Welcome to Hell Week! This is the busiest week of the year in the Ontario marine calandar. The phone is ringing off the hook with boaters trying to make their arrangements for the official start of the boating season. The gentleman is picking up his Crestliner ready for a summer of fun and adventure. The fish don't have a chance! The picture on the right is Chris doing predelivery work on a 180RX Stingray for the weekend.
Just a few minutes latter the Crestliner truck arrived with a load of sold Crestliner fishing boats including Ivan's new 202 Tournamnent. Just before the Crestliner's arrived the Four Winns truck was here too. You can see by the loading that a forklift or crane is required along with considerable manpower to unload.
Absolute beautiful day here today hitting 25 degrees. No if you have not taken the time to book your boat out of storage...you cannot have it this weekend. We are completely booked!
Habs lost the first game against Philly. Good I am not a Habs fan!
Paul our service tech with the new 1700 Fish Hawk went fighing for the first time is his new boat and was rewarded with 8 Pike. Not a bad haul and being the true conservationist..return all safely to the lake.
My new 1650 Fish Hawk demo arrived today...we will see if i actually get time to use it!
The gentleman who was running Fairy Lake in the preformance boat with the thru hull exhaust is not makeing friends. Huntsville Marine did not sell or has not serviced this boat. One of the lake front cottage owners is really pissed and is contacting the OPP. Respect for others on the water and near the shoreline should be important to all boaters. Too reduce my phone calls from unhappy boaters and cottagers could all boater please try the following:
Small bodies of water are noise restricted when inside of 1/2 mile of shore...turn down the exhaust.
Wakeboarders do not need to be 200 feet off shore with a 3 to 5 foot wake. Hard on everyones
shorline, docks and moored boats.
Don't throw garbage of any type into the water.
Obey all posted speed limits.
Seadoo people stay away from others wakes and their boat as it is not safe to jump wakes at or near a moving vessel. If you are driving a Seadoo invest in googles so you can actually see where you are going.
Have fun...be boat wise and respect all others!
