  1. Never had gas and switched from a Weber Kettle to a Camp Chef pellet grill maybe 4 years ago and will never not own a pellet grill.
  2. Torqueedo has been around a lot longer than E-Propulsion and they have a great reputation.
  3. So tell us how you prepared it.

    What engine? The 2.7 Ecoboost is the one with issues.

    Last Bronco I owned was a 1984 bought in 88 as a present for my wife. She got it on the divorce Nothing against the new Bronco, not a bad looking suv. I've just heard of a lot of engine failures

    Bronco's have a common engine failure issue
  7. Inner and outer seals and inner and outer bearings are cheap. If you don't have the tools, any auto parts store can hook you up with a bearing grease press and a seal remover. As far as lights, if you are sure the bulb isn't bad, you have a busted wire or a bad ground.
  8. A loving wife should be able to take care of it easy peasy
  9. Find yourself a used 14ft aluminum boat.
  10. There are more additives in the oil. Try DOMOonline for better pricing
  11. Yeah..no... I live in Chicago. My favorite pizza https://www.pizzaboychicago.com/
  12. I spent an enjoyable Fathers day fishing with my father and my son. Dads days are numbered. While I truly miss tournament fishing with my son, my grandson is my favorite fishing partner. Everything is new to him. Eric is going to be 6. I just taught him how to cast a spinning reel as opposed to a closed face reel last time we were out. He's still in "live bait" mentality but that will pass eventuality.
  13. Wish I could remember how I did it. I mounted LED's to my trailer that would come on when in reverse. I don't own the boat anymore.
  14. Finding parts for anything sucks. I'm in the parts business (hvac) and we have still not recovered from the covid inventory shortage. My guess is this will continue to affect us for another 1-2 years. My question is, you have a 2 stroke motor, what parts can you not find? 4 stroke motors have a lot more parts than 2 strokes.
  15. Where do you fish the Rock? It's been quite some time since I've been there. I used to go walleye fishing at the Oregon Dam
  16. @Jig Rookie Agree we need rain. Get some fresh water in these lakes, especially the shallow ones. Island lake, where I fished on Sunday, has a max depth of 9ft and they did a weed kill a week ago. Fish are normally relatively easy to find. Places that always hold fish had none or just dinks. I didn't fish it as thoroughly as normal, because I had my 83yo dad in the boat. I also couldn't get the boat in some areas I wanted to because of the low water. On top of it, there was a bunch of "weed sludge" from the weed kill, that made fishing less than fun. I don't have much faith in the rain showing up. We're allegedly experiencing a "super" El Nino this year and the trajectory of the weather patterns had the Midwest and Central Plains drier than normal, and Northeast and Southeast wetter than normal.
  17. Island lake today. 15 bass in 5 hours. Caught most in the first and last hour on the water. Water is 70* and maybe a foot low. Weeds were treated last week. We need rain. Biggest was 19-1/2", most in 15"-16" range. Happy Father's Day all
  18. He's out running around like a 6yo should. Thanks for asking.
  19. No. Weight and hull design has to do with the ride. The thickness has to do with how well it will hold up to waves and/or obstructions.
  20. We left the ER and his fever was down. Back over 104 today. Said it's a viral thing. Playing it by ear right now
  21. Spent yesterday evening in the ER with my grandson. We got to see this take off.
  22. I actually prefer Humminbird but that wasn't one of the choices. Full disclosure, I ran 'Birds for many years and currently run a Garmin. I've only played around with Lowrance in the stores. My reason for choosing HB was the integration with the Lakemaster cards and the iPilot trolling motors. I ran 'Birds for about 15 years. The 2 reasons that turned me away from Lowrance were, I felt the interface more difficult to navigate and IMO, some of the advertising was deceptive. By deceptive, I mean graphs were offered at $XXXX.xx but the advertised graphs did not come with a transducer or a GPS puck or whatnot. A-la-cart offering so to speak. I know of a few folks that got burned by that. They assumed they were getting more. Yes, their fault for not doing their due diligence... The Garmin I run currently, cost more than I paid for the boat it is installed on. The current boat is a filler, and a bigger boat is in the near future. For the next boat, I'm currently leaning towards running straight Garmin or a combo of 'Birds and Garmin. Birds for the same reason(s) stated above. Garmin because of it's integration capabilities with Yamaha.
  23. Garmin is more user friendly than Lowrance
