Title: Stoked
Post by: Dmanmastertracker on July 26, 2009, 10:48:37 AM

 I'm not counting my chicken's just yet, but I may be able to get out fishing this summer, looking at buying a 9.9 Yamaha, hoping the deal goes through without a hitch and I'll catch the end of salmon season. I didn't think I would get out at all this year, a lot going on.

 Thanks, really sucks to have a relatively new 21' boat that I can't fish out of right now. I could use it in lakes, but not in the salt without a kicker. I'm welding this one on, so it's theft proof (hopefully).

Welding it on????  Can you do that with cast metal???  If it works, maybe it might get that done for same reasons???

 I'm not exactly sure how it's done, but my dealer tells me they've done it before, if I get some specific's I'll post.

I wouldn't weld it!!!! :bdid: I have talked to guys who had a good lock system. They still got their kickers and BIG motors taken. The thieves used a saw and cut the transom out as well as all fule lines and steering cables!!!! Would you rather buy a new kicker or have the boat transom rebiult and buy a new kicker.

Something to think about.

 It's either that or I'm having Guido watch over it 24-7 ;). The police in my area have more important thing's to do, like Winchells. :(.  When we get a robbery, or similar in my area they send the helicopter, true story, when the substation is right down the street. When I lived in Tacoma I didn't even see anything like that, I don't know if I should be amazed, or disappointed :o. I'm still a little bitter because the officer left me waiting for 3 hours to file a report -guess they should have sent the helicopter :chuckle:.

Get yourself a second hood for your kicker and smash some cracks in it and scratch it all up glob some bondo on it and make it look like a POS maybe they will leave it alone, then just put the new one on when you go fishin !!!

 I've been on one too many floating piles of metal with one bad engine to trust just one ;). Not fun being towed back in.
