    Pickup toppers

    Looking for a topper for a 2021 F150 (6.5' box). Had a Leer on my last pickup that I bought used on the cheap. I prefer the look of the frameless side windows. Open to suggestions on make/models and dealers. These things have gotten incredibly expensive! Closer to GF the better. thanks

    Aluminum Trailers

    Looking to make a jump from a 14' single axel steel trailer to a 18' tandem axel aluminum. Wood or aluminum floor? Wood is cheaper, dent resistant and likely not as slippery when wet/snowy. Aluminum floor would last forever in theory but is more expensive. Use would be for hauling a tracked...

    trolling motor speeds

    I have a 112 Ulterra on a 1850 ranger reatta and it doesn't have as much power as I think it should. very light winds, no waves and max was 1.5-1.8 mph. If 1 of the 3 batteries was bad would that be the cause? What should I expect for speed out of this combo with no wind/waves?

    22 pistols

    22's (rifles and pistols) are all I'm interested in these days, mostly because when I want to go out shooting I want to shoot a lot and the relative low price of 22 ammo makes this possible. What's everyone's favorite 22 pistol? I have a buckmark, mark 3, mark 4 lite, and a S&W victory. 2 of the...

    Anybody have experience with this? I have a Tikka T1X coming with just the plain black stock and would like to pretty it up a bit and add a bit of texture.

    Old .22 rifles

    I've been getting more and more interested in older firearms the last few years and love .22's. I have some levers (Browning BL-22, Winchester 9422, Marlin 39A) which are a lot of fun but now I've been researching pump .22's. I recently picked up a Remington 572 Fieldmaster and am looking to...

    Transporting fish/waiting to fillet

    I make a few trips each winter to Lake Winnipeg and I usually only keep fish to bring home on the last day of fishing since I dont have a good place to clean them up there and I also dont want to be hassled at the border. Sure enough, we'll catch nice eaters the whole trip and throw them back...

    electric vs gas pressure washer

    The thread about power washing the sidewalk got me thinking about pressure washers. I have a gas one that I got about 8 years ago, used once and then could never get the piece of shit started again. I suck with small gas engines and am considering an electric for the convenience. Any reviews or...

I'm too cheap to buy a new one when I am not 100% sure it will fix my problem. current stats are 42...

    Linking electronics - Humminbird?

    I know very little about this and am on a pretty tight budget. I have a HB 859ci HD at the helm that does what I need it to. I want to put another similar unit in the bow and link the two so I can share the same lake chip. What would be a good model and what cables would I need? I am very open...

    Snowmobile fuel mileage

    I have lots of experience with four different 97/98 polaris indy trail touring (488cc fan cooled) snowmobiles used for ice fishing and I have a question for the sledheads on here. These sleds are used only for ice fishing and are fantastic cheap, reliable machines but they get horrible fuel...
