  1. Wouldn't that depend on if you have a four stroke or a two stroke kicker and if you main motor is an outboard and oil injected and your kicker is a two stroke you would still have to mix the oil for the kicker. It's a great way to go if you have all four strokes though. Tom
  2. I was on the fence a couple of years ago, I bought a boat and had to put a finder on it. Looked at a lot of different units, I wanted a combo finally pulled the trigger on a Humminbird 917c. I've never looked back, that thing locks on satelites before I leave the dock. There are more features in that unit than I need and someday I'll figure it all out. Tom
  3. Think spring boys. I still have the Trophy for sale and it has to go this year. I just got the news that I'm being laid off this week and we could use the extra cash. I'm not desperate but willing to deal. This is a good price on a very clean boat with low hours. Thanks for looking. Tom
  4. Nice bag of fillets there. Noah and me had a great time and I think Noah is hooked on fishing small lakes, you can't beat having a line in the water 15 minutes after leaving the truck. The venison chilli was just the thing to warm up too, great stuff Jason. We're going to do it again thats for sure. Thanks for letting us tag along. Tom
  5. Thanks Frank, same to you and your family. Hope we can get together again this year.

  6. I'd be willing to try to get to it, but like Jason busy kids schedule will dictate what I can do. Tom
  7. Nice ride, have one myself without the hard top.
  8. Nice job Jason. I was watching the wind over here on Saturday and figured you would probably have a rough ride. Tom
  9. Sorry Steve thats the best I can think of, maybe get hold of Humminbird and find out what they are doing different, there must be a work order number to try and track it down. I've had bird's for the last 10 years and they've never let me down. Good luck. Tom
  10. Is this a sonar GPS combo together? If so there is a way to turn the sonar off. Its in the drop down menu's. Make sure the sonar is turned on. My 917c can run just the GPS if I want without the fish finder. Tom
  11. Without the downriggers and planer boards and planer reels the price is $17900.00
  12. Went to Rogers City for the weekend for the first time. Thats a nice place to fish, we had a lot of marks and tons of bait. We ended up with one small king and a decent laker. We had one good rip Saturday night on 7 colors of lead that broke the leader. Friday night and Saturday morning we fished toward Hammond Bay just north of 40 mile point light in 40-60 fow and thats where we caught the king and the laker. The king hit a bloody nose spoon on 6 colors of lead right at dark. The laker hit a blue dolphin spoon saturday morning down 49 ft. The rip we missed on saturday night was on 7 colors of lead and we were in front of the Calcite plant in 45 fow it broke the leader and I almost lost my in line but we found it just before dark it hit a #4 J Plug fire tiger that plug had to be 20 years old and that fish hit it like freight train and was gone. Would defintely give it another try sometime. First king and laker in 20 years, forgot how much fun they are to catch and how good they taste on the grill. Tom
  13. Good Job Troy, we didn't stay out long enough I think. We were there also and only had one release Saturday night. Tom
  14. Thanks Frank, I hope it will sell soon. Tom
  15. Price is now $18,500.00 I can't go much lower.
  16. Well I went over to give it a try and we ended up with one release and no fish. It was rough yesterday and this morning. We tried everything I had in my box and just couldn't connect. Didn't mark a lot of fish. We didn't see a net go in the water yesterday evening and we only saw netted this morning. We tried from the bath house to the stick. I'll say this it wasn't for lack of effort, everyone is saying the water is to warm yet. Thanks for all the help and I'll try it again in the future. Tom
  17. Good job on the repair, what did it take four bolts and loosen the clamp on the bellows. Sometimes its easy to get intimadated, just take your time, look it over and see if you want to attempt it. That will save you some money right there. :thumb: Tom
  18. Thanks for the info, I had a thread in the Salmon Pro section about where to get the stuff I need and had a lot of great responses. Tom
  19. I've done it on my other boat I had but it was a V-8 and it wasn't much of a problem. Get a gasket scrapper and you'll be good to go.
  20. Thanks for all the replies, now I hope the weather works out for us. Tom
