    A lot of boaters do NOT know the rules of the road and forcing us to get a boating license will not change how some people pilot their boat.

    That report means small craft warnings. Take heed.

    This is for a friend and I will check with him for a price range.

    Looking for a used center console, 18'-20' with trailer, outboard only.

    That is what happens in the Spring--high, fast water bringing in debris. Also, $10 is a cheap launch fee; I know of a few places near Cape Vincent where it costs $20.

    I have a 1988 Mercruiser engine removed from my boat but I do not know if it runs. The mechanic told me it needs a starter and after purchasing a new 5.7 I am not putting any money into the old engine. It may be an engine that needs a little maintenance or it could be only good for a complete rebuild. This is a complete engine; the block is not cracked and this engine was winterized 2 years ago and the oil is still fresh. It is on a pallet and located at Martin's Marina in Cape Vincent, priced at $500.00.

    I never have unless it is a fish caught while bringing in lines and the clients have a full catch and only if that fish cannot be released unharmed. I was asked about that a few times last season and for some reason, it is only asked if we are having a real good day. I guess the clients are thinking "the more, the merrier" but people that greedy should buy their fish from a store. For most of my clients the catch is just part of the whole experience and many practice catch and release.

    I have chartered in this area since 1997 and used to pick up some trout out around Charity Shoal with very few salmon in the middle of summer. The salmon seem to prefer the area around the wall and south of Main Duck, with both trout and salmon being taken around the south side of the Duck. The rest of the area is home to bass and walleye, with Wolfe Island being good for northern pike. Salmon used to run the river in the fall but I have not seen that in many years.

    I have the same model boat and it does have a lean to port but I lose it when I am on plane and the motor is trimmed up to 3/4.

    I have the same model boat and a 9" Lowrance mounted where you are indicating--no problems with the view and the ram mount allows a lot of adjustments. The cup holder is still usable but not for its main purpose. I put my water bottle in the side holder.

    Bass Pro sells the 900 series.

    The boat survey is a good idea; anyone know of a surveyor near the Cape Vincent area?

    Thank you for the input.

    Any charter captains know where I can get charter insurance for my 1988 Thompson? I cannot locate a company that will insure an older boat. Also, what about random drug testing for charter captains--is that really happening up here or just another governmental way of making money from us??

    Oceansouth makes an air ride pedestal that you should avoid. At $125 the price is cheap and so is the unit. I installed one on my Starcraft Fishmaster and in one month the pedestal was wobbling from side to side. It has a plastic insert into the base and it cannot handle the constant motion from waves 2+', nor can it handle a heavy seat.

    If you are on the river, David Lalone in Hammond does transoms. He does Sea Cast where there is NO wood to rot. 315-323-8056

    Gator, at least you are in the ghetto. Those of use here at the mouth of the river don't even get crumbs.
  20. marinecrafts
    Looks good if you are running a 32' boat.
  21. marinecrafts
    On my second Thompson, great boat BUT check the transom!

    Lakemaster Ontario, A271474. I have one for sale, used 1 season (I changed depthfinder) and will sell for $75.00 with shipping included.

    I have a 2019 Starcraft 196 Fishmaster and it is a DEEP and wide boat that runs good with a Yamaha 150. I will be selling it this Spring only because I charter and am changing to a more standard charter boat--Thompson 240. If I did not charter there is no way I would part with the Starcraft but I really don't need 3 boats (one 16' for waterfowl).

    I have a 2006 Yamaha 8 high thrust with remote controls, Garmin TR Gold Autopilot and mounting bracket. This is off a 240 Thompson I bought last October and am in the process of having the transom done and new power. I DID NOT get to run the kicker but it does try to start. I DID NOT try the autopilot but all parts are available, I simply removed these items from my boat. If you are interested and close to Cape Vincent we can get together and test this equipment. Price is $800.00 unless we find faulty items, then the price drops. I was saving this for a Memorial Day sale with miscellaneous boating and fishing gear but if you are interested let me know. text at 717-376-7595.

    And don't forget our buddies the cormorants. I saw way too many flocks of those around Carlton Island.
