Here is Jon Thelen’s new 205X Comp Sport outfitted with a new 4.2 Liter 350hp Yami and a 9.9 kicker. The rear pods are designed so you still have the lower transom to mount all your transducers and stuff onto. It should fly with an option to hang 400hp on it.

Looking at that picture it looks like its a wishbone tounge on a tilt trailer. It happened to me many years ago on an 8×10 tilt sledbed I owned.
The bolt body itself will be corroded entirely into the aluminum sleeve so getting that out won’t be viable.
Your easiest method of repair is to shift the entire bolt pattern approx 2″ and get into new metal and redrill everything and cut down the pivot tails if required. Cut yourself a couple of new sleeves using pipe for the inner tubing and remount everything up.
In the short term my new snowmobile and sxs just got more expensive!
Give it a few weeks and everything will be back to .normal and Big Don will gain some more free benefits for the American people.
All I know is I just bought a 10″ Lite Flite drill and tested it out with my newest 12amp Forge battery on my 1200 inch pound Milwaukee (2804) drill and I drilled my (10) house holes thru 36″ of ice. It stalled a couple of times but that’s good because it was about to rip the side handle of the drill out of my hands. I see now that the newest Milwaukee (2903) series drills have 1400 inch pounds of torque so that tells me its time for me to buy that and retire my propane 10″ auger that I have been using for good.
I drilled close to (30) 8″ Lite Flite holes on Red last weekend thru 3′ of ice and and my 12 amp forge was still at 2 bars.
Thanks- I didn’t even know there was an IF version. A 10′ cable would make it nicer but a guy can always trim them down if they wish.
34-37″ currently on Red across a few mile area that I have punched holes at. You can still get thru with an 8″ lite flite and a drill if your not on top of any snow.
I’m trying to do all of the things I want to do in life long before I retire.
I don’t need to be the guy with tons of $$ in the bank and no ambition to spend any of it when I’m 65.
I have multiple friends with plenty of $ that just retired or are nearing retirement that are no longer able to or have lost the desire to hunt and fish like they did when they where in the 40’s and 50’s
What is the replacement rig going to be??
It’s cold and still making ice – Drilled the house holes yestetday around 6pm with a 10″ Jiffy with a 12″ extension and the auger handles were touching the floor of the house. Going to have to either pre-drill or add another extension very soon.
Sadly my holes closed up to around 7-8″ dia already on the first 8-12″ of water because the sides are closing in which will either force me to redrill or move the shack later today.
^^ I agree to some extent but the Forge batteries haven’t been out for too long so the shelf life shouldn’t come into play. Also Walmart provides the return policy. All the sellers are iffy to what your getting when everything comes from China.
Rotella T6 synthetic oil change is 15 qrts of oil every 15k miles.
Fuel filter every 30k for me but I have went 50k plus oil the fuel filter before without any noticable issues.
I spent 3 days last week riding the Black Hills of SD. The trails and the views where great once again. I have riden out there 3 times prior and have always had perfectly smooth trails as long as they have decent snow.
By this weekend the bulk of the northern half of MN will also have good conditions which will benefit the entire midwest and hopefully the dealers that are sitting on lots of inventory.
I own 3 of those same drill heads and have had the same happen to mine. Once the battery’s get around 3 years old, they are much more prone to stop, blink. and/or overheat. This is more common with the smaller 5 amp battery’s and I have went through over a dozen of them. I have also had the shifter slide into a torque setting which will cause the drill to stall out with any decent load. Once the battery’s get weak they will die out in seconds and still blink 3-4 bars.
I would carry another battery with to verify if thats the issue first.
Finally got er out.
Had it WOT across the lake and only 89 mph
It’s looks like that is the 130hp version of the 900 ace based on the hood. If so that’s all your going to get unless your on glare ice.
Sadly Doo’s dream meter is off approx 10% as well so 89 speedo is really around 80 gps.
I own an Eskimo 10″ propane and use it when I need to as well. I was just wondering if a guy could run a 10″ bit thru 2′ of ice with a hand drill. I know the 12 amp battery will power the 8″ Lite Flite with ease so I assume it would also turn a 10″ as long as you go slow.
In regards to drilling thick 30″+ ice and a Lite Flite it works good but you will need to peck more often to keep the chips out. I have drilled thru 40″ of ice at LOW multiple times with an extension up there. If you don’t clear the chips out the fins will actually bend over and the hole thing will lock up in the hole. One time I thought it was stuck forever!
Has anyone tried a 10″ Pistal Bit or converted a 10″ Lite Flite to work on a Millwakee M18 drill?
I have 8″ Lite Flite but want a 10″ option for my permenant house holes without jumping into a 40 V setup.
If you would like a 304 s/st top custom built just let me know. I can build you any size and shape of top/drain board you want. I can even label it NSF if you wish.
The most common used clean dishtables you will find will be 30″ deep and have a 8″ tall backsplash and a 1.5″ wide x 3″ tall rolled front edge. They are designed to have the drain board at 34″ AFF to adapt to a standard dishmachine opening. You will need a 20″ deep “Y direction” sink for the standard opening turndown that’s formed into every table.
PM me if you have any questions.
Sitting in a heated fishouse and watching TV without having a sippy now and then doesn’t sound right to me.
Bidennomics almost made me tip over at the liquor store the other day though.
How many times are you going up in the next seven weeks?
It’s TBD of course but hopefully it would be used every weekend between family members and friends.
I will make some calls to verify my options to leave it near or on shore.
I don’t want to haul it back and forth because I also want to be able to haul up my sxs or snowmobile on the weekends that I’m there for mobility purposes. I can only pull 1 trailer at a time…
I’m leaning towards a big trailer curious how it is backing it off while connected?
I can drive mine up and off the trailer in 30 seconds so that’s not an issue. As long as you have guides on the trailer and ramps everything stays aligned just fine.
The biggest hassle is strapping everything down once it’s all loaded.
Depending on what your trailer flooring is it helps to have plastic down on both the skid and the flooring. I have a 80″ wide x 13′ long x 1200lb aluminum skid house that I can physically push on the trailer by hand. You won’t move it uphill but you could push it off and side to side if you wish. Otherwise a front winch like Bearcat had mentioned is a fairly simple add on. I also drive mine on and back it off while hitched up with my sxs but I have a 24′ trailer and use every available ” of it.
A Defender with tracks on it is around 75″ wide which isn’t the issue with most setups since there is approx an 78-80″ wheel well ID if the build is correct.
The issue normally is the door height.
SxS with tracks will vary a bit in width depending on brand and model. For a Can Am Defender with Can Am tracks the answer would be no.
Do you have a specific SxS in mind?
Legend Outdoors has made some that a fits a Defender with tracks before. Very expensive all aluminum build though. You need close to a 90″ door height.
I just saw that on the Gram.
Does this mean I’ll be able to a smokin hot deal on a couple SxS’s?
If you can still locate a ’24 model the big discounts are going on now. I just upgraded mine in Oct and saved myself around 4K.
How much is it per square ft for a fully finished 16′ tall pole building with in floor heat, electrical, and plumbing nowadays?
^^^ I’m patiently waiting for mayor Pete to finish breast feeding his kid so he can tell us what’s going on.
Our current inept administration is to chickenshit to tell the American people what is really going on, so they are going to keep lying about it.
I’m here now along with the other 1000+
Does it come with a fire extinguisher standard or is that an option?
The fire extinguishers are required for the Poo’s, not the Doo’s.
