Even when I wet the bunks it takes quite a bit of throttle to get it off the trailer and to load it. It just seems like I am really gunning it to get off the trailer (3/4 throttle some times). Not that it doesn’t load and unload I am just looking for a little smoother on and off solution with out having to buy a roller trailer.

Thanks again for all the replies. I really appreciate the good information. It sounds as if I might have found a good buy. I was fishing for general information and got way more and even a few PM’s. I think I will have a new boat here soon. From what I can gather both here and other sources, this is a sound engine with a reliable history.
Thanks for the replies.
I have heard nothing bad about these motors. My personal experience with this type of boat is limited. The dealer is very reputable and I believe what he is telling me. the boat is an 18 foot fish and ski type of boat. I do not want to give out too many details because I believe the boat is priced to sell and I am probably going to purchase this boat soon. Family fun will be pulling a tube, skis and just cruising lakes and enjoying the ride.
Again thanks for the opinions.
Credit Union no other way to go in my opinion.
They are member owned and only charge rates and fees to keep the doors open and to pay staff. Banks operate to make a profit. Very different strategies.
A real life example for you to see.
After My wife and I got married we opened up joint accounts with a big bank in Cedar Rapids where we lived. I wanted to buy a truck. I was looking at a used truck less than $18,000. We had great credit and we both had full time jobs. She is an executive for a major company in our city. I work in the school district. Both of us have college degrees etc…
I have borrowed money since I was 16 years old for various expenses and have never been turned down for a loan by a credit union. We were not approved for a loan at the new bank. They said we were too new of customers and did not have enough accounts with their bank to qualify us for a loan. We had checking, savings, debit and credit cards. The last time I will ever us a bank for any business. We went to a credit union and opened up new accounts with the minimal amount in each account and was apporved for a loan before we left the credit union that day. By the way my wife now sits on the board of the Credit union we started to use. We have since put our mortgage and several vehicle loans through them. It has been 10 years now and I will never look at a bank again.
Social media is golden.
My wife works for a news station and they have created a brand new digital and social media department. usually a station has news (anchors, reporters) sports and weather. They now have a digital first department and it is rolling. Plus the revenue that is rolling in is crazy mad. It is the future and people will get most if not all of their information through social media and digital based sites. The information is instant and not 3, 4 or 5 hours old because that is the only times the news is being aired.
I have gone through this recently. Our attorney was going to charge us a similar amount that you have quoted. our financial advisor through principal had us do all the documents on legalzoom.com and then print them off. we signed infront of a notary and they are good as gold for about $75 total. we had them checked over by an attorney and they are with all of our life insurance policies and such. It was fairly simple and all the language is easy to understand and once it is signed and notorized it is your legal will.

Another trick …if taking the hose off and reattaching does not work. With the hose attached to the tank, open your valve all the way, turn it closed a 1/8 of a turn or so. Sometimes the two pin holes do not line up and prevents the lp from flowing properly. I have had to do this with my gas grill at times. Sometimes opening the valve on the tank all the way passes the inlet hole on the hose thus shutting the flow off completely or enough that the appliance will not operate.
I was in the process of getting one for my wife. We have a few police officer friends and they suggested no on pepper spray or tazers. The way it was explained to us was the perp is prepared for a battle and will be expecting something to happen to them. The victim usually is not prepared for the spray. The victim almost always gets blasted as well becasue the chemicals transfer during the tussle. The victim then most times becomes incapacitated as a result of the defense they used. We were also told not to buy a handheld tazer becasue the tazer can be taken and used on them. The key idea was mentioned as well as a small compressed air horn. My wife carries a very loud whistle and a small compressed air horn with her. The whistle attaches to the key ring and I am not sure where she keeps the air horn. I guarantee if either of these are blasted close to a person they will drop you. The horn might just blow your ear drums completely out if the perp gets close enough.
My earliest memories of fishing in a “shack” were the ones built right one the ice with scraps of lumber. The shack usually stayed in the same spot for the whole season or moved very little from its original spot. Then when ice out was approaching we would make one last fishing trip to the “shack” and before we would leave, the thing would be set on fire and burned to the ice. That was legal to do and that was what most guys did. The shacks were suitable for fishing but not suitable for moving around.
1/16 oz cicadas work wonders as well.
With very small jigs and very light line I use a needle threader to assist. they are very cheap and can be found in the sewing section at Walmart. I have also been using the 100% nylon thread from the sewing department on my panfish rods. 300 yards for a buck or two. It acts and fishes just like 2 Lb mono. Make sure you use backing before spooling with the thread. I even use the black stuff. They both work fine and I have experienced no problems that I wouldn’t experience with other light mono fishing line.
New idea.
After reading the other post about the reciever hitch I brain stormed another idea. Maybe buy a male end reciever hitch with the flat surface and a hole already in it for a pin. Weld or bolt a ball hitch latch to the square part that would normally slide into the reciever. Same idea as I mentioned before but less fabrication because now all you have to do is weld or bolt the two pieces together.
Could a guy take a ball hitch receiver and bolt or weld that to that a piece of square tubing. Make sure the tubing is long enough to attach your otter hitch. Drill a hole for the pin or what ever is needed for the Otter hitch to work. Then you would have no permanent modification but rather an adaptor to use with your otter. I have not done any of this and only thought of this after seeing your situation.
It will depend on what type of gopher. If it is a pocket gopher it will have big mounds of dirt in the yard. They can be trapped with a gopher trap. Dig up one of the mounds and place trap in the tunnel. then cover the hole you dug with a pice of board so no light gets back in the tunnel. check trap daily to see what you have caught.
If it is a striped gopher that digs a bunch of holes, leading to long tunnels, they are trickier to trap. You could poison with poison peanuts or other “baits”, you could also watch for him to appear then chase him down a hole. Fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and drown him out. Place a net with small holes over tunnel before pouring water down the hole. Then dispose of any way you want after the gopher is caught in the net.
The only bear I have encountered in the wild were the ones running from the chained up boats while in canada. I am no expert but a guide told me some people buy whistles, compressed air fog horns, pepper spray etc. Sometimes they work and sometimes they do not. He said the only sure way to deter a mad charging bear was with a big gun. Right after that he asked me if I knew how to tell the size of a bear by its poop? I said “no”. He then explained big bear poop smells like pepper spray, will have a whistle or two and pieces of chewed up fog horn cans in it.
I cut the loin into two pieces. For the sake of handling it. I will marinate it in apple or orange juice over night. I then take my spices ( usually what ever is cheap off the shelf)pork rub, butt rub etc.. and mix it half and half with brown sugar. Rub the entire loin down with the mixture. Get your grill screaming hot. I mean as hot as it will get. leave all burners on high and then take the loin pieces and sere it on all edges. Use long grilling tongs to help roll the loin and even stand it on end to sere the ends closed. The rub on the ouside will turn black and appear burned. Make sure you have a good sealing burn on the outside of the loin. Then wrap the loin pieces loosely in foil. I make sure I have plenty of space around the loin so the moisture can help finish cooking the loin. Turn grill down and place foiled loin on top rack for about an hour. Be careful when taking loin off the grill as the juice in the foil makes for an awesome aujus to top your meat with when you serve it. It should almost fall apart and once sliced you can cut it with your fork.
18″ instead of 18′ is from spinal tap. Awesome movie.
I have been in boats with the fins that wrap around the transom and they seem to work.
With horizontal baits I use the double surgens knot. this allows the bait to sit the way it was weighted to sit. That way I don’t have to retie or even worry about how my bait is being presented to the fish. All good tips. I use nothing bigger than a size 10 jig and often times find myself using a size 12. Put a slight bend in the hook shank so the hook tip is at a 45 degree angle from the jig head. I also bend the hook slightly to one side so the hook tip and the head of the jig do not line directly up.
About the screws loosing themselves up. I put the white thread tape on my blade screws and my auger shaft screw. I have not had any problems yet either losing blades or auger being loose.

Same plug will work. Most people carry a plug kit with them so if they run over something they can plug the hole and add the canned fix a flat to get back to the truck. Also a bead leak can be fixed by over inflating the tire then letting air out until you get to the desired pressure. Soemtimes with the low pressure the bead doesn’t seal up right and slowly leaks from the start.
I wonder if you had an aluminum box made to fit your demensions then you could line that with a heavy plastic liner. Something like the liner material people use for back yard ponds. Just an idea. I have no idea what fabrication of such a box would be or the cost of the heavy liner material. If the aluminum box was water tight you might not need any type of liner.
Those do not exist. Anyone who can run, jump or swim at the level of special forces is already in the U.S.

If the auger was running and you pushed the button in, wouldn’t it just pop right back out? I use it to start but never turning off.
I have used this site and had good results. Quick service and they actually refund the over charge for shipping. They only charge exactly what shipping cost. I ordered one day and had the product two days later at my door step. the 1/80th jig heads are the same size as a #10 ratso head.
