The T&T on the handle is the reason I bought Yamaha. I just don’t understand why everybody else’s motor isn’t like that.

There will be major trollin’ going on for slimers very soon!

Done business with Nick at LaCannes twice. Same experience both times. No surprises, great service!

Congrats on the new motor.

You’ll love the handle… I have this on my 90 tiller and it works like a charm .Likewise… Nick & Corey helped me with my boat in 2006 . Great service, everything was exactly how we discussed. Beat all competition by $1500-$7k. what a difference it makes to shop around

Hats off to LaCannes

That does not sound like Nick. He is ugly and his Mommy dresses him funny

OK just kidding, I have known him since High School. One thing Lacannes does well is take care of people.

Congrats on the new motor.

I just wanna jump in here and post this. Several people have sent pm’s (which I have answered) asking the price I paid.I don’t feel it’s my place to quote prices for LaCannes. I just don’t feel good about it. I am real happy with my deal and I’ll just leave it like that. (I found during dating it always worked better not to kiss an tell also )

Nick was real above board and willing to quote me my price over the phone and I’m sure he would do the same for you guy’s.

Thanks for all the well wishes, can’t wait to run it.

Just got back from picking up my boat from LaCannes in Faribault. Had them hang a new ’09 Yamaha 60hp four stroke tiller on my old (1990 Tuffy) boat.

Brian,

The 2009’s have not been produced yet!!

I may be wrong but ALL the motor companies just stopped issueing years of manufacture. Basicly their feeling is if I make 200,000 motors in 2007 and only sell 150,000 in 2007 then the balance (50,000) will be considered 2008’s.

Although it really doesn’t matter. My receipt says I bought a 2009, for warranty purposes thats all I care about. Wheather it’s a 2006 or whatever they are considering it NEW in 2009.

Did I mention my dealer took good care of me?

That is correct. We had a thread about this a while back. Where it really matters is where warranty is involved. There is very little change in these motors from year to year. Maybe a little in graphics, but that is about it.

Did I mention your dealer (LaCannes) told me they didn’t
have any 2009’s. (Corey)

If it was sold in 2008 then it should have been written
up as a 2008 even though it could have possibly been
manufactured in 2005-2008.

2009 is not even an option especially since Yamaha no longer follows
their old production schedule and haven’t since 2005. Their old production year ran from April 1 to March 31 of the following year.

Seems to me that Mr. Dan Dorn is still a little ruffled over the way mfgs date their motors.

Enjoy that motor, Brian. Whatever the year is.

Of cousre 2009 year products like Trucks, Cars and Boat motors are available.

Just about everything sold this time of year is 2009.

Just curious if anyone has had experience with fitting shotguns?

Whether it was dumb luck, or most likely just that I adapted over years of shooting, to this day I can pick up the old Mossberg pump that I bought from a pawn shop when I was 13 year old and shoot lights out. However, several years back I picked up an 1187 semi-auto that I prefer to use for pheasant hunting, but I always shoot low for the first handful of shots before I make a concious effort to adjust how I look down the barrel. Basically what I really would like to do is find someone who is experienced at fitting shotguns so that I can adjust my 1187 to be more of a natural fit.

If anyone here can point me in the direction of good place in the metro area that does shotgun fitting it would be much appreciated.

If you’re consistently hitting low with your 1187 it’s likely your stock is too low. Just like a rear rifle sight, raise the comb and you will raise the point of impact. You can experiment with layers of moleskin until you raise the point of impact to your satisfaction. Then you will need to either go with a comb riser kit, or a higher replacement stock.

You should be able to find a fitter in your area by contacting the larger clubs.

Go talk to Fred at the Gander Mountain in Woodbury. the guy is awesome!! he did my Ruger Red Label, my wifes Bennelli, and a buddies Bennelli as well. I know Gander has a bad rap for somethings but Fred is the man!! and reasonable prices as well.
