I've convinced myself that if I ain't hunting fish will bite. Not always the case, but it's hard to beat a day on the water.... even in a parka.


By the way when it gets parka weather is the time to switch from beer to Irish creme or Tom and Jerrys.

Re: Starcraft club can I join ?

It wasn't parka time this morning at 5:30am but it was a tad on the chilly side. Fishing turned out kinda bad. The lake is so low I couldn't get up to my favorite hole so I fished the nerd spots for a while just to see if they actually ever caught anything there.. noo. Came back in at 8:30am threw it in neutral and waited a 1/2 hour for the dock to clear. Put it back in gear and she died. Started, put it in gear and it died again. Put the troller out and came in. I was pretty freaked being a new engine and all but the trouble was found when I pulled it out of the water. 75' of ski rope wrapped around the prop and draggin off the back. I can't figure out how I didn't see it, I must have drifted over it. You couldn't imagine the relief.

Bonus post -- Yep the ole Mariner is now for sale on Craigslist in California, north bay area. My buddy got his back and we swapped over the weekend. He thanked me, once for the engine loan and a second time for teaching him to turn off an engine when the alarm goes off. He only needed a new head gasket and a thermostat.

Hey Rick,

Looks good to see the wet side down and the paint job was well worth the effort. Can't wait to see the final product in person in June.

Albert

Progress is our most important product.

Re: Starcraft club can I join ?

I joined the starcraft club this past week too..

Got a nice 1968 Starcraft Mariner 16'.
Has a good running 1976 35hp evinrude on her.

All in all a good boat. Trailer needs some updates.
Old floors will make it till the winter.
Then I will redo the better part of the boat...
