Thanks fella's. I would have had a bigtime mess setting up. Always better to ask..

Gotta love the young computer jackass's. No matter what your on you will find one

Fishing fool34 I am a prime example of your comment about having best electronics and not being able to catch fish on most days. [emoji1][emoji1][emoji1] I still have a lot to learn. Once in a while I get lucky!

There is a man in Dunkirk NY that is authorized repair and warranty repair for Cannon and a few other companies. He upgraded my 30 plus year old mag 10 A's and they are great. Scary fast on upward retrieve. Even the swivel bases lasted that long. I do not charter but I fish alot

Ditto on the Magnum Metalz. Built to last. No plastic.

Also with big boards run your deepest running line on inside toward boat and lighter as they get closer to the board. I run inline weights and leadcore like that and you can decide to change a lure,snap it from tow line and let it pull back. I have prince MasterCraft superski boards and they are incredible. Sometimes I run a dipsey on the very inside

I've been running a set of homemade big boards for a long time, and would absolutely never switch back to inline boards. I have a 19' sylvan navigator, 4' mast on the bow, and currently use dacron line. I'm going to replace it with spectra soon though. I usually use 3 rods per side. The order that you set these up in is very important. The first rod out on each side will be your longest lines and shallower diving. I start them around 220' back. The next will be 15' shorter, so 205 back, then 190, etc. The longest line goes in the front rod holder. I spool the whole reel in mono, no braid at all, for dedicated board rods. Clip the mono directly into an Offshore release, and send it down the line until it's a couple feet from the board. Deploy the next line from the back of the boat, go UNDER the first rod, clip it on to the tow line, go back under the first rod, and put it in the 2nd rod holder. Let it out a little over halfway down the line. Repeat this for the 3rd rod. When you hook a fish, it'll either pop the line out of the release by itself, or you'll have to do it. Either way, pick the rod straight up, keep tension on it, and let that fish swing back to the center. Once it clears the inside line, then you can start reeling. The 15' spacing, plus the distance between the releases, combined with the deeper divers being on the inside gives you plenty of room to get the fish centered up. I start them at 220' back so if you get a fish on the outside rod, the other two simply get slid down closer to the board, then you set the one that just got a fish as your inside rod 15' shorter than the last. Once you get to where you're setting them under 100' back, reel that side in and restart around 220. 

Do you know if a transom mount transducer is available and if the unit will run the Evo series autopilot

Had this unit for 2 seasons on my boat. Works as designed. No longer run raymarine (switched to garmin with panoptix). Transducer is brand new and unit is in great condition. Power cord and mount included. 950 obo. Call me or text 8452345024

I must be the only one who is not satisfied with the cutco knife. Biggest disappointment ever. Haven't sent it back but going to. Must be a Monday or Friday knife. Drove by the place in Olean not too long ago. A business in a building that impressive should know what they are doing. I have friends who have cutco kitchen knives and love them. Guess I best get moving and send it in

I have a Randall fillet knife I have had for 30 years plus. Holds an edge better than any knife I have owned. Cuts right through the ribs no problem. 

Is that the g2 n or g3 n

Helix 10 DI GPS   like new still has plastic on screen.New transducer. Sold boat 750.00 315 466 9197

I have a small trolling plate that may work for you

I may just re prop, but been doing a lot of walleye trips and the 15hp has been a bit much to dial it down to under 2, especially if I'm trolling with the wind.
 
I'm not looking to sell it, unless I found one I'm interested in.
 
It's a 1999 Honda 4 stroke, long shaft, electric start, BAAL. Runs like a top and starts easy. Prop/lower/etc all in great shape. There is no tiller handle but I do have a separate control box with cables ( I just have it hooked to troll master ).
 
I'm looking for a 9.9 or 8hp similar in age, no older. Potentially I can come up with a few bucks if it's newer but I 100% want to stick with a Honda. Don't care about elec start. Has to be long shaft. Let me know if there's any interest out there.

Sorry that you are having to deal with this.  Sounds like a real short-sighted dirt bag.  I would post this on every forum, Facebook, etc.  As noted above, you would save a lot of people the agony of having to deal with this guy and cut off his business at the same time.       

Beautiful job. Brings back memories of my first boat. Well worth the work. Congrats

Over the past few days I was able to get the boat done. I'm happy with how it turned out. If it doesn't rain next weekend, I'll get the first hours of the season on her. 

My thought was there must be a lot more guys needing a boat like that closer to the lakes but you can't bring your new boat and that one

And the tires are a year old with less than 1800 miles on them.

Agreed. This is the motor setup I run on my Lund and it's the bomb. I got it at Gander years ago when they were having a half off sale for one day only. I put a notice on LOU to spread the wealth and some googan went and bought out their stock. Then, to add insult to injury, he/she tried to sell it for a profit on here.

These are great motors, ive had one for years with no issues

You and anyone else who needs rod systems absolutely should go to greatlakesplaners.com as they are right in upstate New York.  Others on the LOU recommended them to me.   I bought a pair of triples this winter and really like everything about them.   Well made, fully adjustable, the price was right and shipping free.  I will look to them first for anything I may want to add in the future.
