this is a good running motor just needs a carburetor cleaning due to the fact that it doesnt run great at low speeds other than that it has worked very well for me. I had it on an older 16 ft lund and it pushed it 23 mph. i would like to get 350 for it but give me a call and maybe we can work something out. I could deliver this motor if need be.

I have school untill 2:20 anyways, so that will probably be fine, unless we go to our cabin (just realized we were going) before 5 but I doubt it. I wont be able to call in the morning because I will be at school, so I will just have to call later on friday, unless you want me to call tonight. smirk.gif

yes possibly tonite. My dad will be home any minute now, but we are going to see a 45 minute movie at the I Max theatre, but after that possibly. I just found two 25 horse motors on craigslist for a little bit more money than yours that I am interested in as well. IO still would definitely like to check yours out, because I dont want to get your hopes up of a sale, and say no. I am not saying this for you to lowere the price or anything, but just wanted to tell you that I have some others to look at possibly.

My dad just got home, and tonite will not work. Sorry it will have to be tomorrow after five. We drive basically through farmington to get to our cabin, so we should be able to find time.

I wish we didnt have to go frown.gif

sounds okay does that mean you buy it tomorrow if you like it or does it mean you have to look at those other motors first? youre not going to find a better deal than this because i am just trying to get rid of it. Another thing is that for some reason this motor is a very fast 18 horse because i have had a 15 horse motor on my boat and its not comparable at all so thats another thing to think about.

It is going to have to be sunday or monday now mad.gif

We are leaving now so I cant check it out until sunday. To be honest, I dont even know if my dad is interested in those others, so we will check yours out first, and if it is the right buy, we will get it. Im sorry about that frown.gif

I will be sure to write down your number, and call you, so we can see it on our way back home. ttyl.

I hate to be stubborn, but if this other motor that I saw is still for sale, I am going to check it out. Sorry I didn't call, didn't want to bother you at work. This other motor is a short shaft(Which is what i really need) a bit more power, newer parts, and such, plus its at about the same price, so I hope you can understand my reasoning for not purchasing yours right now. It may be up to a week before I see this other one (that is if it is still for sale) so I will get back to you when I decide. I am still considering yours, but if I don't I wish you good luck, and I think yours will sell pretty fast, because it is a good deal.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
