After a warm start to the weekend the weather quickly cooled and the snow started to fall. Rather than a trip to the river I ventured north and picked up the winter beater from the shop. After a carb kit and a little tuning it is now mechanically "sound". I spent a little time adding rod holders, a new bow eye & hook, and a ram mount for the depth finder. The boat is almost ready to hit the water. All I need now is some warmer weather.
