What about a bad motormount? It’s something to consider. I had a vehicle do someting similar, replaced a bunch of obvious stuff, the shop finally tracked to a bad motormount. It wasn’t obvious that it was broken either. The motor never jumped around or anything when you tried powering braking it.
Look into using a residential air to air heat exchanger. Prolly a couple hundred CFM. Something like a Broan Model HRV-190S. Hang it inside. This will temper your makeup air. Fab up a sheetmetal cone or hood to capture the cig smoke. The wall penetrations would be pretty simple. Cord and plug 120v power also.
Driving the 494 strip near the airport with the fam in the truck the other day. Had this kid driving a street racer BMW smoke by us with his foot on the floor, all the sudden out of nowhere boom, a state trooper blows past me cutting across 3 lanes like I’m standing still, had his ass pulled over in no time.
Yep got a good chuckle that day.
If your planning on heating the garage all winter you’ll want that vapor barrier.
If your you’re only going to run the heater when your out there, you can get away without it.
My Edge has an all aluminum transom, no wood. Not sure about the Lunds.
If you love the boat, get yourself set up with a nice snap on cover and a set of mooring whips. It’s gonna cost you some cash, but you’ll sleep good at night.
Especially when the weather man is calling for overnight storms.
Canvas Craft made this storage cover for me. I believe the material is called Aqualon. I’m really happy with it.

If your boat is a 2016, tell them you want a 2017 console. Alumacraft redesigned it in ’17 you may like it.
I pulled the trigger on 185 Edge with a 150 Yamaha last summer.
Love the boat, very happy. Works great fishing with guys and a great family boat. I Added the ski pylon for pulling the kids tubing, works great.
I hear alot of guys don’t like the live well configuration, but it doesn’t bother me any.
Nice thing about the yamaha’s is they come standard with the seastar power steering as well as a remote mounted water separator. Not sure if the Suzuki’s are equipped similar or not.
Not too happy with the Alumacraft cover my dealer provided, rain
water would leak into the boat up front near the trolling motor. Water would then run down into the front storage compartments getting everything inside the storage wet. If your boat is gonna sit outside a lot, be careful in your cover selection.
My buddy bought an Edge from Cabelas last summer as well, they use Canvas craft covers, much nicer than mine.
Make it a drive on/drive off trailer. Replace the rear and mid cross members with strait steel. Weld in some C channel below the new cross members to store the ramp underneath when not in use.
I keep records of what I can and garden notes. have records back to 2003 I believe. looking at them last nite I’d say my average start date to till and plant is around the 3rd week of april.

Would you expect that start date to hold true this year?
My kids want to do a garden this year and I’ve never done one before.
Will the insight pro work on a HDS Gen I unit.
Cottage Grove is privately owned 
Call the Iowa Dealers Unit and communicate your concern.
That will get their attention.
I use Comet cleaner. I’ll take and sprinkle it on the ground creating a loop around the perimeter of the boat. I once heard the mice wont cross it. If you don’t want to go around the whole boat, then you could just sprinkle around the trailer tires.
So I have to wait for the check engine light to come on (by running the engine) in order to get the codes again. I’m also trying to limit myself from running the engine any more than is necessary, so as not to make anything worse.
Doesn’t the computer store those codes even tho the light is not on.
Can you get the truck to an auto parts store like auto zone. They will read codes for free. Maybe their reader will provide a little more info.
I’d say something with a minimum 10ft width.
We found 8ft width got a little tight for us.
Cool. Thanks for the tip Will.
I’m definitely gonna be riggin some shiners in the near future.
I pull spinners quite a bit, also drag leeches, riggin shiners is one of those things I haven’t done.
Thanks for the reply.
question for you guys.
I’m assuming your talking about draging shinners correct?
how do you set up/fish your rigs with shinners?
I would think the challenge would be getting the shinner to swim straight?
Please fill me in here as I’m missing part of the deal.
Thanks
Are you required to have brakes on that trailer?
Nice!
Yep the black one. I stopped at GM after work tonight & checked’em out. Seemed pretty nice. Not looking to spend the doe on the SNOSUIT. Thinkin the icesuit may work good.
I’ve had (2)atv’s over the last few years. Neither one of them started all that well on those really cold mornings.
I saw on the news today the Sheriff said they found an empty pop can stuck in the exhaust pipe.
Ya that, and they always fly up on you at full speed, then kick it into neutral at the last second.
Your fist thought is this guy is about to hit me, then you realize it’s the DNR and he’s standing on your boat.
It’s a fine line to walk in order to protect the resource.
They also asked if I had a cooler on board, I didn’t, but I got the feeling they would have checked that as well.
Great post. I’d be interested in hearing how the pros rig up their boards, preferred manufacturer, release types, run the tattle tale, etc.
Definitely higher fines and stiffer penalties! There needs to be an “Aggravated” or “Gross Intentional” level attached when these guys are busted soo far over the limit. The fine per fish needs to tripple or more when you are that far over the limit.
