Ask friends for help if they have boats. My dad taught us to back up the trailer young by going in the parking lot at home depot late at night and setting up cones for us to back into, definitely don't learn at the ramp. Know what a true no wake is, too many people go slow, plow and throw a giant wake.
Deep south props in lockport will work on any prop you can think of and do great work.

Went out there two years ago and fished the Yellowstone with a guide and a drift boat. We did well with thunder thighs fly pattern and a dropper as well. One of the fly shops in Livingston will have more info and will most likely help a little more if you bring a six pack and ask for a few pointers.

Microskiff forum is a great site to read about fly fishing, found a thread about what you are looking for.

I had to cut out my gas tank in a smaller skiff and re do it all. Got the awlgrip and nonskid from seachest marine on the west end. Was not that bad to get looking good.

Works great for the whole boat I work and we only travel the Mississippi River.
Had a girl in there a few years back that looked like Pocahontas, was pretty awesome. Definitely go in there, always a good time during hunting season.
Email me and will help you out on what i can. Me and some buddies have done this twice and done well.

Looking at the tropical tidbits page at the GFS forecast 10 days out for a trip to Belize.I know its a long shot but any shot at the low pressure on the 25th actually doing something and is there a way to see more than just the gulf forecast?
Get a used lx570 or landcruiser. Will last decades more than any of those.

yeah definitely do the research, i went with Dobinsons due to ih8mud forum some guys having OME start squeaking. OME and Dobinson are both Australian and they put those trucks though hell and back. I would stay away from icon, had two buddies have to send shocks in to get rebuilt before two years on the trucks.

Just did a dobinsons ims kit on my wife's suv, it rides better than stock. I would recommend doing the full set up with new UCA, springs and shocks. In the long run you wont regret it. Do it right the first time, i have learned the hard way.
I fish out of a skiff as well and have this one. I would like to add an external antenna but having the programmable mmsi number for an actual emergency is the best. I also carry a SPOT to go along with the vhf

After reading more, it seems to be a common occurrence for the seatbelt wire to break and cause the airbag to deactivate.
Ih8Mud forums are a great resource, from a limited search it could be the seat belt tension setting it off. I have a recall on a 2018 for the seatbelt tensioner. If the seatbelt is hard to go back in that may be the problem.
We paddled from Ponca to Pruitt landing and service through Buffalo Outdoor Center where they will park your car to the spot you want to get off of the river at. We brought our own canoes but recommend doing this trip, It is a blast and good fishing. If you have paddled before it is awesome when it rains, some easy white water.
Yeah but all politicians are the same, there is a few people in top positions in that office who worked under Reed that are still there. Someone running the show is ok with it.

Minn Kota warranty

Afternoon, anyone have any luck with minn kota warranty. 24V terrova bought in August 22 was making a slight wine and went to inspect it, well the motor had quite a bit of water and sand in it.
Buy the lx570. We have a 2013 that has been in the shop twice. Once for a door lock and the other is the alternator went out, or you can buy the pos American made junk that will be worth nothing in 4 years.
