Interesting. Who is this Brandon Conley?

 

[cane.mba]

I think he works for one of the local Yamaha dealers. They have one of the Center Consoles until Monday. Apparently Yamaha has two that are touring the country.

You guys have a market for center consoles up there in Canada?

Edit!!!! I thought you were in Canadia!! Oops.

If it's any consolation, it's felt like living in Canada for the last few weeks!

It would be good to see how the 190 CC handles in a cross chop with the extra keel, even though the consensus is that it's mainly for trawling.

I really like this center console. It would make a good companion to my 195. Man, why Yamaha why do you do this..............( checks bank account)

Interesting. I wonder if my dealer got to try it out. I will check next week. Usually they are involved.

@rkluck I'm surprised that the Gainesville dealer was able to pull this off. Lanier makes sense given the proximity to Atlanta and our trophy stripper population, not that I can catch anything other than bream, small mouth, large mouth, and catfish.

For all my Florida brothers, after this winter I no longer doubt that we will be moving back to the Tampa area within the next 2-3 years if not sooner. In fact due to winter storm Remus (am I the only one that thinks hurricanes are the only storms that should be named?) my wife took the boys to Florida on Wed, and they are having the time of their lives. I guess genetically we're wired for year round beach weather!

Mike did you have a lot of ice during that storm? I was down there yesterday Feb 28 and I saw a lot of trees down along the road. Wife and I went to Dawsonville.

You were just north of us then, I live in Cumming. We had 1/4" to 1/2" of ice that coated everything except the ground. Trees down, telephone poles snapped, at one point we had 30,000 people without power in Forsyth. Even more people were without power in North Georgia. That was all from the storm two weeks ago. The third blast last week turned out to be weaker than predicted, thankfully. We were told to expect 5-7" of heavy wet snow, but only got about 1" and then rain on top of that. Which really was a god send. The ground was so saturated and a very large amount of trees that didn't snap or fall were leaning heavily still. 5-7" of snow would have taken down a lot more.

The video was pretty bad. We got about a inch of sleet that week then last week about 4inches of snow. Most melted the next day
