Re: Magnumdekes 1976 22' Starcraft Islander

Well i pooped out for a week or two, back to busy at work and then last weekend I completely played lazy and did nothing, gonna keep plugging away at paint prep and try to get it painted and sealed up so it is weather proof and then we may take a break for awhile and start stockpiling the rigging materials needed. I also may be going to the dark side and purchasing a glasser,:eek: 1990 quantum bass boat rig, mint condition NEVER stored outside. It has a Farce 120 on it, I will deal with that, it has low hours. Price is right , just gotta decide if I want to commit to it. Fell in love with that particular boat years ago,:facepalm: almost signed the line to get one in 1991 and thought better of it, woulda been a bad choice then with a young family, now I think it would make a great pan fish/walleye jiggin rig for me. To do or not to do, It would make it so the Browning could retire to the UP at my buds place and I would still have all my fishin needs filled down here, panfish/jiggin river rig and the big water trollin Islander. Ohhh My I need a 12 step program for the MBS disease badly!!!:rolleyes::D

Do you have any left over Storm grey nautolex vinyl? It's backordered everywhere online for a month. I need some to finish a console.

I have to ask you mag. ; How do you feel about your single axle trailer? Mine tows great, but theirs always that nagging worry in my mind with that size boat on a single axle. What is your thoughts on this topic?:scared:

What's up? I know you're still alive. I saw you and the Mrs. on Muskegon Lake last Saturday in your Browning. I was out for a ride with my Dad and Dad-in-law in a glasser I bought. We were coming from Bear Lake Tavern and headed back to Grand Haven. I didn't want to disturb your fishing so I snapped a pic of you from a distance (from what I could see, you looked like you were passed out and the wife was monitoring the lines in the water!)

See:



Any progress on the Islander?

Md - Sounds like you have your priorities just about right. Quality boating and nap time trump working.

Summer always seems too short.
