Nope, 175

Shawn had that grill set-up at the meet the first year he came....2010
Thankfully someone brought food. Thanks Shawn and Jessica.

Celebrating a b-day at Red Wing sounds ok to me.

Thanks! That sandwich wasn't sitting out in the sun too long, was it? :o
One thing I can say, is I like how it takes waves at any angle or speed.

The prop that Gregg tested with the defective hub was a Hi-Performance 22" pitch 2-blade bronze prop that I bought new on e-bay, but the prop is from the 1970's. Guess rubber weakens with age. Was hoping that it would be a fast prop, as I have never tested it and am saving it for the 1988 115 HP Merc. Just glad that Gregg's Merc did not blow up with the high revs.

Spent Friday evening on the lake until sunset. Then meet Greg, and Ross and my friends from Rochester for some relaxing and sight seeing on the lake on Sat.

And on Sun I went bear hunting and got on at about 7:45 that night. Figured some where between 250-280 LBS. 

Thinking bear brats next time we are on the river.

I think this has become an addiction.

That looks like a pretty good size on Shawn.
We think we have one around here, well I know there are some around here but I mean in the yard. Bird feeders were destroyed about 6 weeks ago so we quit filling them and seeing all kinds of scat that we have not seen before. If its not Bear, I don't know what it is. Certainly not Elvis!

You can get a permit for a nuisance bear so you can shoot it and get rid of it. We just ate the bear brats that I made and they were pretty good.
