After finally breaking down and buying another wheeler for the wife and daughter, I am glad we did it!!! They had a lot of fun saturday. We rode by akeley from 11:00-5:30 and there was no whinning, complaining etc., at all!! My 4 year old loves hitting the mud puddles and the 8 year old likes the "jumps". Now I just have to get better with directions. Got lost at the end and a little nervous as we were down to 1/4 tank of gas. Just have to replace the rear wheel bearings and back up this weekend for some more hopefully "warmer" riding!!! I'll try to post some pics.. laugh

chas, great to hear they had fun. I have Deer Hunted and ridden wheelers up by Akeley for years. Great spot and not many riders out there! Pick up a snowmoble Map at one of the stations in town and have it on the wheeler. Thats a big area up there and you can get lost without a map. There's a new little bar about 3-4 miles up hwy 64 out of Akeley back off the highway you can ride right to on the wheelers for lunch, kind of nice and I think they open up at noon. Make sure you have a ceil phone with little kids to call help and check for service when you get there. Have fun! smile Leech~~

Oh yes the Stompin Grounds, that was the name of it. Pretty nice place for being out in the middel of no where! You can also ride into town, but I hate riding the ditches that far with kids hanging on the back!

chasin, My kids are all grown up and off on their own. I sold one of my wheelers, and kept one but do not really have anyone to go riding with. If you wouldn't mind a third wheel that knows the trails up there like that back of my hand. Maybe I could hookup with your crew to go for a day ride sometime this summer? I keep my wheeler up at our camper in Brainerd so it is always ready to go and only a hr from the Stompin Grounds! smile Leech~~

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
