Locations looks to be perfect! Go for it...half the fun of owning a boat is "customizing" it. Makes it even better when you can do it yourself! Have a happy Holiday, and give those fish a break for a day or two!

Jay, I searched the web and came up dry on any manufacturer named "Eagle". You sure that boat wasn't manufactured by Astroglass? They made a boatload of 15 footers in the late 80's that look similar. Are there any manufacturer markings on her? Coast guard warning plate?

Gorgeous! It could be in an advertisement for Skeeter!

Ron, A few years back most of the fish finders were really sensitive to being on the same circuit as a trolling motor, and you'd get significant picture degradation (lines and dots). You may want to try hooking up a unit to see just how much interference you pull with the TM active...it may...

That's a honey hole most folks won't get to...

I am so jealous! Right now I'm looking at four guys ice fishing. Seven inches of ice on our little lake. Just finished winterizing my Stratos yesterday in the garage...had to use the snow blower to clear a spot for her in the backyard. I HATE HARD WATER!

Try one on a Shakeyhead rigged weedless. You'll be amazed at how many bass you'll catch...they're excellent in any size, too, just get a color that matches crawfish in the waters you fish. It's a "go to" bait at any time. Don't get hung up on the particular brand, either. Most soft plastic...

Gentlemen, thanks for the info. I'll stay in touch and let you know when I finalize my plans. Best wishes for the coming Holidays!:D

Happy Thanksgiving all...just wondering if anyone has recently used the Roland Martin Marina RV park in Clewiston, Florida on Lake O. I'm talking myself into spending a week there come this February with my Winnie. Just wondering if the RV campground is OK. I figure drowning a couple of dozen...

Great synopsis...helps me understand why there are still so many Terry, EbbTide and Hydra Sports still floating around. A quick check of Craigslist will almost always turn up a late seventies or early eighties boat for sale, especially in the spring. Always wondered just how popular they were...

I had a similar problem with a 150 Merc, only to find out I had a small hole in the number three cylinder plug boot. So my (limited) advice would be to check all of the spark plug boots and wiring to be certain you're not shorting out. It's amazing that such a small issue can lead to such major...

Awesome catch! I'm thinking this boy isn't a vegan anymore...

What are people doing to these beautiful boats, mating Bobcats in them? That was showroom condition at one time...look at the poor thing now. Brings a tear to my eye. :(

What's wrong with bank fishing?

Kipp, a minor extension to allow a full sized, reclining lounger could make that the PERFECT watercraft!

Get a load of this: Custom Built Weedwacker Trolling Motor - Gas - $99 Craftsman 31cc Weedwacker like new - shortened Mounted to old school metal Minn Kota trolling motor frame - fully adjustable Ready to mount Prop included why bother with the heavy and annoying battery when you can...

AB, I happen to love the older Rangers, so I'd probably go for it. The only issue I personally have with the older Rangers are the seats...I don't really like the way they are upholstered, and sometimes the color combinations are enough to make me gag. When I get a Ranger "project" boat, I'm...

That Shadow would still look sweet with a nice 80lb Autopilot on it, for sure!

Well, I guess I'm a bit weird, but I name everything. First Ranger R83 I had was named "Ramona". After a few years I went aluminum and picked up a G3 HP180, and it was officially known as "Ironman". When I sold that after a few years and moved into a Sea Ark Center Console, that was named "The...

Wow, tough question. I use 8 and 10lb P-Line Floroclear, which is a blend of regular copolymer mono with a fluorocarbon coating. I use the stuff for jerkbaits and crankbaits, and it works really well for those applications with my bait casting gear. It's tough, but very sensitive and holds up...
