Trolling motor advice - What would you do?
I have a Minn Kota AT, Foot control 12v, 42", 50lb thrust if you're interested. Works great. Has the head/steering gear beef up kit installed. It's around a 1999 model. $175 shipped to you if you're interested.

Trim sensor present?
Trim sensor = neck and eyes. Turn head around, look at motor to see what position it's in. problem solved.

wind direction
Wind moves at different directions in the atmosphere. While radar shows precipitation going in one direction, down on the ground the wind can be moving in a different direction.

attack of the teen driver.....
Maybe I'm missing something. A guy falls asleep, possibly drunk and takes out 4 cars and that warrants a ;D OK. : C'mon Cart, they say people who laugh live longer I got hit by a sleeping driver a year and a half ago. The rest of the general population was lucky. It was just me and my boat on that road at that time of the morning. Had he gone a mile further he would've entered a much more traveled right of way and the potential for bodily injury to others escalated immensely. I find nothing funny about someone driving a 2 ton vehicle irresponsibly and causing property damage.

Not in Texas obviously.

Giant bass
A few hours later? I don't understand what this guy is doing for a few hours that's more important that weighing a potential world record bass?? Geebus, no offense but some of these trophy guys seem like they've been out in the sun way too long.

Reading the timber
I'm quoting Jimmy Houston here "I can't tell an apple tree from a peach tree unless it's got apples on it." Pretty much where I stand on my arborist knowledge.

Seasonal Baits
If you can figure out how to cast a DD22 into that hole and then retrieve it, I'll be happy to agree with you.

DVD Suggestions

upgrade and tune old abu or replace?
IMO, the mark you're shooting for would be Calcutta performance out of that ABU. I'd say you'd be in the range with all the goodies shown though I don't know that I'd add the mag brake. The 4 pin centrifugal add on looks interesting though. At $100 you're still way under a new Calcutta.

All Star Rods?
This is a bottom side shot of a Titanium. The Platinum uses the same handle. Obviously, if you're looking for a rod you can put as many fingers on as possible, the Platinum just isn't going to satisfy you.

Bassmaster Membership Mail Gimmick
They were doing that with the daily planners. I refused to send it back and marked cancelled, I didn't order on the bill they'd send. They eventually quit sending them to me. Haven't been a member of BASS for about 3 years now and don't miss it.

His VCR is still flashing 12:00! ;D

All Star Rods?
I've got quite a few Titaniums and Platinums. Guess I never paid much attention. Maybe one and a half fingers?

Re: Speedometer question
One of the most useless instruments on a typical boats dash. That along with the trim gauge.

Scott Martin vs. Roland Martin
I've heard that Rolands ex made out rather well in the divorce several years ago. I'm sure he's re-padding the bank account.

Genmar Chapter 11 filing says it all
Rumor has it things at Brunswick (Mercury) aren't so well either. Not hard to believe. I remember the 79-80 oil embargo Pt II. Lots of boat companies went under then.

Looking for lake lot in STL area, any help?
Goose creek comes to mind. It's down I-55 at Bloomsdale. If you stop at the main office, they can hook you up with properties down there that have back taxes due on them and are for sale for nothing more than the cost of the taxes. There are lots of lots in the $500-1000 range. Most of them can't be built on due to the inability to put in septic tanks but you can drag a camper there and set it up or tent camp. Mind you, these are not lake front lots. Incline village, out between Foristell and Wright city is another place. My parents had property there many years ago. The lake is 200 acres, there are still properties for sale out there but they're pricey due to the much improved golf course and club house.

Storm Wiggle Wart
I've never used one but long time wiggle wart users at other forums gave them a big thumbs down. The action wasn't the same.

Sonar Device Image Quality
I've never run my 160 with the fish ID mode on. As all other graphs with that feature, they include a disclaimer in the manual that states something showing as a fish may not be a fish and instead, anything from an air bubble to Jimmy Hoffa's right leg. Adjust the gain down to eliminate some of the surface clutter. There's a segment in the manual on adjusting it correctly.
