Well it won't be long now ! !
Jumped in the Wilcraft loaded with gear . Varoom... Well something like that.
Started out at the Salvation Army Beach .. Kinda wet .
Doesn't look like were gonna need the Auger ... LOL
WELL since were here . Let's get'er wet .. got absolute comfirmation that the insurance policy is "in order" covered on the ice and in case the ice gives way covered in the water at that point.. Perfect !
Need the trolling motor NOW ... Good thing I had the Trolling paddle ... HA HA HA HA HA
Hey the ice is leaving.... Wait for me ! ! !
Just not enough consistent enough to climb on over here...
back to shore....
Now where did I put that trolling motor ... Sure glad I didn't buy the pretend 'little' paddles...
Was fun out floating and boating ... two ft of water ... trolling for rocks.. gotta find another spot...
Gotta love the drive it back up on shore thing ... Freakin EH ! !
So just over a bit ...Franklin Beach the Ice was a little thicker and away I go ...LOL
That's the front wheels..Awesome !
A little help ... never bought the studs ... LOL..
No studs means .. A little tug .. Well I'm in two ft of water ... and been wet before...Note to self ..Buy the freakin studs.. ! ! HA HA HA HA
ok she's up .....
But the ice won't take it ... Just an illusion that there's ice under me ..
OK BACK TO SHORE ...
Just a test LOL... First boat I've seen in Lake Simcoe this Year !
Back up on shore ....What a piece of cake..
Alright now ... Where can I buy a foot controlled Bow Mount trolling Motor not much use for an AUGER ... How about an outboard attachment for a Strikemaster motor ... NAH .. Need the electric for real control 55 lbs thrust should be LOT's ..

Well No it doesn't feel tippy .. It has a flat bottom. . the tires help alot with stability and its actually kinda adjustable.. With just me in the craft it sat a little back heavy but I just lowered the tires some and it leveled right out as you can see.... But to show you ... you'll HAVE to come up fishing SOON...
