CW, You might be interested in this thread on www.Gamefishin.com where one of the users did a pretty exhaustive study on lines. Here is a quote from his test... Now he was testing 10lb test so there is a big possibility that the higher line ratings are different. But his test does show that...

I've been running some sort of synthetic in all my engines since about 1980 when I was a dealer for Amsoil. I let the dealership drop, but I still use synthetic oils. Don't use it to break in the motor. But once broken in it will work great. Back when I was selling the stuff. The only other...

Thanks Joe! Good timing too. I just picked up some outdrive parts for the 27' and will be tearing the old one down to rebuild it and repaint it. I found this extremely interesting. Kinda like DOH!

Don't ya love it when they are on the top and aggressive! Yup the girls were the reason! :) My daughter or my wife ALWAYS raise the number of fish caught on a trip. That always helps too! :lol:

My old truck ('98 Dakota 4x4 extra cab) had a Leer canopy on it with a plastic bed liner. Loved the canopy, hated the bed liner. I used this truck as a daily driver. My current truck ('93 F250 4x4 extra cab) has Line-X in the bed. Great stuff! Things don't slide around. It is tough and looks...

I've tried bucktailing a couple times. The only time I have had any success, I also had a Silver take a hoochie as it was bouncing on the surface with the rod in the rod holder while my son was trying to enter a fish on his punch card. I just let the line out about 30-40 feet behind the boat...

Sounds like you have had an awesome couple weeks of fishing! I'm envious! :) As to the Seaguar leader. I've been using it exclusively for the last 6 years and have never had a problem with it breaking on my stuff. It is truly some of the nicest line I have ever used. It has good abrasion...

My Audi has the Satellite radio in it. It was activated for the 1st month or so after I got the car. I found that while going back and forth to work it would constantly cut in and out from home in Fall City, until I got to Issaquah (limited line of sight to the southern sky). Then it would cut...

Chris, I don't know if you can find a local supplier or not. But Six Robblees has steel "Jeep flat fender style" fenders for about $32 each. A couple of these painted up with Line-X would really give you a nice fender system.

I'm at a loss for words. I've not been online much the last few days as I finally took time off work to get some work done on the C-Dory for a change. While I never met Caty, I exchanged several PM's emails and a couple phone calls with her when she was having problems with her truck. She was...

This is definitely the CC 26. It looks like they put a Honda 150 on it. Seems kinda small... First time I've seen pictures of it from the inside looking aft. I always thought they had a level floor but it looks like the cabin sole is lower than the cockpit sole.

I got this in an email last week.... Dear Boaters, I'm excited to announce we are organizing our first ever Summer Sale this weekend at Qwest Field in Seattle. This is the same location for the indoor portion of the January Seattle Boat Show. We have rented part of the North Parking lot and by...

Tom, I have the Palm Treo 700w and have used it as a modem on several occasions. To do so I downloaded a program called PDANet. They have a program for both the Palm OS and the Windows Mobile OS. I'm tired of my Treo, so I purchased a Blackberry Curve 8330. Well the Blackberry operating system...

Mike, Big Salmon has a few things, but I would stock up before going. Check out thisthread for some excellent information.

You can also get the Tribal Permit at the Mini-Mart just past Big Salmon. The permit is good for a year. Good luck out there guys! I wish I had the boat running so I could join you! Not looking likely though as I need to get the outdrive rebuilt and the motor in.

Check with Maretron. They have several different items for the NMEA2000 bus. Especially interesting for this topic is the USB100 that converst NMEA 2000 to 0183.

flrockytop, I would check out NewEgg.com before buying from TigerDirect. It looks like they have several of the Asus Eee notebooks with the SSD HDD and their prices are better. Plus NewEgg has always had good customer service.

I've thought about this topic a lot. I really like the idea of using a PC as a plotter but don't like the idea of taking up so much space at the helm. So, what I have been thinking is to get something like the Xenarc 10.2" Touchscreen Sunlight viewable monitor and hook the laptop up to it. This...

Tom's getting far more on the water time than I am lately. But I have found that if you can find feeding fish it doesn't matter what the tides are doing. What the tides generally do for you is to concentrate the bait thus making the above easier. Salmon are opportunistic predators. Meaning if...

:lol: Now that was funny!! Good one Susan!
