That's right. I look forward to this weekend every year. It's the season opener for walleye. (and...it's a long weekend up here) Every year basically since I was born, we've been going up to the same place to camp all weekend and fish. We've got american friends that come up every year...

Got it mounted! Marked and drilled 2 holes the right diameter for the mounting screws. Then applied a marine silicone to each screw before fastening the transducer to the hull. Got the cables and such routed neatly and the graph mounted to the steering console. Everything seems to work...

My kids are already bugging me to inflate our tube so they can go for a spin around the lake. Problem is that the ice finally let go just yesterday so it'd be a tad bit cold for them right now.

I just bought a new fish finder for my boat. I had a fish finder on my last boat but it was already installed when I bought the boat. This one didn't have one when I bought it. How are fish finder transducers normally fastened/attached to the hull? I'm guessing I have to drill a couple holes...

Thankfully, my 4 stroke 40hp yamaha is very good on fuel. Last summer, I'd spend around $20 per weekend on fuel for it. Price of fuel when I filled up the other day was 1.26 per litre. What's the conversion on that for U.S. gallons?

Finally got the boat hauled out of it's winter storage area yesterday. Getting the itch to take her out on the lake. I'd like to try this weekend but the lakes around here are just starting to open up. Another week or so and I'll have her in the water.

That would be a lake. It's 14 miles long from end to end with lots of bays and islands. Nice lake.

Yep! Got an excellent campsite with our own beach. It's a small campground that's part of the snowmobile club I belong to. We've got a clubhouse there overlooking the lake and a large garage on the other side of the road to house the groomers. Only pay $450 a summer for an electrical site. It's...

I should have my boat in the water in a few weeks. Still lots of ice on the lakes but its starting to open up in spots.........usually takes about a week or so to open completely once it starts. The snow's going pretty fast too. Another few days and I'll be able to haul my boat out from it's...

I agree..........it's maily inteneded for the larger waterways where you've got over 100 boats zippin around on the lake and everybody and their dog has a sea-doo. I got my license for it last year. Basically read a book, then did a test. Allot of the stuff in the book doesn't even apply to...

Oh.......that kind of ski-ing. We've still got 2-3 ft of snow up here with roughly 2 ft of ice on the lakes.

yup! getting anxious.....:beer:

Thanks alot Doc! It's your fault that with FF, I now spend my summers out in the boat daydreaming about snowcatting. Now that you've created this forum, I can now spend my winter months out there snowcatting and daydreaming of boating. Kinda backwards I know but I feel more balanced now...

I picked 10-20. Got about 30 ft from shore, yelled OH $H-T! Then gave up!

My bro and I have our campers side by side during the summer. We share the beach right in front of our campers. My bro has 5 kids and we've got 2. They range in age from 4(my youngest) to 12(his oldest) The kids all love the tube. We're also starting a few of them on the kneeboard...

We do the tubing thing quite a bit in the summer. My brother has a tube and kneeboard that they use. I just bought a new tube at the end of the season last year and haven't even had it inflated yet. With young kids, it seems the tubes are the most enjoyable though a couple of my brother's...

Has anyone ever had an issue like this with a brand new boat? When I first got my new princecraft starfish DLX last summer, I couldn't figure out where all the water was coming from. I thought at first it may be coming in from around the fittings for the live-well, then I thought it may be the...
