Hello, I'm planning to buy a boat & a new Mercury 20 hp next spring. The boat has a rear bench seat about 16 inches from the transom, so I was wondering if the long tiller handle on the Merc might be too long to steer easily. Can anyone tell the the exact length of the tiller, from the motor to ...

Hello,
Does anyone the exact length of the BF 20's fuel hose line and the battery cable? I need pretty exact measurements because I have a small boat and there is limited places where I can place my battery and gas tank. Thanks.

Many thanks for the info. So just to be clear, even if you troll for long periods at idle speed, the vibrations from the handle arent too distracting or annoying?

I was thinking of buying a 2023 Yamaha F25 but I heard the tiller handle vibrates a lot at idling/trolling speeds. Since most of my fishing is trolling, this could be a problem, especially if your arm gets numb after a while. Does anyone have any views on this?

I looking to buy a G3 15' aluminum fishing boat. Any views on the quality and reliability of G3 boats?

The water at the Eccolands launch on the Rideau river was down 5' yesterday, and there was a big pile of rocks at the launch opening. Does anyone know if the launch at Rideau Locks 14-16 near Manotick, or the Jock River Landing are open?

Does anyone know the chine width of the Alumacraft V14? I'm nor talking about the width of the floor on the floor models, but the actual width of the boat at the chines (widest point on the bottom of the boat). Thanks.

Hello, I have a 2017 Alumacraft V14 with a few scratches on the inside that I would like to re-touch. Any suggestions on where to get matching paint? Its a silver-grey metallic.

Does anyone know if there is still ice on the lakes in the Ompah / Palmerston Lake area (North Frontenac Parklands)?

Hello,
Anyone know of any Brown Trout lakes in Algonquin Park? I've fished all the lakes in the Ottawa area where there are stocked brownies (according to Fish-on-Line) but no luck.
Thanks.

Some excellent advice here guys. Smitty, I'm 60 yrs old, so loading the tinny in the back of my tacoma gets harder every year, which is why I'm thinking of going to a shorter, lighter boat! Also, I usually only fish small lakes. Having said this, security is still a major concern for me which is why...

This topic also posted in Boat Section I have a 12 foot / 53 inch wide boat with a pointed bow that I'm thinking of trading for a 10 foot / 51 inch wide Jon boat. I need a boat that's really light and easy to load in a pickup truck, but I've heard that Jon boats are tippy and could be unsafe in cho...
