Not sure if there will be water to hit Monday but getting the equipment ready none the less.

Got the old Lund cleaned and ready, this is my Sask lake boat. Rather than beating my big boat up on those roads and some of the smaller lakes don't have much for ramps I'll use this boat. Some may recall a couple years back I gutted and rebuilt this boat. My oldest son used it since then but he recently bought himself a new boat so I took back possession of it. Gave it a good cleaning, pulled the carb, stripped it down and gave it a good clean, and reset it. Put in new water pump, drained and replaced leg oil, new hub bearings and tail lights on trailer. She's ready for the water.



Changed leg oils in both engines on the big boat, new fuel filters, new plugs and engine oil (4stroke) in the trolling motor. I also installed an electronic trolling control on the trolling motor, this I am looking forward to. You can still use the manual throttle but also the electronic for fine tuning. As some may know it's a real bugger to get one set just right with cable linkage, this system is sweet. Auto full throttle, idle switch for when you fight a fish and hit run it will automatically return to last throttle setting. Wasn't a cheap unit but it'll be worth it. Had to do a little bit of mods to make it fit and work fully smoothly, I will be writing a letter to the manufacturer with some suggestions. Over all it was ready to go in but I did have to tweak a couple things. Also had to build a bracket for it to mount it. They are made on a long cable to use remotely if you want but I don't want cables laying around to trip over and tangle in so I hard mounted the control.

  I got the itch pretty bad , and I am very fortunate to have
   friends who are pumped and ready . I'm not sure physically
   I could get a rig ready like I use to .
   Walleye s nice set ups ....the tinner is perfect go anywhere .
    What is the black piece by the fender on the Tinner trailer .
     A support ?

3 boats makes you an admiral in my books.

Nice stuff forsure.

Thx OL_JR. Yes I do enjoy the Fisherman it's too bad Lund quit making it in this style, you have to go to a 1950 Tyee to get the same hull as this boat today. It changes well from family boat to fishing vesel it doesn't get used as a family boat much these days but it's there if ever we do want it. Yes the package was a special order with the ETecs and Johnson kicker. I love that engine very unique engines those ETecs, in 10 seasons not a whimper not a miss not a couph out of it, absolutely flawless. They are starting to really catch on out there, I always base engine popularity from what I see out on the west coast and in the last 2 years ETecs are really starting to catch on. Mercy and Yammy were the big players out there for years and still are but Evenrude is picking up steam. Really I don't think one can go wrong with any of the big names, Merc, Yammy, Sazuki all good machines. If you've been around as long as any of them you can't be junk. Save your pennies you'll get a gooder some day. If all goes well in the next 2 to 3 years I may be looking to sell this one and move on to a more west coast specific boat, looking at stuff in the 24' - 26' range, this one will be up on the market. It will be a few years old but this boat shows near new, it's my baby and gets treated very well, it  gets used but never abused and always serviced. Who knows maybe we'll make a deal. I know this, you'll pay double for a new one for what I'll sell this one for, new the way I have this boat rigged is over 80 grand easy.
