offer. the weights are 100.00 the swivel bases are another 100.00 that may or may not be as good as these. now go get them.

i will split the gas to come get it.

we was fishing Erie for walleye and he was in the 30' class and i was in a 21' glass boat. he had more than enough time to make a miner adjustment in his course to have cleared me. but he had his auto pilot set and to he** with anyone who got in his way. in my opinion nobody was watching for other boats as he was just as surprised at the close encounter as we were.

i have to agree with fisherman21 on this. i would have been very peeved at the time but cool heads prevail. a friendship is really hard to find. call the guy up and ask him when is he taking you fishing., being good friends has a lot to do with jokes and having stuff told on you to others that you would rather no on hear about. i had this good friend since we were just kids. well he liked telling things about me at our guy night at our family reunion. so one night i tell the story about him screaming over a little 20" water dog wrapping around his are and barking at him. he was flayling his arm as hard as he could and screaming bloody murder untill it came loose. about a minute later we heard it hit the water. but it all started because i wanted him to save the jig and not cut the line like he wanted. but i told this on him and embellished on the screaming and arm shaking. that was to last year he told on me and the last time i told the story on him.

i have it on my boat and my dil almost quit going with us because she was our driver. but after the auto pilot was installed she said it gave her something to do. but now she felt kinda useless with nothing to do. well it worked out great because it was getting hard for me to set lines. so i started teaching her how to set lines. and it was no time until i was able to retire after setting lines for about 45 yrs. it felt so good to just do nothing but reel in my fish when it was my turn. but even with auto pilot people should watch where they are going and keep a close eye on other boats. last year we were trolling along and i see this big charter boat coming in our direction on the left side. which gave me the right of way as he was on my left. well some time later as he got closer he hadn't changed his course yet. well we got busy with fish and i look up and about 25' from us was this charter boat. i make a hard left turn and clear his boat but wanted to get out farther to clear his lines. about that time he starts yelling at us. so i yell back that he was the one that screwed up. i said we had the right of way because he was on my left. he piped down then. about that time we seen his board line right in front of us. it was to late to miss it. the other boat kept trolling but we had shut down and was clearing lines. but his line hung on the bottom of our boat and as the other boat kept moving forward his board hung up on our bottom. but my son got his board loose and let it go. as the boat kept going leaving us alone we noticed the boat was filling with water very fast. at first i thought his board had knocked a hole in the bottom. but then i thought his line had gotten tangled in our plug and with the forward motion of his boat had just pulled the plug out. and the boat was filling up with water. ( and we all drowned). just kidding. i always carry an extra plug or two in the boat. my son jumped in the water and i gave him a plug' but he was having trouble getting the plug to stay in. the water pressure in the boat kept pushing it out. i gave him the other plug and it stayed in. with the pump running and us dipping we got the water below the floor. but now the pump was failing. it would pump for a short time then stopped for a while. we lifted the cover off the floor compartment and started dipping out until we got the water level down to the bottom. we fired up and when we took off all the water rushed to the back and the water rose above the floor scaring the heck out of my crew. i kept telling them it was water in the bow going to the back but nobody believed me. we made it in. when i got home i had the pump replaced with a larger pump. then i got a huge extra pump and had it installed as a back up pump. then i crashed the boat top into the overhead door and busted the side glass and frame. the adjuster just totaled the boat. dang i should become a writer as i've just done a book.
