What a great fathers day gift.

Hi Tom,
Where in Minnesota do you live? If you're close we can try to get together sometime.

Yeah, I was wondering about Marty's penny's per gallon statement. It is a crime that ford, Chevy, and dodge can sell trucks that get 65 miles per gallon in other countries yet not sell the same ones here. Facts like this just reinforces my personal change in the definitions of what a criminal, crimi...

I delivered my Alumacraft to the new owner yesterday. I am going to miss it but the Ranger is already feeling pretty good. I have the boat ready for Erie, rods, reels, and lures all ready to be packed. This week I cook and finalize the menu.

It's been a pretty busy week but I couldn't be happier.

This is just too easy.

Jim,
I'm curious what your alternative would be. Keep in mind big motors need bigger handles for leverage. Was there a short handle option?

So how's break in going? We had a schedule issue on Friday so we couldn't finish. Monday or Tuesday is the day for me.

Mine will be finished tomorrow too! We should turn the power on all the electronics, trouble shoot, and break in tomorrow - I hope. That's great I hope your boat is everything you hoped for cause I know you spent a lot of time just waiting for them to decide to build them. Remember to read the manua...

Been a bit since you wrote about whats going on Jim, where are things at?

Now I am not making fun of this guy, REALLY I was on http://www.walleyecentral.com the other day and Willem asked some questions on my boat. I answered as best I could and I noticed he had a link to his website. Please note that this is a guy from Holland. The fish pictures are quite impressive. How...

I have had a 60hp Yamaha for the past 5 years, mike has had a 50hp Yamaha for 6 and neither of us have ever had any problems. I suppose all companies have their stories - I'd never buy a Mercury. I've heard some questionable things about Etec.

Personally Yamaha or Honda are my choices.

You know an 2011 may have been a better deal just because it was available sooner. the problem is the full disclosure issue. I am sure I would have been alright knowing that my Eagle trailer was new but 2 years old, but no one said anything. If I had know about the age I could have avoided so many i...

I need to vent.... Dropped off boat over 3 weeks ago for a new 60hp Evinrude. Was told they have plenty in stock at the warehouse, no problem. Called a week later, they said they have the motor but were in the middle of a big project, may need another week. Called back a few days later, and was inf...
