We're probably going to stick to the northern great lakes and the inland waterway in the lower. Not sure what map cards that unit comes with.

Just keeping the wood in good shape alone has got to be a ton of hours every year. my sil works for hinckley. i believe he said the maintenance agreement to take care of the bright work and service the jet drive was 10k per year on a picnic boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez ryder Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 remember just like GPS you cant always believe what you are looking at . few yrs back a bud died when they were on the river on way home from a night of dinner and drinking he was passed out on back seat other bud was driving with new nav system with some overlay map of aria right in to a fucking cliff. bud in back seat flew about 12 feet in to dash and was killed instantly . no one else even drew blood .

Ez ryder Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 how dose the rope cutter work? When I was a kid I spent summers in AK a lot of it on old mans gill net salmon boat . I know it was beyond a pain when the net got in to both screws . dry suit scuba gear all in some not bad but not great weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez ryder Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I assume a lot of the larger gillnet boats are caging props now also . I have not done any of that shit since the mid 80s . I could have EZ walked in to that life but wanted nothing to do with it as soon as I had a option to not go fishing . in hind site not a bad gig but no regrets . the old man never saved a dime but that license he got with a old wood trawler in the 70s for south of ten g was a real nice retirement package . lol he bought it to get out of the body shop a few weeks every summer as a hobby and never got out loved it. it was real cool at times and scary as shit others.

AKIQPilot Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 We kayaked down the Kaswitna river yesterday. About a 10 mile run. River is high and the water is moving pretty good at about 6mph. Biggest swells were about 18-24". Enough to get your attention in a kayak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
