Personally just hoping my new sled finally has all the issues worked out and that I can actually ride my sled this season and not be running back and forth to the dealer with the rental sled they let me used. Will be adding skid plates and a few other goodies.

Very nice congrats.

Yes it is really smoky in northern IL today.

Thank you 😊

Yes you are correct about the swim platform. Actually that was really nice because I use to water ski behind the boat. I had to learn to pull myself up out of the water salmon skiing. The 4-cylinder didn't have the torque to pull me out on a single ski. When I would get behind a boat with some...

Very nice Switzer craft. Don't see many of those anymore. Seeing that reminds me of my much younger days. The grandparents had a 75 Switzer. I believe it was 18' with a 140 HP mercruiser. The only problem that seems to keep happening was the points and condenser would go bad. Besides that...

I went to the sled roundup. Even the residents get into it showing there displays of older sleds in there yards.

You know what they say the best boat is somebody's else's boat you can use. Like Gary said the best 2 days of owning a boat is the day you buy it and the day you sell it.😁 Personally we have been really lucky with our Crownline all it does is run year after year.

Will be there tomorrow. They always have some nice really clean old sleds. The weather looks like it's going to be perfect.

That was the age of no reality shows. How nice was that. Like many have said that was a great show. From memory that was a great night of a lot of good shows on NBC. His bits in Saturday night live were funny too. Rest in peace

Yes trails are very twisty in Vilas. Seems like you are turning the bars more then keeping them straight. This why I will really being paying attention to how good the new EXT is from cat. I am really interested in seeing how much assistance the power steering gives. I have been wanting power...

Amazing how reliable they are when the whole sled was built by Yamaha. Most people I talk to who own pure Yamahas still love there sleds. Glad you are still having good luck with yours. They seem like the perfect sled for riding in the U.P but just a little too much for riding in Vilas where I...

Abe no doubt it was the weight of the sleds that hurt them. I probably rode 4 or 5 nytros trying to like the sled. The dealer in Tomahawk let me demo one on the trails and the Bearskin was whooped out and I couldn't help but notice the weight. I was a Yamaha guys hands down until they went 4...

I agree with you on what Yamaha could of made. I feel when there bigger 4 strokes didn't sell as good as they were hoping and everyone else found a way to make 2 strokes make emissions they called it quits. They quit with sleds well before making the deal with cat. It's too bad I always thought...

That 900 is a sweet little engine. Enjoy and now the long wait until winter.😔
