lol you can!

Thank you the comment. I’d heard that they were really well made. This winter will be our first use since I built the hearth and did all of the stone work over the last few months. Glad they have worked out so well for you!

Ah nope!

Everyone in that boat are almost 50 years old. No kids. They are there, just out of camera. Thank you for the comment.

Thank you. It is rare these days sadly but it is so important. We all need down time and relaxation. Thank you for the comment.

Trout failures! Been there done that! I’m a terrible trout fisherman. I do try sometimes… but it’s ugly. Thanks for the comment fellow Mainer! Good luck!

They sure are!

Well, my boat throttle and outboard are for a fuel injection setup so there is no choke. I’m pretty sure we don’t have the same set up. I would call the engine manufacturer with a vin #. In sure they can help you with your parts question.

Four is the max I’ve had. Handled just fine. Either boat is a great option. I went with this due to its size and maneuverability. The deck and openness of the 1860 is pretty impressive though. Maybe it comes down to the cost in the end?

@@GrumpyInMaine1 Thanks for the reply I wont have more than 4 I just didn't know how well it did with 4 people. I do like the size of the 1860 just not so much the extra money.

It is a lot of fun all the while relaxing, which is the best these days. Been to Ellsworth more than once. Very pretty out that way. We are in southern Maine area. Near-ish to Newfield.

@@GrumpyInMaine1 Hope you have a great season. :)

@@GreyGhost120 Thank you! It has started off rather crappy so it can only go up from here. I hope your year is good one too!

@@GrumpyInMaine1 I haven't even had a bite yet hahahaha

Thank you.

Well I am glad that I am not the only out there that likes this boat for all of what it is and frankly, for what it isn't. Thank you for commenting.

lol… he’s obnoxious!

It is. I am pretty sure that is the C40. I have had nothing but excellent luck with them and for the money I think that they are fantastic.

Thanks for the watch and comment. Congrats on the 102! Slowly is a good approach to AP as it gets pricey quickly. The price point is excellent on the AT line up as the quality is there. I think that they are some of the best deals going.

Well, thank you! I appreciate that very much. Next one is the review on the same scope for astrophotography use. Hope that one is as well received! Thanks again!

Thank you for the comment. It is peaceful. We rarely go to busy places with heavy boat traffic and such. Really just like to relax and enjoy the outdoors. I’ll take a small quiet place over a mobbed and busy one any day!

Thank you for commenting. Yeah, the temps drop fast some nights. I have to say that summer evenings in Maine are really wonderful. Combine it with fishing of any kind just makes it that much better.

@GrumpyInMaine1 Amen brother! Summer evenings in Maine are so beautiful!

True! Now if there was something that could be done about Maine WINTER evenings....!

@@GrumpyInMaine1 We could try boycotting them.... works for everyone else in all sorts of situations.

It was cold!

He was completely fine lol

Yours truly kid

Glad you got a chuckle out of that!

Thank you for the kind words!

Well thank you very much for subscribing and for the compliments! It really does mean a lot to us. Tight lines to you as well!

@@GrumpyInMaine1 thank you

Thank you for the compliments! I use mainly the DJI OSMO action 3. I do have other cameras... most likely too many lol, but that is the one that I use the most. Also, thank you for noticing the quiet approach we take. We are hoping to maybe bring a little peace and serenity to anyone who stops by if we can. Sometimes I think we are all moving too fast and we forget to slow down. Thank you again.

Broke it in per mercury recommendations and break in schedule. Where all data is stored in the module for the outboard, if there was an issue in the future I would want them NOT to be able to try to blame me for not following their recommended break in guidelines and stick me with a repair bill. It was a C.Y.A scenario. But thank you for the comment!

Good thing you followed the break in guidelines. I know several people who didn't, only to have their warranties voided. Each motor has a computer that records your speed and time! @@GrumpyInMaine1

Ha! Nice! Well thank you very much! Glad you enjoy them!

Much love ❤

Thanks!

It was the last few minutes of a tough day on the water and Steve nailed one in the 12th round!

It was a tough day but we got a few!

It was close!

Thanks!

It was crazy. We were attacked lol. Damned cold too! Funny after the fact though! Thanks for the comment!

Thank you very much! Really appreciate the comment and the sentiment behind it!

Dang. Well, to be honest, we don't have a lot of stripers in our ponds here! Lol.

@@GrumpyInMaine1 gotta come out to the Maine coast brotha

I used to fish for stripers at the spurwink years back and out in the bay off of rte 88. Lots of fun! Been a long time since I’ve been out for them though.

As always, thank you for the comment. We uploaded since the storm is today here (we filmed last night) and I thought it was kinda time sensitive or it would have not come out until December. Too late.

It has been off and on. Weather is all over the place and so goes the fishing. Thank you for the comment as always. Your fishing improve down there?

@@GrumpyInMaine1 was wanting to go but va is on the rag i swear one day its cold one day its hot one day it snows a bit one day it rains cant ever get the right day to go on really lol but keep up the good work and by chance did you look in to googan rods and reels ?

If you can find the fish once they don't really move much even one season to the next, they just change what they are looking for to bite. Try topwater, Texas rigged worms, Neko rigs, spinnerbaits and jigs. Find what they are looking for and then build a system off of that. I haven't had time to try any new baits or rods and reels other than replacing one that I broke. I am looking into baits later this week though as the fall bite will be changing things and I am out of things from last year.

@@GrumpyInMaine1 i feel that i have not broke a rod yet thank god knock on wood but also im thinking about trying to get on youtube as well just dont have the funs to really put in to it i just turned 21 last may and man its been a hard life so far i cant work so try to get up on my feet just glad to see people doing what they love

@@skyleryates4076 Getting on UA-cam isn’t hard. You don’t need anything more than a phone these days and just start making videos. You don’t need complex things that cost a lot to start. What you need is the passion and the desire to do it. There are a lot of videos on here that can show you how to get up and going. Life can be hard for sure but it also changes all of the time too and sometimes it’s a change for the better. I certainly hope yours changes for the better. But as far as UA-cam goes, don’t think you can’t do it, like I said, it’s not that hard to get started. To eventually get to where things look better and sounds better it takes practice.

Thank you. Really appreciate the comment. We are going for peaceful in these videos.

Thank you! The bass are starting to hit on smaller offerings up here and topwater baits. Imperceptible fall transition taking place.

@@GrumpyInMaine1 ill keep that in mind ty

I use googan swim baits with under spin heads quite frequently but haven’t tried green rods. I’ll look them up. Thank you for the encouragement and the kind words. Good luck on your catfish adventure! Ours up here are too small to be fun sadly. Lol. Not like down where you are!

@@GrumpyInMaine1 the rods are the best i have found for bass fishing they feel super nice and there baits i use every time i go fishing and there back pack they make full of all there stuff

Interesting… I’ll look into them. Thanks again for the heads up, I’d never heard of them before.

@@GrumpyInMaine1 hey me one more time can you do reviews ?? on a reel for me i need to know if its good for a starting out bass fisher men its the 13 FISHING - Origin R1 if you can that would be amzing if not its ok

I have only done one review so far. In the future I will be doing many reviews. I can say that I know that 13 fishing makes pretty good stuff. I also know that for the money, they are excellent. The question is what type of reel are you looking to get? Baitcasting? Spinning? What type of water do you fish? Baits that you throw? There are a lot of things to think about and it can get complicated with purchasing fishing gear. It can also be very simple as well, get the best you can afford, take care of it and fish the hell out of it. Then when you re ready, get something else. I do many types of fishing so I have a lot of rods. 27 total. Baitcasting, spinning, tenkara and western fly. They all have a place. What are you wanting to do bass fishing wise?

Lol. Did I win something? Lottery?

A sweet honey fishing pal,....you should know !!!!!!@@GrumpyInMaine1

She’s wonderful lady for sure!

Depends. I use a bass pro medium heavy 7’ with a bass pro bait caster. Usually spooled with 20lb braid. Other times it’s a 2pc shimano convergence medium heavy with 15lb Diawa j braid on a abu Garcia black max bait caster reel. The 2 pc is great when you want to save space. Thank you for the question and the nice comment!

@@GrumpyInMaine1 no problem man hope you night is going well

This is true. You try and try and sometimes they just don’t play ball. Just got back a few minutes ago from smallmouth fishing… got two but the rest sat and watched us go by. I missed the lunch rush I think.

Thank you! Appreciate the comment.

That’s for sure. For all of the jigs and wacky worms out there nothing gets you going like a top water strike! Thank you for the comment!

@@GrumpyInMaine1 indeed, YW! 🤙👍🎣

Hi, Sorry for slow reply. UA-cam doesn't want to let me know when there is a comment. According to a speedometer app it does around 37 with two people in it without too much gear.I have not tried it solo with nothing else in the boat.

Wow. Well, thank you for that. I will check that later today. I would have assumed (we know how assumptions can work out) that they would have installed it right the first time. I have noticed that it cavitates easily when I try to trim it up from the lowest setting on the power trim. Hmmm. I appreciate the advice there. Thank you... much appreciated!

@@GrumpyInMaine1 that is exactly why I had them drop it down and the 1 hole difference did wonders on handling and top speed. Mercury recommends the 20" shaft engine to be mounted on a 20" transom height for the speed that engine can run. Your transom is 21" so you can only get so close.

@@michaeldurand9788 Yup.It is not mounted all of the way down. It is indeed mounted in the second hole down from the top.

@@GrumpyInMaine1 i called Tracker myself asking why they didn't have the engine setup the way Mercury recommends and I was told "we had the vessel certified with a 40hp engine". A 40hp and 75hp are 2 completely different animals at full rip and they did not care. They didn't even warranty the labor for dropping it down to as close as it needed to be.

@@michaeldurand9788 Wow. Well, that is disturbing actually. I would think that since they are the ones that produce the boat and offer it with the 75 that they would use the data for the specific engine when they mount it to the boat. One size doesn't always fit all. We really appreciate the info you've provided. I will be looking into this with Mercury and also Tracker Marine.
