Back in the water……

After a slow make-over the wood boat is finally back in action. Sporting a new ash keel, several coats of epoxy finish and marine varnish, and a brand new 50hp Yamaha tiller, it is looking good.

The motor has about 20 minutes of running time on it. Seems really quiet, even at full throttle. Only one small issue…..the handle is much longer than what the Merc had making the driver’s seat position somewhat tight. Solution……..add another seat base maybe a foot forward.


18 feet of wooden fish catching fury. That 60 incher is sure going to look pretty against the cedar and oak!

If you’re looking for an outstanding vacation spot for the serious fisherman or a family get away you should consider Vermillion Bay Lodge on Eagle Lake, Ontario Canada. We have stayed at many lake resorts over the years, but none offer the simple pleasures of this one. The lake is large enough and holds enough fish for the most adventuresome fisherman and yet easy for local family fishing for young children. Bring your own boat or use one of the aluminum boats (20 hp) at the lodge. Boat dockage is well protected from the wind and allows easy access to the water.

What sets this lodge apart from most others is it is always clean, well kept with lots to do including paddle boats canoes, bon fires in the evenings and a just plain friendly atmosphere.
