Woo hoo a new record, lol. It’s a historic day in Saskatoon – just not the kind of history most people would prefer to be making. When the temperature dipped to -15 C from 4-7 a.m. on Tuesday, it equaled a 120-year-old record. The only April 9 on which Saskatoon was as cold as Tuesday came...

But summer forgot us this year, good thing I got vids to get me through, some plus temps outside sure would be nice. Here's one heading for lunch last year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4IyEMocCzs One from my buddy's Hydrostream of us http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZyEYXrsdJQ...

Nice F-150, wish I had a truck still, bought a 97' F-150 new and just sold it a few years ago, tow mine around now with a 2010 Flex, I don't tow much with it because the boat stays at the lake so it does alright, at the lake I usually use my AWD vibe for loading, it does better than the 2wd Flex...

Nice, look like it's in great shape!

Yup, what Chris said pretty much sums it up, I'm an outboard guy and my Dad is a I/O guy, but I get to do the maintenance on both our boats, his is a major PITA compared to mine and the season is shorter for him.

Looks like a fun project :thumb: makes it hard to know how it was when you get them gutted like that hey.

I also know a few that have them, some have had good luck others not so good, I know that they are very easy to deal with if you have an issue, one buddy and to send his back for something and they even covered the shipping. My local Mercury dealer say's they are junk, lots of problems he claims.

I have a bad back too, that was one of the main reasons I wanted to get the ATV with the snow plow, it don't take long to clear with that and I haven't had to buy any beer since it started snowing, neighbors keep my fridge stocked as long as their driveways are cleared, lol.

You wouldn't like it here then, lol, its actually not bad here because it's cold enough that the snow isn't a sloppy mess, when we get snow its not even really bad for driving in, I have been in snow down in Iowa and Illinois before and that sucks. This was taken Nov 10th, we are having a good...

Merry Christmas to you as well!

Thanks Chris, we have had a great time together doing this sport. The street we live on is the very last one on the west side of Saskatoon so we can ride out of town from our house, technically I'm supposed to trailer one block out but nobody says anything since I clean all the side walks on...

I have been doing lots of quading with my son since we put the boats away in the fall and I think he's taken a liking to the snow, haha We went on a 3 mile ride the other day and he did real good considering it was -10 C, I need to figure out how to install some hand warmers for him, the...

Good on ya :cheers: me too, the captain of a vessel is responsible for his and everyone around him's well being while on the water, that said, all the accidents I've seen on the water here in Saskatchewan are caused by people that go out and buy a 50k boat and hit the lake with absolutely no...

I suppose your right, I've always kind of been what you'd call a hot dogger I guess so to me turns like that don't seem so bad, there is a right time and place for it IMO, if you know what your boat is capable of and are an experienced driver I don't see a problem, but I'm also the same guy that...

Remind me to video next summer how well you can turn a Checkmate at 50 mph, difference is with that it doesn't slide out, but turns around just as fast, I wouldn't do it with passengers, I agree thats stupid.

I guess I'm dumb too :rof:

I know guys at our lake that do power turns with these types of boats all the time, you need to keep power on until the boat spins or it will dive, this guy cut power at the same time he turned in my opinion. I got a bigger laugh from some of the comments on youtube, like he forgot to put the...

The local Volvo dealer has been horrible to deal with, when the truck was only two years old I had a transmission problem develop, they blamed it on cold weather and I picked it up many times thinking it was fixed, a day or two later same problem, I dealt with this for about 10 months, I would...

LOL, yup it rides pretty good, it's a 07 that I've had since new, it's almost got 1 million km on it and I ordered a new Freightliner Coronado last Sat, been a pretty good truck, just small stuff over the years, in 5 years I only needed one tow truck, not too bad. around Christmas I should have...

We're smart here, we spread our turkey holidays out a little, lol. I was in ND yesterday so I got some truck stop turkey anyway, lol. Sean my snow tires have been on for a month already... Here was my view this morning, -21 here this morning. The old girl was a little frosty when...
