Back to Business June 28th





As life returns to normal in Huntsville after the G8 madness we include today some pictures of our Team Huntsville Marine in their 202 Tournament Crestliner. Ivan at the helm fishing the tournament series mostly Pickeral. You got to like the Mad Fish wrap on the sides! Ivan had a G III last year powered by a Yamaha. Ivan had the G III suffer a major structural problem which put him on the sidelines for over two months as they tried to sort it out. Want to get a pro fisherman excited...take away his boat for mechanical problems for two months during the tournaments. Ivan needed reliability and durability. Changed horses and is now a Crestliner Mercury Optimax runner. Ivan is very impressed with the fuel mileage he is getting with the 250 Optimax.
Last week Huntsville Marine added another member to our Team Huntsville Marine. The Waldock's will be running a Crestliner 1650 Fish Hawk with a 90 Mercury Four Stroke in the local tournaments. Good luck guys!
As we end the month of June and come into July, Huntsville is ready for one of our busiest months of the season. We still have a good selection of new Four Winns, Monterey, Stingray and Crestliner boats in stock. Our new Manitou Pontoons should be arriving very shortly. Huntsville Marine is offering a number of promotions on remaining stock. Rental operations get going big time this week as the vacation cycle begins in Ontario.
The sun has broken out here today and it is a great day in Muskoka. Nice to see some of our regulars back after laying low for a week with the G8 in town. Some of you have read some of my comments on the G8 madness here in Huntsville complete with pictures as it unfolded right in front of my office window. Huntsville was a love in for the security personnel and the town.
As I watched the news from Toronto for the G20...how lucky was Huntsville not to have the G20 here as well. Downtown may have ended up looking like an artillery barrage just happened!
I watched some of the coverage especially late Saturday and I am shaking my head! I just don't get it with the boys and girls in the black outfits. Protesters playing to the media...if the media was not there in mass...does the same destruction and insanity happen? One of my favourite media moments was Ken Shaw reporting. He was hiding out in his camera truck as he was in an unsafe situation surrounded by the protesters he said live. Could not get the mobile camera out the truck! Live the crew put the truck mounted camera extended up out of the top of the truck and...oops there was no protesters within 300' and the ones you saw were just standing around. Spiced that alone up a bit too much!
Tyler would have looked good in a Maple Leaf jersey. Must have been hard for Burk to watch that. Toronto is doing an outstanding job of building the Bruins. In goal Rask...Toronto first round pick. At center Tyler another Toronto first round pick. Coming next on defense one of our best puck moving defense men?
