    Black Book Equavalent For Used Boat Values

    Back in 2001 I invested in a fishing boat. I figured that living on a waterfront property year round, it was a logical decision. However, it's been over 6 years since I got it and the outboard motor for it probably has less than 25 hours total usage. In fact, last summer I used the boat only...

    What's Your Worse Fishing Trip Ever ?

    This happened to me back in 1997 during the July long weekend. My buddy and I had plans to go to the Huntsville, Ontario area for some pike fishing on Doe Lake. We headed up a Friday night. As usual, my buddy brings along a whole bunch of junk food. This time it was a huge bag of egg-cheese...

    My Home Lake Is Dying

    Back in 2000, I moved into a water-front home in southern Ontario. Thousands of carp have died over the past few weeks creating an unbelievable stench. Based on the bloated and hemorrhenging carcasses, many people believe that the hemorrhagic septicemia virus is respondsible. To make things...

    Thou Shall Not Envy

    Holy crapola:<br /><br /> reading all your posts on "SOFT Water" fishing really makes me long for the summer. The lake I live on still has over 18 inches of ice. To pour vinegar on an already painful paper cut, I just spent the last couple of hours snowblowing my 200 foot long driveway so I...

    Zebra Mussels, Walleye and A Shallow Lake

    I live on a waterfront home on a very shallow lake in southern Ontario. Average depth of about 6 to 8 ft with the deepest spot of about 23 to 27 ft. Those zebra critters appeared in the lake 4 yrs ago and now they're everywhere. Consequently, the normally murky water is really starting to...

    President Bush and Baby Largemouth Bass

    Anyone catch that segment of "Fishing With Roland Martin" where they're fishing on President Bush's private pond. The president hooks up a little baby large mouth probably not more than 1/2 a pound. He reels it in and unhooks it. I'm expecting him to toss it back into the water, but instead...

    Is This a Remote Shifter Kit?

    Contacted a couple of authorized Merc dealers to see if this kit was for installing a remote shifter connection, but they had no clue. Does anyone recognize the image in the attached link?<br />All it says is "Remote Control Attaching Kit".<br /><br />...

    Do it Yourself Side Console

    Anyone ever build their own boat console? I'm in the process of converting my 14'aluminum and 2001 30hp merc with electric start from tiller to steering. I know that outboards with electric start are originally intended for steering and mercury should make steering, throttle and shift...
