  1. Ok.. So, I've been looking at chartplotter/fishfinder units for the soon to be obtained new boat.. I show the better half the Raymarine C97 with the built in fishfinder, thinking I'm gonna hear it..

    The response I receive is "Why don't we go with the C127? It has a bigger screen and is easier to see, right?"

    Gotta love a woman that is obsessed with big lake fishing as much as I am!! :thumb:

  2. Went out of Grand Haven on 5/07 to fight the fog. Fished from about 09:00 to noon and ended up 3 for 4. 3 kings and a steelie. The 2 kings we boxed were 7 and 11 lbs and the steelie was a little over 4 lbs. 50 fow 30 down was hot for the kings. All takes on a Warrior Weasel regular. Steelie came on a 4 color behind a prototype of mine. It was cold and damp out there but a decent morning none the less.

  3. Jeremy,

    First off..WELCOME!!

    Now.. What size braid are you using? I normally run 50/12 Power Pro. Remember, you do not need to spool your whole reel with the braid. Use a quality mono backer and then add 100 to 200 yds of braid. This will save you a couple of bucks. I have never had any experience with the Ugly Braid. I have only run Power Pro and the original Fireline with good success with both.

    Good luck and keep the questions coming!

  4. Ok, All...

    Here is a pic of what the Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish is doing to the oxidation.. Sorry about the quality. The digital camera is dead at the moment so I used my cell..

    I am still shocked at how this is treating it. It takes a lot of product, a little elbow grease, but I feel that the end result is sweet. With a coat of wax, it should take 10 years off the top..

  5. No problem. Like I said, we'll see how it effects the glass but I don't forsee a problem. I was just shocked how fast and easy it smoothed out and put a shine on that gelcoat.. As soon as the sun gets up a little higher, I will go out and do a good sized spot and try to get a pic of it.

  6. Hello everyone!

    I accidentally stumbled across something today that I would like to share with you. Let me start with the fact that my hard top is very oxidized and chalky looking. I was in the final stages of cleaning the boat and was polishing the rocket launcher when I stumbled across something. I was using Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish on the launcher when I accidentally got some on the hard top. I wiped it off (with minimal effort) and was shocked at what I saw. I would have to say that the majority of the oxidation was gone. It looked like I had just hit it with a buffer. So, I used a little more and did another small section of the top. WOW.. I broke out the #7 rubbing compound and did a small spot next to the Mothers and the Mothers beat it hands down.

    I am very aware that this product is made to polish metal and I have no clue if it will have an adverse effect on the gelcoat, but I plan on doing the whole hard top with it. It is THAT incredible. I will try to get a picture of the difference tomorrow and get it posted for you to see.
