    Kicker Rigging

    I throw my 2 cents in here on a few things to consider. The port versus starboard side I think depends comes down to if your going with remote controls or a tiller. I know many of the pros that run till kickers run them on the starboard side. It provides a better line of site to the dash graphs...

    Boat price negotiation

    For those hoofing across the border, just remember that in our short open water season when you have an issue and find you have to get in line and wait for your local dealer to service it as they have buying customers boats to take care of first, I don’t want to hear one word of bitching. Not...

    Boat price negotiation

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion. One guy thinks a new boat is a waste and to buy used; while the next says "for what they want for a 1-2 year old unit, I might as well buy new". Buy local is one mans thought while the next is go buy in the next state over to save a buck.......I'm not going...

    shooting fall turkeys from a permanent blind

    How about that, look at that hunting puddle. He even retrieves turkeys, lol. In all seriousness, after three days in the field with my 1 year old Brittney, whom might ad is a fur ball compared to the last one, we'll be taking the scissors after him this week to get all of the briars, cockleburs...

    7 Marine how it is made 627 HP marine engine.

    Yes, and that was a 209TFX with the 400R. Somewhere in the low 70's it apparently would get pretty lose, or so the report was. I know Yar-craft tightened up and tweaked those hulls in 2017. They run pretty solid with the current hp ratings, haven't noticed a hint of looseness in either of 2018...

    New fishing boat Yar Craft

    We’ll probably cannot help you much on the 1785. I am however embarking on my 3rd Yar-Craft and can’t say enough good about their boats. Going from an 1895 storm side counsole, to a Bass Cat Calico (186FSX) and now to a 219TFX, I’ve been pleased and impressed with every one! One thing about...

    Snow Totals

    You guys go ahead a look at the maps, I’ll use my eyes as I actually walked through it on the GFAFB within a few hours after the storm had passed. Put it this way, you didn’t need 4wd to get around other than the fact it was icy, the ditches were were not blown full and canny say I noticed a...

    Snow Totals

    There's no way the GFAFB got 19" of snow. I was in cavalier on wed, in Grand Forks Thursday morning, and out to the AFB that morning also. At most, the base had 6" of snow and I'm being generous with my estimate. Something was obviously wacky with that reporting station. on the flip side you...

    Tires

    I used to be a pretty solid Bridgstone Revo person, still have them on my 3/4 ton and like them in the snow and on icey roads. 30-40k is about all I get out of them on the 3/4 ton. Have had sets go 50-60k on my 1/2 tons. Ended up with BFG A/T KO 2s on my half ton because they were the only 10...

    6.7 cummins delete...

    That certainly could be :confused:. I'm not completely up on the latest and greatest as far as tuners and delete kits go but I know several companies still make turners for the current offerings from all three manufactures.

    That is completely incorrect, there’s lots of programmers out there for the 17 & 18 duramax’s

    What were you doing 17 yrs ago today?

    I was out looking at a job site and doing some survey work with the owner of the company I was working for when he got a phone call about the first plane just hitting the tower. didn't really even register with me right away. Finished up and headed to my college PE elective class of Bowling...

    WTH DirtyMike?

    And the only thing better than a 20 something boat, is a a 21 something boat, lol. My 186 Yar-Craft is also on the market! (Sorry Dirtymike, cheap sales plug). There’s just no replacement for 3+ more feet of length! Well kind of because for every foot the price appears to be exponentially...

    aluminum boats?

    you realize that Alumacraft was recently acquired by BRP? Although by the sounds of it they don’t intend to sole source Evinrudes, Yamaha has already pulled the plug and sounds like Merc will be doing the same for suppling them engines

    4bears tourney

    Hey short, sometimes it's fun to just have fast stuff, doesn't mean you need to be worth a darn at fishing, lol. Kinda like cars, trucks, sleds, bikes, ATVs, jet skis, golf carts, lawnmowers, or really most anything with an engine, lol. Pretty sure, I've never heard anybody say "boy, my boat is...

    4bears tourney

    As a Yar-Craft homer, the performance of their boats always puts a smile on my face! As they say Total Commitment, No Compromise. Maybe that means once over 70 mph you better be committed, lol. On the the flip side talking about the boat race the precedes these tournaments, I guess I've always...

    Yamaha V-Max

    The OX66 is supposed to be pretty solid. So was the the 2.6L 200 HPDI that I had however I must’ve gotten the 1 in 1000 that was a piece of shit, $6k, 3 dealerships, and 6 months later it still wouldn't run right. 6 months out of warranty and Yamaha nor anyone else wanted anything to do with it...
