    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Got the Garmin moved! :cool: Haven't had a chance to take it on the water yet, but I definitely like having the head unit on the console and the transducer at the stern. Not that it means that I'll have to buy a second unit to mount on the bow later. Or something. 😁 From 11-4-23

    Hi guys! Looks like I'll be getting back to work on the Chief tomorrow morning. :D This evening I started reviewing my prior work and where we were when I left off and realized that I'd not kept everything up to date here, so I'll give a brief update now.

    Nobody fishing?

    Yeah, going fishing with us has made a big difference in his life. Otherwise, he just stays home, works on puzzles and gets bored silly. I'm happy to bring him along. Last week, we tested getting him up into my boat so that we could get out on the water. He got in there, but it was a major...

    Tin boat prices

    Nice Tracker-style boat! Have you extended your search area? I keep my FB search parameter at 500 miles and that certainly provides more opportunities, even if I decide not to travel. Might work for you as well.

    Tin boat prices

    Yeah, boat prices went nuts during the Pandemic and don't really seem to be coming down much. Two years ago I got a $6,000 offer on my Kingfisher. I should have taken it! :ROFLMAO:
