Thanks for the welcome Rick. Looking forward to a great season and judging by the weather today it won't be long until the flurries are flying. I'm already thinking of those last fall days of lunker walleye fishing, putting away the boat, and taking the sled out for some excitement. smile.gif

Paul-
You race(d)? Cool! Now the question is....what do you race?
I have a decent sled, but is seems that I have turned my high(er) performance sled into an ice fishing machine instead of actually riding trails.
This cooler weather is a sign of the times...I just winterized my "walleye" boat all day yesterday frown.gif Man, summer flew by. It is duck season soon and at least I can still sneak out in the duck boat for some walleyes.
Congrats on being a moderator and Forum Guide Pro!

Cd, Thanks and great to hear from you. Can understand how you feel about putting the boat away, it's a tough call.

My current ride is a '97 Polaris Indy. I have always had Polaris, not that I'm one of those guys that says it's the best out there and "everything else sucks." Just that's what I started on and I never was given a reason to change because of the performance and handling that I could get out of them. I don't race anymore, gave it up a two years ago as it's a young mans sport and the body couldn't take it anymore. smile.gif

The only thing that kept me going that long was the technological advances that they have made. I remember the first sled that I raced was the first prototype of the Polaris Indy Triple Cylinder liquod cooled version. They guarnteed me it would do a 95 miles an hour. What they didn't tell me was that above 70 miles an hour it was like riding a bull in a rodeo only they didn't give you that little rope to hang on to.

      New boat question

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
