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.

Anyone interested in a 5.0 block for a rebuild? My old Thompson is getting a new 5.7 this Spring from a dealer with no core charge so I will have a 1988 engine to get rid of. I heard that this size block is getting hard to find with the new emissions control in place and I would rather sell it cheap than just trash it.

Fishing Booker can find a charter almost anywhere, check them out.

I have been seeing large flocks of cormorants in this area and maybe that is where the perch went. All the perch of size 10" plus I caught I had to pull out of heavy weeds. This was the slowest year for perch that I can remember--also the lowest water depth.

Looking for a 24' Thompson hardtop that needs new seats or a repower. Trailer would be good. I will have it surveyed for bad stringers/transom.

OK, thanks. I saw a couple charters out there running boards so I figured they were after browns.

Does anybody know when the salmon start showing up around Stony Point? I steamed down there today from Cape Vincent, trolled the trench and climbed the wall. I marked a few fish but not as many as I thought I might have.

Canon also makes slide releases that mount on the boat rail. They have a push-down lock that keeps the rigger in place and are easy to use.

The year is the last part of the VIN, stamped on the upper right of the transom. Since this is an older boat you might want to spend the money and have it surveyed--stringers and transom are subject to rot.

Geico/Boat US offers insurance for us charter boat captains--and the price is reasonable. You must specify the insurance is for a charter boat. No boat surveys required. You probably already belong to Boat US--if not, you should; it is the AAA on the water.
