Hoping to hit the bay 4/26 for a shakedown run. After a bad easter sunday and birthday I found out that my block cracked over the winter. Tore it down and welded it back up last night. All seems well now after 3hrs of work and a late night repairing it. Now to give it a good clean up from the work and putting it in the lake. Cant wait thought I was done for the season before it even started. cpmaple see ya's on the pond

Glad to hear of your repair, hope it holds up... We went 1 for 2 yesterday getting motors going on a rig I worked on... Starter issues on the big motor.. Hate VT winters.

Headed to the bay in the morning well be three of us on board. My step daughter is bitting at the nail to get out there after the salmon along with myself. Taking a gentleman along from IL. that is here on shutdown. Hoping to pick up a few fish not many reports but will give it a try never know. Gonna start outside of the trench and work the shore line down to brook and then go from there. Hoping the motor does well with the repair tomorrow will tell.
