where'd he go?

the guy had like 25,000 posts, seriously.  Either he retired and Boar took his job with 2 hours of breaks or Smurfy took his union job.  He always used the term "one" to much.  Seemed like a good dude.

I always liked Harvey.  I posted on the Silly town thread a lot and he was always a gentleman.  Didn't always agree with him but he was a guy I could have a beer with and I don't say that about everybody [I would about the guy's on this thread].  He was also helpful in other threads as far as sharing his knowledge.  I'm pretty much here, Vikings, Northshore, and the Grindstone thread, so I don't know what happend to him.  Hope everything is going good for him.  good luck.

I have wondered how many good people we lost after the split.  I know some have not been posting nearly as much and some have stopped visiting altogether.  I stopped posting and visiting for awhile but some of the cooking forum stuff is what drew me back.  Still don't post much about fishing stuff since there isn't as much of that talk going on any more. 

I know some guys also picked one page either the FM side or the HSO side and don't cross over much.  The FM page is pretty sad with very little posting so I rarely ever visit any more.

Pierre Page was the old North Stars coach, is that what you mean?

I told my wife the story about her paper towel holder last night.  She looks at me like I'm some derangd loonatic that communicates with a bunch of other deranged loonatics on this page.  I just tell her that I am but you guys aren't.

    • 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?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
