hoggs222 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Is this the reindeer lake near the arctic circle? If so, you'll have fun! Lots of pig northern up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mille Lacs Guy Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Get a kwikpfyt mud flap system. This attaches to your receiver hitch and covers the length of the back of our truck and keeps rocks from flying up and hitting the boat. It is made of stainless steel and then has "brushes" for lack of a better term that block the rocks and gravel from hitting the boat. Do a google search and you will find it. It is spelled weird but that's the name of it. A lot of bass and walleye pros use this product on their tow vehicles. Dan JochumNPAA #269 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grousehunter Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 putting a boat bra on with also help. One of the places i go with my dad in canada has a long pretty bad gravel road and mud flaps and boat bra kept the boat looking perfect, but the trailer still looked horrible, tons of paint chips and small dents. Not sure how to solve the trailer problem, im sure that huge mud flap system with brushes will help with that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidCoast Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 WOW 125 miles on a dirt road... My only advice for you is, DRIVE REALLY SLOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxMN Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I'd do a full width brush type rock guard mud flap (we are getting one as well, do a search, there are several types) and what the heck a strip or two of duct tape on the leading edge of the trailer would not hurt. That's a lot of gravel...Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickeywing Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Does it really matter????? Every boat needs a couple battle scars. Sounds like the trip will be worth it. If it was too easy to get to, would the fishing be the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iffwalleyes Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Originally Posted By: MidCoast WOW 125 miles on a dirt road... My only advice for you is, DRIVE REALLY SLOW! Go fast. If you are going fast enough that you truck is floating it will then kick up less rocks . Seriously looking into a full mud flap. I have one but still have dings from the roads in Canada where I go. There are different types of boat bra the one size fits all that goes on the boat is a piece as far as I am concerned. It wouldn't work on my boat. But they do make screen devices don't know what they are called but they attach to your trailer I would look into those as a possible option.

Black_Bay Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 There's a few things that will help. Towtectors and Montana rockguards. Both have web sites. A good cover is essential also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Esboldt Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I nearly did a complete sandblast job of a trailer while duck hunting in Manitoba one year. 50 miles this way on gravel, 50 miles that way on gravel for 6 days. The boat however remained a beutiful shade of duck marsh camo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walleyeseeker Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I just checked on a price last night. Make sure you are sitting down. They quoted me $729.00 plus shipping. They had better work for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
