Hello everyone, my name is Ken and I'm from northern Minnesota. My wife and I are getting the itch to get the boats in the water but unfortunately we still have about 30" of ice on the lakes up here. I'm currently running a GS with a 225 promax with a 27 hydro quad 4. I also have a checkmate enchanter with a 225 pro xs. The checkmate runs well with a 26 chopper or the quad 4. I'm glad I found this site, looks like a winner.

I was just getting ready to ask you if you have been to Lake Vermilion when I saw this part of your thread. Me and my family used to vacation there (for about 7 years straight) when I was younger. Been wanting to go back.

Welcome. Next weeks forecast for weather should help work on the frozen lakes.

Welcome to ScreamAndFly, Ken. You'll have fun. We're in Rochester and everything is open near here now but the Mississippi is high, dirty, and moving some volume.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I greased the wheel bearings on the trailer today, now I need to find a 25 or 26 pitch trophy plus and install a stereo and I'll be ready to go.
