    Open bow Niagara?

    Hi- some of you will probably cringe at this post, but that is OK. I haven't cut it but I do consider it now and then. I have a 1964 Niagara Deluxe. I would like some input from other MFG-ers about a thought I have had- and dismissed- on-and-off for about 10 years now. The thought? Modifying my...

    fiberglass canoe - strange cracks

    Need to get a picture to post later, but I thought I would ask the question. I have done a fair amount of fiberglassing over the years, so when a friend's boyfriend asked me to repair his fiberglass canoe in trade for another canoe he had at his girlfriends house, I said, "sure." Thing is, the...

    Fishing with Eagle GPS

    I debated posting this in "electronics" but really this is a fisherman's question so I posted it here. I have been planning to buy a new sonar with GPS for some time now, and actually buying the thing is getting close. However, I have a question some fishermen might be able to answer for me. I...

    force trim/tilt issue

    1965?? Edinboro Custom up for grabs

    Just thought I would post this in case anyone is interested- There is an Edinboro Custom for sale on a trailer- owner wants $1500. Says that is a 1974, but the owner's brother (the guy I spoke with) said that was a guess- they had no idea. I would say it was a 64-67-ish. Has a Mercury 650 and...

    Canadarago thermocline issues

    I am fishing @ Canadrago Lake in NY this summer, but I have never been there. I have asked a few questions in various places and learned a lot from that as well as from searching around on the internet. I will probably learn a lot from the guys I will be fishing with as well, but I am trying to...

    Steel leaders - do they catch more walleye?

    I was thinking about a fishing trip I am taking this summer. The lake in question has walleye, my target specie, as well as pike and tiger muskies. So I was wondering about using steel leaders due to the fact that some of the fish reported from the lake are substantial. When I first started...

    Shakespeare line counter

    Hi- Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue - I bought several Shakespeare add-on line counters last year. They attach to your rod, spinning or casting, and will count the number of feet you let out- good for trolling. However, I seemed to be having trouble with line "slipping by"...

    Suzuki Choke problem

    Anybody have problems with the choke sticking closed on a Suzuki? Mine is a 1985 DT40 which used to occasionally be "unstartable" after running a while, but we discovered last summer that the problem was that the choke would stick shut even with the knob pushed back in. It would start nearly...

    Black Box Fish attractor

    I posted an inquiry in "electronics" but didn't get a discussion (one guy responded), so the thought occurred to me to post in the fishing section...duh:redface: Has anyone here built their own "black box" electronic trolling tool? Or have comments on the "Amazing Fish Catching Secret"...

    Black box - fishing tool

    Hi- Has anyone here built their own "black box?" I know, I can go out and buy a Pro Troll or Scotty, but I like projects and putting my own spin on things :) I know there are also websites that sell a schematic, but I have never been patient enough to get to the price page, and from what I...
