Here are Pete's pictures

Pete, sure text the pics. Thanks

Like the title says, I'd like a good condition 1 place trailer. Any brand is OK. I currently have a 2 place Triton & would like to downsize. Will buy outright or trade.

A friend took this of me in my '66 Shell Lake, L Winneconne just north of the bridge.

Looking out across the channel & marsh at Hidden Harbor, Winneconne

I don't remember purging the 1st generation 1100s (F & Jaguar chassis) but it almost rings a bell in the 2012 & later with the oil reservoir being built into the chain case. That was just when I was getting out of business. Sorry I can't help.

Overall I can't complain about WI. Grew up in IL, left at 20 & never considered returning. After a brief time in Miami, moved to WI (Prescott) in '83 & worked in the Twin Cities until '05. Spent 12 years in Northern WI before going to Northern MN in '17. Covid did away with that job so here I am...

Storage issue resolved plus indoor slip with hoist at Hidden Harbor, Winneconne. I used to have a 23 SeaRay but happily downsized years ago. One boat hibernates on hoist over winter.

Yes, model is 183 but centerline length was closer to 17'. I guess the 18 was rounded up & 3 for trihull, so 183. 183B was bowrider and there was a 183R for closed bow (not too common). I actually had Bob & Carol Switzer out in that boat a few months after I bought it. Bob was driving, Carol was...

'74 Switzer 17' 183B, MerCruiser 140. I bought it in 2004. Technically it is now my kid's but it's in my shed & I use it. Go figure. That picture is at Izzy's in Berlin. '71 AlumaCraft 12' with 7.5 Mercury. Bought it in '20 from Rawhide. Typically I use it for backwater & shallow exploration...

There are 2 different blue boats pictured. Both parked at Captains Cove in Winneconne. The 1st one, pointing away is a '69 Shell Lake 17' Balboa with 155 HP OMC drive. I bought it in 2003. 2nd one, pointing to the right is a '66 Shell Lake 15' Calypso with a 90 HP 2 stroke OMC drive. I bought...

3 classics

My yard is all "detailed" & ready to green up. Don't want heavy snow here.

And for what it's worth, we used to turn the clocks in April & October. That's been every bit of 20 years ago. So back then we extended DST?

Keep DST or go year around DST, I don't care. But no Standard time year around. I like the late evenings in summer. But for those of you too young to remember when it was done in 1974 as a way to potentially save electricity useage, it was discontinued because kids were on their way to school...
