I don't think you can go wrong with any of the resorts up here!! They all have nice docks, food and drink, and great views of the lake! Hopefully somebody else will give you more info. We just stop there and eat and drink. NO COMPLAINTS HERE! good luck!

We stayed there last summer and I don't have many complaints. The staff, with the exception of one dock boy, do not seem to be very friendly. The cabin was nice and I love having your own dock so close. We had a good time except the night that lightning struck a tree near the cabin and starting our on board charger on fire. I was able to catch it in time and just ruined the charger along with creating a mess from the extinguisher. This year we may try Sha Shas, you seem to get more for the money and they seem much nicer to deal with.

Island View Lodge is a nice resort. I have a hand full of clients that stay with them very year. Not sure what time of year you are planning to visit Rainy but I would get your cabin or room reserved asap, there are only a few lodges and they all fill up fast. Let me know if you need any more questions.

I made my reservations this weekend, they recently had a group cancel so they had plenty of openings for the end of June.

Matt is there any place to rent a Lakemaster chip for Rainy Lake? I don't really want to spending $100 on a new one just to use it once.

I don't know of any place the rents the chip. What type of cell phone do you have. If you have an Iphone or android phone you can download the navionics map for about 15.00. If all else fails shout me an email and we can try to work something out.

If it was me, I would invest a few bucks into buying the chip. As you stated above, you don't want to loose a lower unit or run up on a rock pile. Just think of it as a little ins. policy rider for your boat for the week.

Also, if you enjoy the trip I am sure you will want to come back and now you will already have the chip.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
