    Looking at that nice boat it appears those fish are worth about $1000/lb.

    Just got back from a week at one of the fingerlakes up here in NY. Burned some gas....

    Even did some fishing...bass, perch, pickerel big blue gill. 424BE479-7484-4420-ABDD-7E80A3B01D83.jpeg

    Of course FHC style had to burn some wood too! 6170187E-A1D2-4ECD-A3E5-52CE05E8255E.jpeg

    Here's my boat behind my new hauler. Both need to be cleaned, but the boat worked great yesterday. 20190608_161536_HDR~2.jpg

    Frame is steel, body is alloy. It's awesome. It gets better mpg than my Audi wagon, ( city, hwy, and combined) and has even more options in it that the Audi had. It tows that 4000 lb boat like it's not even there.

    We had a nice slow ride on the water today, it was a great day for it. Pics 9269 & 70 is one of the areas a microburst went through a few years back.

    How do you like that trolling motor? Is that the one with the 20’ cord and foot control?

    Maybe I mentioned this before, but I’ve got a fish and ski boat and the rod locker is horrible!!! Where/how do you guys keep rods on your rigs when you go out? I’ve always got them propped here and there and tangled.:hair:

    In the rocket launchers back when I was a boat owner... Does your boat have a ski locker, maybe in there?

    It does make a perfect ski wake at over 25 mph, but at slower speeds , ~18-20 mph it has a nice ramp for wakeboarding.

    Here's a great pic I took with my two dogs in it while cruising around up at the cottage.

    I haven't used it in years but I do like it, it does have a cord with foot control but I'm not sure how long it is J. Dirt.
