I posted my problem on another related topic but will do so again. I have a 19 foot boat but my daughter is home from BC and is taking my truck to visit grandparents for the weekend so no tow vehicle. If any boatless members have a truck with a 2 inch ball and are willing to tow my barge I am in wit...

I would love to attend this outing but have a small/large problem. I have a 19 ft boat with lots of room for non boaters but my daughter is home from BC and is taking my truck to visit grandparents for the weekend. If there are any boatless folks out there with a truck with a 2 inch ball that would ...

Well I met up with stetco about 8 am Saturday morning at Ozile's. We got the boat ready and away we went. Introductions were made and oddly enough we had at least one thing in common. He is an active member of the Canadian Forces and I am a retiree although he is army but this old sailor didn't hold...

As a recent seller and buyer of a used boat I have to disagree with the statement made by Trisomy21. I found as a seller that most buyers don't realize the value of a used boat. Because it might have a scratch or 2 or a loose bolt here and there they think the seller should give the boat away. I dir...

Only one seat filled. It's a 19 foot boat so lots of room. Don't be shy.

I take it in a thermos. Don't worry about coffee for me. There is a Timmy's on St.Joseph next to the mall if you need one.

Petrie on Saturday

I am planning to hit the Ottawa and try for some Walleye this weekend. I have room for two if anyone is interested in tagging along. Kids welcome as I am going for fun and relaxation. No cost involved and if you are short on gear do not worry as I am told I have far too much. Just send me a PM and w...

Well I can attest to the fact that my Lund went to places and down roads that it probably should not have for 10 years and not one leak or loose rivet. She had a few dents and was certainly well sandblasted by gravel but was as sound when I sold her as she was when I picked her up. I replaced some p...

I suppose that boats are like cars in the sense that a lot of buyers are dedicated to a certain maker for whatever reason. My personal history with boats is varied (due in part to age). I have owned a Carver tri hull fibreglass, a Misty River 16' aluminum side console, a LUND 16'aluminum adventurer ...

I have a 16 foot LUND with a 90 Evinrude for sale. It is a 2000 model.
Pics are on this site for viewing. Take a look and if interested we can talk price. The boat is at Petrie if you want to have a look.

It is a bit further to go but I would strongly recommend NEMIO OUTFITTERS on the Gouin Reservoir if you are looking for size and numbers. About 6-7 hours from Ottawa. Was up there last week and caught real good numbers and decent sized fish. Six fishermen and we ate fish every day and all brought th...

I will spend half of one day targeting pike because we have a small contest for the largest pike and walleye one day of the trip. I do a lot of trolling/bottom bouncing up there with slimfins and reef runners and pick up a lot of pike while targeting walleye. It really doesn't matter which I catch i...
