Lol, maybe then I'll get my second ever turkey! Although I think that's our resident bearded hen. I think I see her beard kind of swung back against her breast. So she's off limits. She was the only bird I had in front of me this past spring. Twice.

Great read! I like your writing style.

Happy Birthday, have a great day guys!

Yup, hehe. Already saw the decal kit on ebay. There's a 15 hp merc O/B on Craigslist right now with a 9.9 cowl. I'd bet that boat has seen some Hemlock fishing time.

None nearby.

That's my problem. Serial number plate is gone.

And here I thought you played baseball.

These are the two I'll be keeping. Got kind of a big brother, little brother thing going on. But different mothers. They're older, but much more affordable that way!

Yeah, shouldn't have done that, lol. I really need to stop looking at Craigslist! I have another small boat (but too small for me). Going to swap trailers and sell the smaller rig. Hopefully will be very little out of pocket after that's done. I keep the small boat for HP/boat length restriction lakes like Canadice and Hemlock. Plus I just like a small no-frills boat. So I'll probably sell the OB at some point and look for a nice 9.9. At the moment I have 3 boats. And zero time to use any of them. At the moment.

I'm going with same buck, and a big boy at that! We'll all know more when we see the pic with his rack in your hands in a couple of months. Go get him!

Picked this boat up in a private sale yesterday. The seller thought it was a mid-2000's outboard, but he wasn't the original buyer and really didn't know the year for sure. The boat and trailer are 2005 and 2006, so I figure he was just guessing. No serial number tag where it's supposed to be. Need to take care of a couple of minor issues, and without the serial number, I'm at a temporary loss for ordering parts. I've never owned a Honda O/B so it's not a strong suit for me. My limited research makes me think it's around a '98. If I can pin down the year, I may be able to narrow down the serial number range a bit. It's a 15 hp 4 stroke long shaft, manual start, manual trim, with a 6 amp alternator connection. Did we have a boating sub-forum at one time and I can't find it, or did I lose another one of my marbles?

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

I like seeing your progress pics! Always wanted to have a pond dug, but it never moved up our priority list. Hope you get tons of enjoyment out of it!

Got the email as well and I'm in. Had fun last year and looking to post a bit better showing this season!

I had a GFI go bad a couple of years ago when the power went out. It came on and off a few times before going out completely for a few hours. When it came back on, the GFI was tripped and it wouldn't completely reset. Swapped it out and all was well after. In March we had a power failure and it took out our electric dryer. Had to replace that as well. I really should look into surge protection.

I'll see if I can get out there before dark tonight and take an underside pic.

What might this be?

I'll have to read up. I have the same smoker.

Hoping she recovers smoothly!

Congratulations on the new place, looks great!

You're going to have to fight that individually. I just went through that successfully and got a bit educated in the process.

Not that I'm counting or anything...
