Boat Recommendations
Hey cart my buddy just came back from mille lacs lake in Minnesota. He said the lake was like that picture. He was in a 20 foot deep-v but that still had to scare the hell out of him. He said that him and his buddy went even scared. I also use to live on lake michigan and it was scary some times.

Run-In With Pitbull Today
Well I have been around a few pitbulls and ever had this happen. But I think that all he was doing was protecting his land. A friend of mine has a rot and lives next door. He will only bark at people and grawl at people he dosn't know thats on his land. So I think you did the right thing.

St. Croix Premier Rods....
I have two St. Croix premier rods and one avid rod. I have a premier crankbait rod and I love it. I can throw crank baits all day and not even fell it. My buddy that gets to hold my rods once and a while like on how light they are even with a reel on them. So you are making the right choice on the St. Croix.

Should I put my buddy on boat insurance policy?
I will be be a new boat with in a year or two. I will also be getting ful coverege for my boat. Would it be smart to put my buddys name on the policy? Me and him do a lot of umf type of fishing in his boat. So when I get my boat we will keep doing that. He has driven his dads speed boat that gos 80+ many times and drives his own lund real good. He has a clean driving record with boat and car. But Will it cost extra to but his name on the policy and if it does how munch? So iam I smart to put his name on the policy?

Does color matter??
Well I was told bass it dosn't matter. But if your going after walleyes it dose. The only reason it dose for walleyes is becasue your siting over them jging. So The dealer told my buddy to get a light colored bottom. So unless your walleye fishing go for any color you want.

Advise boys on outboard motor
Well its not a speed thing it a safety thing. Boats don't have breaks like cars. The best you can hope for is putting the boat in reverse. Plus with the hull in the air at high speeds lighter boats like to flip over backwards. So if I was you I would just keep it legal. But I don't think a little boat like your would flip with a little more power.

Winterizing the boat
Well I live in Wisconsin and I don't own a boat but by next winter I hope to. I have yet to hear of any one storeing the boat for the winter. The river never freezes over so were out in a blizzard fishing for walleyes.

Hey Flechero here are some flames
I have never seen flames look that good. I have been around cars all my life and have only seen flames look like that on a car once. But you have some mad skills if you can do that on some thing that small. I can't even makes flames look that good on a wall. By the way when i open my own body shop you want a job?

Buying a triton?
For 600 dollers I would by the warranty. Iam getting a ranger soon and have been talked in to a 225 vmax. If you don't think the vamx is good check this out. I pmed glen about his vmax and this I what I got back. 1. Is the hdpi really that good? Yes. I love it. 2. I know that the gas suffers a little but how munch? Suffers? By who's standards? I can go 400-500 miles on a tank, easy. 3. Do I really need the trandsome saver like you have? Yes. It comes with the boat. I'd even say it's mandatory regardless of Merc or Yamaha. A 225 weighs around 500 pounds. It would be insane not to use it. If you lose it, however, my suggestion is to order a new one through the Ranger dealer. It's tough finding a replacement long enough. 4. Whats the top speed with that my buddy is looking at 519 vx? Top speed really depends on boat setup and load. I think the 80mph you experienced is beyond expectations, though. The boat had to be empty to get that speed. Fully loaded, full livewells, a buddy, and at least half a tank of gas will bring that down in the low 70's. Keep in mind each boat has it's own "personality" when it comes to proper setup. So experimentation is the key. What works for one guy usually doesn't work as well with another guy using the exact same boat/motor combo. 5. I don't know were you live but how is it starting in cold weather? That's an interesting question. I have had some starting issues when the temp dips below 45 (excessive cranking to get it started). The Yamaha mechanics worked it over this spring and gave it some new parts. Of course it hasn't been cold enough to try it out yet, so I can't say they fixed it yet. That said, I've still been able to start it in 30-degree temps. I expect I won't have any issues this winter.
