Earlier this year many Forum readers gave me alot of useful feedback as I narrowed decision on my next rig. Though nobody is likely to remember this particular request for help I told myself on the prinicple of it, I would report what I did.
2 days ago I ordered a Lund Pro-V 1775 with E-tec 90, Yamaha 8 kicker, Shorelandr 3100 lb with brakes...pretty fun!
I was going to get the Yamaha 115 but couldn't resist the latest technology and have had a succession of Evinrudes so have the irrational factor. Anyway, keep answering queries...it makes a difference.

Thanks Beretta.
I had a 60hp 1989 Evinrude on an 18 1/2 foot aluminum for my last boat so this new 90 on a 17 footer ought to be plenty of horses for me and certainly less smokey, more quiet, etc.

Sorry to hear you bought into that evinrude crap and the fact that motor is too small for that boat, Salesman saw you coming.

You must have been sniffing paint.

Those E-tec motors are super sweet. I got to test drive one on a 618 Ranger tiller this past fall. It was awesome! Don't let anyone tell you different. You'll love it!

      15 foot Boat registration question

      By leech~~ · Posted

      Yes, MN is very difficult to register anything that had a title or a original registration card. I've ran into the same issue with old snowmobiles, and motorcycles it suks. Hope he can get it done over in Wisconsin for you. Good Luck.

      My fishing trip started June 1st and it's been tough!

      By Raven77 · Posted

      Thanks.  Very similar to my tactics.  I usually haven't started using lead core until August and then we are fishing in 30 FOW.  I will give it a try in 20-25'.

      2023 Lake Vermilion Fishing Reports

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      It's amazing how much the water level is dropping. It looks like we've been getting enough rain to keep the forest hydrated but not enough to fill the lake.

      2023 Lake Vermilion Fishing Reports

      By JerkinLips · Posted

      Finally made it up to Vermilion this summer.  Between opening our place in Soudan and entertaining the wife and dog I only made it out on the lake 1½ hours Wednesday evening and 3½ hours Thursday morning.  In those 5 hours all I caught was a 10" perch.  I had 3 other light bites and that was it.  The wife caught two 8" eyes Wednesday and didn't get out Thursday morning with me.  Vermilion Fuel and Food didn't have rainbows, and their chubs were very small and pike suckers were too big (they did have a river-mix that looked good that I should have tried).  I did see a few mayflies on the surface so I will blame all of those factors on my lack of success, although my lack of fishing skills factored in also.  Many others fishing around us and I only saw one other fish being landed so maybe I wasn't the only one struggling to catch fish.   Water temp was 65°F in Stuntz Bay and the water level is running 13" lower than last year at this time as shown below.  Good luck fishing and enjoy the lake.  It was beautiful out there.
