    Sitting in the Boat dreaming about Summer

    New boat on order. Medium boat is at North Country getting a new 4 stroke hung. 90% of tackle is in my house getting new plano boxes and rearranging. Rods are starting to make their way in the house too... I hate winter. When the small boat is ready I'm gonna drag it somewhere that has open...

    UTV mapping/sonar for ice fishing

    Agreed. I am still running on old Elite 7 HDI for mapping. Suction cup mount for windshield with cigarette lighter power cord. Still Vex or Livescope for the actual fishing.

    tracks - just for the ice/snow?

    Although I don't have a sxs, or tracks I have done a pile of research. Usually tracks add to the overall height of a rig. Also, from what I have researched, tracks can be a 365 day/year item. However, gravel will decrease the life of bogey wheels considerably as will the more "uneven terrain"...

    Garmin Panoptix- Is it the real deal?

    No YouTube for me. I do have a go pro; but have never used it. The 93sv is tight with the LS module and 2 dakota lithiums in the large garmin bag. It is also fairly heavy. I did leave the standard ice ducer hooked up and accessable. If anyone is on Facebook a guy named Mat Rowan out of WI...

    Garmin Panoptix- Is it the real deal?

    The Echomap Plus 93sv can still be had for less than $600. Many places just wont advertise it; but a call can get you one for 569-599. I just completed my portable Livescope build last evening. 2 Dakota Lithium in parallel, 93sv, Large Garmin ice bag, and Livescope module. Cant wait to hit...

    Trim Tabs

    Ranger doesn't. Shape of transom does not allow for them to be installed. I have heard they are planning transom changes to allow for them. - - - Updated - - - You are correct. A proper hull should not look like a dolphin running across a calm lake a mid range or WOT. As I stated prior...

    Boat show

    Actually 3geese there is a smaller boat show this weekend in Minot (Thurs-Sat). I believe it is at the fairgrounds. Being much smaller than the KX may lend itself to be easier to spend more time in the boats digging around thoroughly. I also believe admission is free..... North Country...

    Propane outboard motor? What!!!

    I saw a guy at the hyw 2 bridge on Devils last spring with an older, off brand (never heard of before) propane 2 hp motor on his duck boat. I asked a few questions about it. He seemed to like it and said it had been reliable, was not heavy, and he would buy another...he just wished it had a...

    Trim Tabs

    I have owned one. - - - Updated - - - They are best appreciated when quartering waves IMHO. Slower on plane speed, adjusting for the oversized buddy, and quicker on plane times with heavy load among other benefits. I don't think there is really a bad brand out there from my investigation...

    Trim Tabs

    Lenco with the joy stick is a great product. The only issue is the pin in the tab does not have rolled ends and will work its way out. If you have issues the company is great to deal with. This years boat is going to have them. They make a crappy boat manageable (1 mfg puts them on at...
