If your friend is from MN he can now just go to the DMV and get the new “Enhanced Drivers License”. Also cheaper than a passport.

Mark Susinno. He is a fantastic realist painter, his talent for painting fish, the underwater scenery, and the way light reacts underwater is amazing.
I would check with Warners Dock in New Richmond WI.

I just got back from a 6 day trip there. We set up camp on Indiana Lake and fished all the water around it as well. We caught a lot of small mouth and northern on pretty much anything we threw. Lipless cranks KVD shads, #5 mepps spinner. Heres a pic of one of the many northern caught. Have fun! 
I have a H2Oc, the only difference is it has a color display I think. And it does take the LM chip. As far as testing it you will need the chip in to see if it works. You can find them used on EBAY once in awhile. Check in your battery compartment, look for a grey colored knob, thats what holds your chip in place (under the batteries).
x2 with the flasher. With the flasher you are covering the entire water column. With a camera your missing out on alot. Flashers are easy to use, watch some youtube “how to” vids. Cameras are fun, but a flasher imho is much more useful. I bought my flasher 1st then a camera the following year. They work well together, but I will fish without the camera, but not without my flasher.
Gotta love the chocolate labs 
Nice fish Tom. I’ve been working on jigs this year too. Do you trim the weed guard down on yours? Just curious, I usally cut mine at an angle almost flush with the hook. Guess it gives me a little more confidence on the hook up with a new technique for me. So far not a big issue with them hanging up.
Harbor “view”/Bar.
guess i wasnt paying that close of attention, need to read closer after a LONG 2nd shift
congrats on the PB, Nice looking ‘eye.

harbor view has really good food, and it a block away from the pickle factory…
Ones in Pepin, Ones in Redwing. Are we talking about the same place? No diss intended just checking. 
Lakecity has the “skyline”(central point, where the pearl of the lake harbors) with docking available, Ok restaurant with inside/outside seating. Wabasha “Slippery’s” with docking and inside/outside seating. Reads landing has the new bar/restaurant with shore “docking”. Stockholm has “gillys pub”, shore docking with the blue bike transportation kind of fun stop.
Congrats on the new PB
Nice resort probably cheaper for the cabin than a hotel room docks for your boat etc. Right on some good water too.
Located about 2 miles north of Wabasha.

“SO you mean your wiring was ‘tampered with’ and this caused the motor failure”? Hummm…ya, this is going to be interesting.
I didn’t see any any posts that said the wiring was tampered with??? This boat was purchased 3 months ago from Warners Dock. I’ve used it maybe 10 times and still owe 3 years of payments. The insurance I had to buy was from the same bank the loan was from. Why does the bank make you buy insurance? Because they also have an investment in the purchase. This would lead me to believe that I would be covered if the boat/trailer is wrecked. There is no scam, or tampering involved if thats what you were implying. I’ve owned at least 4 boats in the last 10 years(always upgrading) and have had a few issues, but never an insurance claim. If the impeller for example gets old an alarm sounds etc etc. Now heres a new boat thats dead with no warning. So I should just eat it? If I was careless and hit a wing dam or somthing, that would be covered, but something I have no control over isn’t. Thats my complaint…

I don’t understand what chewed wires (from a mouse) has to do with a blown motor. Did you hear a “clank” or anything else that would indicate a metal failure causing the motor to quit? Depending on the age of the motor, most these days “shut down” automatically if the oil is low or something else is happening that will cause major motor damage. I’d be checking out the “blown motor” claim before I got to excited.
If the mice just chewed wires that is something vastly different from a blown motor.
No clanks or anything. Just shut down at 45-5000 rpms..

OK I just re-read your post. I see you mentioned the mouse chewed the oil line. I still think the motor may have went into it’s self preservation mode. What year and brand is this motor?
Its a 1997 150hp Mariner. Just got off with the adjuster, he said at least 2 cylinders are shot. A rebuilt power head is around 4500.00 he said. Now it will go before some board to see if or what will be covered. My policy is called “an agreed value”, it supposed to cover up to the current value of the boat. It was my understanding that meant full coverage up to the full value of the boat, with no depreciation. I guess I’ll find out Wed or Thur. 
The insurance co is Progressive. Ive carried insurance with Justin before on a previous boat with no issues. I went with progressive for this one because my local agent has my house and truck policies as well. She never mentioned anything about a mouse voiding the policy… Kind of b.s. if you ask me. Paid my insurance in full for the year, now a blown motor may not be covered because a mouse? The shop manager just called and said the agent was there so hopefully i here something before I have to start work at 3.
I dont think so. I will see if he has any other pics though.
He guessed it at 50-55lbs. For reference he is 6′ tall.
