    I ran a 2016 300 G2 worst motor I ever owned. In one season I had it in the shop 3 times for over $11k in warranty work and each repair was 2-3 weeks to be completed. Best thing I ever did was send that rig down the road.

    We do Aspahlt and concrete tear out and prep typically 3-4 driveways a week. I own a excavation company. We hire out the replacement driveway. (We specialize in gravel work) right now concrete is around $5-6/sq for for 4” thick with rebar. Aspahlt is going for $3-$3.75/sq ft that’s a 3” pour and compacted to 2.5” we typically charge $1/sq ft for tear out and disposal. That should give you some numbers to compare with when you get quotes.

    I have been catching and seeing large numbers of perch on my camera on several mud flats in the last 2 weeks seems the perch hatch is certainly up this year. With that being said I have had marginal (walleye) success but it’s been very location dependent. I have been on 7 different mud flats in the past 2 weeks and 3 flats were very slow. Still graphed fish but inactive. The flats I have had better success on have been in the range of 15-25 fish a day. mostly 17-24” range with occasional larger fish. Dead stick has out produced jig and deeper has been better 29-31’ certainly have to work more for the bites but there are still active schools working around out there.

    This driveway is a good comparison. Homeowner decided to use crushed concrete for majority of the driveway and parking area up to he choose recycled asphalt.

    I own a contractor company locally in North branch. We do 1-2 gravel driveways and parking pads every day. Material is going to mostly depend on your location and what is available in your area at a fair price. Below I listed the top three options in order. Also if you are interested in any gravel work I’d be happy to get you an estimate. Just text me if you would like. 763-777-0084.

    1.) asphalt millings
    2.) recycled asphalt (some places have a mix of asphalt and concrete)
    3.) crushed concrete (also referred to as crushed conbit, class 5 recycle and a few other names)

    We primarily work in the north metro up to Mille Lacs I have a pulse on most gravel pits from Blaine/Coon rapids up to aitkin. So I can narrow down best price and material options quickly in your area.

    I owned a 2016 300 G2 worst motor I ever owned. Very complex to work on I was told by a very reputable mechanic BRP certified that fixed mine 4 times in 2 seasons each time was 3 weeks off the water water for BRP to approve warranty and ship parts. And the issues were very serious issues ignition cutting out at full throttle, mid section steering coming loose under power etc. a buddy had a 2016 250 G2 tiller and 2 warranties in 2 seasons as well. Similiar issues. Maybe we both had lemons… not sure. But I won’t ever hang one on my boat again. I also had a hell of a time selling that boat everybody wanted the boat but nobody wanted the motor!

    My last boat I had wave pros my new boat has air waves. I just took two trips to Erie and on several occasions my air waves bottomed out. I adjusted the pressure and turned it up above my weight rating of 230lbs and still bottomed our on occasion. Yes it was extremely rough but my wave pros never bottomed put on me once. Both are good but I would purchase wave pros!

    Craig yes wahkon has people fishing as far out as half moon island on sleds. I did some checking in the bay and had consistently 6” or more. I didn’t venture out to half moon however. If you are looking for pike the weed lines in wahkon have plenty of them with the occasional walleye mixed in as well. Good luck.

    I see the concern with the weeds but I know several seniors with knee and hip replacements that are unable to kneel or get under a boat to get these weeds. Most are responsible and either pressure wash them when they get home or have a family or friend help clean them off. I wouldn’t be quick to judge and get upset with this until I knew his plan of action. Hopefully he has one to take care of it!

    Had a very good weekend of fishing well over 60 fish a day shiners rigging and jigging was best. Shallow gravel at dawn and when it was rough deep gravel mid day. Fished sat, sun, and Monday. Sunday was the slowest mid day with sun and little wind. Morning was still great but midday was much slower.

    I will be there Sat-Mon staying at hunters point. Game plan pitching weed lines, gravel to sand transitions and rigging some break lines all tactics focused on finding spots away from crowds.
