    Erie to North Channel trip

    Good Morning, Long term I've been looking at all kinds of extended boat trips from Port Clinton OH area to places on Erie and other Great Lakes. It helps me get through the winter months. Has anyone traveled from Erie to the North Channel on north shore of Lake Huron recently? Curious about...

    One of those days

    This wait is painful. Is it normal to re-line poles and make new leaders multiple times waiting on the ice to clear for the new boat?

    Well, here goes!

    Thank you! Definitely plan to look over it thoroughly. Can you let me know what types of things you found and had fixed?

    And yes, I still have the plans and some details on mods I made, but I'm skeptical on how low the oak floated. Debating on switching back to yellow pine or something odd like mulberry.

    Got up for a drink and heard the pump running all the time. Outlet hose was pulled back partially inside the brick wall and dumping water. Wildlife or really strong spider.

    Doesnt have a trailer, going to be in the water initially but I am looking for one long term. Would prefer a tri axle w/ hyd brakes but my wallet pocket hurts to bad at the moment.

    Well, here goes!

    Thank you all. And I agree WOW! Medicinal bourbon in a tin cup is highly likely.

    Well, here goes!

    Thanks, I'm really looking forward to it! Agreed, paperwork mistake would be a very bad deal. Read through some of Canadian entry details. Last person I spoke with made the process of coming back to the US sound a little sketchy. Something about a phone mounted on the side of a public...

    After 3+ years of searching, agonizing, wishing for a lottery win, riding in several friends boats, and tooling around in Erie relatively calm water in my 19' Lund, I purchased a 2018 300 Marlin! No, there is no financial measurement or justification that makes this a great investment. It's a...
