Sounds like you guys buy cheap appliances. Go get a Bosch and you won’t hand wash anything again.

What he said ^^^^^

We bought a new 2017 Ford Transit diesel cargo van, tall with long wheel base. We had Wahldoch finish the inside with two single beds, cassette toilet, all 12v & 120v wiring, shore power to include inverter, converter, and transfer switch. They also put a removable high back bucket seat in. I installed the kitchenette with refrigerator and sink! I also did the grey water tank and all cabinets. Wahldoch doesn’t do any plumbing.We drove the wheels off of it until we traded it in last year on a new Thor Ford Transit, class B+. Wanted the diesel but Ford stopped selling it in 2021! When we arrive back in MN at our summer home at ML lake, we travel with the boat to fish from Devils lake, LOTW, to Green Bay! The class B+ gave us a little more room and grandma likes the shower!

My Grady White came with an aluminum trailer. For the most part, it stayed looking good! Sold it to a couple up on leach and it’s still looking clean! My winter Lund boat here in AZ has a galvanized trailer, seen no saltwater but holding up great even with all the gravel roads! Other then the weight difference, I Don’t think you could go wrong with either one!

Guys, you don’t want to hit rock bottom.

This is the exact truth! Rock bottom can bring irreversible damage and nobody wants that! Unfortunately, some do make it through the valley, but others don’t, I know as we lost a son 12 years ago. Same story, he was sitting on top of the world with everything going great, then gone! Watch and listen closely at the ones you love and take time for them! Get them help if you hear or see something! My thoughts and prayer to you TFG.

Congratulations Jon! Welcome to the club!

Glad to hear Thielbar is still going to pitch. My son grew up with him while his late mother did daycare for my two kids! Good luck Caleb!

Rod & Reel at Sioux Narrows was a decent place. Myself and 6 others were there as guests for a veteran/first responders week outing. We were a mixed group of 12 and they did have some stuff for kids.

Still no shoulders? It’s been such a narrow drive!

I have used JJV’s best for the last decade with great success. They have one for glass and painted aluminum, one for raw mill finish aluminum like toon’s!

Dutchboy, try googling “extendable fiberglass fishing pole”. You might find something that will work.

Yea, fleet farm sells those telescopic poles!

We spider rig crappies here in AZ as well as MN. They hear or feel the electric noise so We run 20’, 18’ or 16’ poles off the front. Set two pedestal seats up front. One guy lifts the pole while the other nets the fish with a long telescopic handle. So to answer your question, yes it will work!

Great job by all!

I bought 3 Enerakkus 12 volt 100ah from Amazon for a little over 200 each. Ran in 36 volt system. First time out went well for 2 hours and died. Second time out did the same and would not take a charge even with jumping. Long story short bought another one while trying to return bad battery.
New battery works well and got a couple full days on water so far and running well.
A lot of hassle and customer service was horrible on return but just received refund from company through Amazon today. They have no stated return policy. So happy with that. Time will tell

If you order off of Amazon and you get a bad battery, it’s much easier to exchange them.

Here’s an inexpensive one that Will Prowse has tested and he was very impressed. He has a u tube channel where he tears apart lithium batteries.

Good video, thanks for sharing!

Yep, it’s all about turnovers! One can’t win giving up the ball 3 times!

Fishing

Tom been guiding up there for years and in the last few years he’s been running a AQ tritoon. Like stated above, every watercraft has their limits!

Driftmaster. I fabricated my own T bar that they’re mounted to!

All of our crappie fishing is out of the bow, spider rigging! So I’m no help with long lining. I think your setup looks good!

Good work!
