Does anyone know if this engine will be available in the 2012 Expeditions?

Call the Scheels store in Omaha. I bought three extra spools for my Stradics for $1 ea and they had quite a variety of other Shimano spools

Have a buddy going up to Ft. Thompson this weekend, so should have a report early next week. Heard they weren’t running much water below Ft. Randall because of the high water back east.

There are 8 different regions to pick from, zoom in is limited to 250 miles, so it’s not like google earth. Remember that you will need to put in today’s date, but can go back in time. Use it alot this year to see where the ice is and if the water is muddy or not. Good luck

I believe that if Textron holds a 70% interest in the memo-billed boats, it has a borrowing base agreement that allowed Genmar to borrow up to 70% of the cost of those boats. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the users of those boats will only owe 70% of the original cost. It is likely that 100% will still be owed, but that Textron was only willing to advance funds equal to 70% of the original cost.

Here is an ’80 for sale with pics

BMS, I have most of the Lund brochures back to 1986, but not back to 1980. Here are the specs on the ’86 Mr. Pike. Transom Height 20″, Approx Weight 690 lbs., Max. weight capacity 1,300 lbs., Max H.P. 75, Beam 72″, Length 16′, Color – Lund Red with light tan deck and interior – oatmeal and red carpeting. Hope that helps and sorry I don’t have the ’80 brochure.

I’ve heard the lake is up 7′ to 9″ in the last month, so it will be back to full pool in no time. Eric, is your new place up near Mobridge? I’ve been looking for a lot or small house on the lake near Bushes or Mobridge for awhile without much luck. Should be a year year of fishing with very nice-sized fish.

I have a lot of old Lund brochures, so let me know the year and the model and I’ll try to help you out.

The bite in the Mobridge area starts around mid-May in normal years and all of June should be good. Late May and early June are also good in the Whitlocks area, both north and south of the 212 bridge. By mid to late June the bite should be very good in the Sutton Bay to Cheyenne River areas. Wherever you go should catch lots of fish. The average size should be really good this year. Have fun and give a report when you get back.
