We're just getting started with real fast offshore boating in northern Michigan, that's my wife and she goes faster then the Fountain.

Awesome !!!!^^^^


I shoveled my roof today. 8:30-4:00PM in light rain mid20*F. I can't move right now.

But I will be on the lake and trails (sled)in a few days.

You'd crap what we use for fuel in sleds. One winter I burnt $4k in my sled,not counting wife's and kid's. Granted that was a great winter. Family across the street has 5 sleds. He must have spent more that winter. :)

Edit in: My wife told me I was wrong.$4k was for the 3sleds. She said I was around $2800. I believe her, my memory for such things not so good. LOL.

4 k. Devided by 2.50 witch is fair. That's 1600 gallons. I know I didn't run that much through my 750s. But whatever. On a snowmobile. Costs me 25 bucks for 100 miles. On my 2016 doo . Sounds like less snowmobiling more boating. 5 bucks a gallon halts our economy. , load the boat . No way I'd pay 5 just for convienence im writing this half buzzed though up north houghton mi snowmobiling , not trying to offend.

Except if the DOT nails him for transporting gasoline in unapproved containers or worse if he blows himself, his truck and his boat up trying to save $150!

:food-smiley-007:

I love seeing this type of comment........then consider EVERY Cigarette, Outerlimits and Nortech hit salt water before they even get delivered to their owners! You can add Pantera/Apache to those "icky salt water boats" also. Then for any of those boats built in Michigan/Missouri just figure any FPC poker run events they attend once again dunks them into NaCL. I like to watch those FPC poker run videos looking for signs of angst among the participants as they are flying along thinking of the damage being done to their now worthless boats during winter months!

Best trick in the marine sales industry: Take those salt water boats to LOTO and sell them as "freshwater only" despite the FPC sticker on the deck!

WTF Steve? What causes that kind of wind speed? I'm guessing there's not much sledding going on up there.

steve00 12-28-2017 08:17 AM
