Hard to say.  Sometimes those old motors are just one problem after another.  Usually nothing major, but if you don’t like working on motors, that’s no fun.  I’d rather fish than work on stuff so it’s not a hard decision for me.

On the other hand, it may be a simple fix and you might be back on the water at a fraction of the cost of a new motor.  I was looking at new outboards the other day – in some dream world I’d love to upgrade from a 15 to a 25 on my Gheenoe.  That $3,000.00 price tag is a tough one to wrap my brain around.

Actually, it would be more accurate to say “explaining the $3,000.00 price tag to my wife” is a tough one to wrap my brain around.  The crucial importance of the “Domestic Tranquility Index” cannot be underestimated where boat expenditures are concerned.

Wise man.

Looks like the red rocket is almost ready for the water.

[Peter E.]

I agree, complete junk. I think instead I should be sent all off these rods and I will test them. Yeah.

Ok no but the point is that these sorts of things are great. It helps new anglers to get a feel for a rod before they buy it. Plus if they have feel like they have a good understanding of what they are after, then going into a fly-shop isn’t as intimidating for some people. I don’t think anyone takes it as gospel, and I’m all for more available information that may help get people into the sport.

Besides, what makes one opinion more valid than another?

[Peter E.]

You could have some made. I have a friend that does that sort of thing.

[Peter E.]

I saw that on the boulders, not a bad idea.

[Peter E.]

I’ll be more than happy to help.

[Peter E.]

You fish at least four days.

[Peter E.]

Thanks and not a problem, hopefully someone from the board can give it a good home.

[Peter E.]

I dont think so. Your interview with Tom from Orvis was in it and so was the article about the Napa River. That one was my favorite since my family is spread out in California and we had discussed those rivers this summer and if they were ever going to be helped.

[Peter E.]

Thanks Tim, I should be all but done glassing the outside by the end of the day. This one will be a solo, and I think I will be able to get the weight

pull saw and retrieval bumper not included. (disclaimer)

[Peter E.]

Nice to see a little warmwater love. Would you look at the tail on that first fish though!

[Peter E.]

I still have a good bit of two part Z-Poxy so until I run out of that, that’s what I use.

[Peter E.]

I always epoxy mine on. It makes all the difference in the world.

[Peter E.]

Hey are you guys using a floating or sinking line?

[Peter E.]

Nice. What river is that?

[Peter E.]

Is that new dry rub recipe something you can share or how about a trade.

I’m starting to think that this guy isn’t here for the fishing related info., just all of our recipes.

[Peter E.]

I like it, very nice.

[Peter E.]

I’d eat it.
