I can deal with the snow, but the ice sucks with the truck, I can’t get enough weight on the rear end to keep traction, take about 1,500 lbs. over the rear axle to get a grip on ice with the traction tires even. Glad it’s gone now, warmed up to 41 degrees and rain. Normal weather for the NW.

Roads weren’t to bad, went part way in 4WD then then back to normal for the rest of the trip.

Thought I was going to get out early and get them and got surprised with freezing rain and ice, so I’ll have to wait until the temps warm a bit till I can get up my driveway since it’s all uphill and an empty one ton just doesn’t grip ice real well even with 4wd.

Like I said when I have to replace 4 of them in the boat, ouch!

twilliams With the waters I go to it is the ability to cut through the rough waters. Lake of the Woods, Oahe, Truman, Lake Erie and others. I’ve had several rides in 4-1/2 footers, it ain’t fun.

I might have it done all at one time, fortunately I get discounts on parts since we buy fleet parts. I let other people get their hands dirty with the tires and batteries.

I got 4 Interstate AGM’s in my boat! That will be an expensive replacement in a few more years, ugg and an, uff-dah!
Got a Dirty Max Deesillfiter too. I replaced my 2 wet cell batteries maybe after 6 to 7 years. She will be 10 year old on Valentines Day!

Time for a trip to get new ones tomorrow, guess 9 years was pushing it with the cold snap. Got to love AGM batteries though, long lasting in my diesel.

I haven’t bought a ticket or followed it in forever

At $55,000 for the bare boat and motor I’m seeing those dreams slip by faster and faster. Since I just ordered a new truck, buying momma a new jeep in a couple years and wanting to build an elderly accessible home and have it paid off by the time I retire in 20 years is a very tall task. Not to mention life can change in a blink of an eye. Let’s hope it’s a good change and I win the power ball tonight!!!

cdavis Charlie, thank you! If it weren’t for a small amount of dock rash on both sides, I’d have to put it up on blocks in a barn somewhere and throw a tarp over her for another 30 years, call it an investment.

My brother in law used to sell them until he sold out and retired, I should have bought one when he was still in business but was just not ready yet.

I’ve always been around a boat since I was 4 years old I believe, I’m 67 now. I joke that I could be divorced and the wife would leave the house but the boat would still be in the drive, by the way, there is no chance of a divorce.

Desperate for cash I sold it for $14,000 and they are selling them now for $50,000 plus.

Both are 8 years newer than my old 1999 Lund 1950 Grand Sport. Both are 2007 Lund 1950 Tyee with the same motors and kicker motors. Everything is the same except, one had jump seats in the back rear corners (Grand Sport) and the other one did not (Magnum). I had called Green Bay on a Fri and was told it was contractually sold on the night before. So I bought the one that was close to home here, the Magnum. To my surprise the boat doesn’t even have enough hours on the main motor to even say it is broke in yet! 43.5 hours on it, 50 is considered broke in. The previous owner bought it before retiring but then took sick. He passed away and the widow hadn’t dealt with it until a couple of years later. Well lookie what I found!
