Is the Mercury 150XL motor the grand prize for the March workshop ?... I'm buying 100 tickets

Congrats Ron on your new acquisition. You must be excited like a kid just before Christmas.

It's going to be a nice upgrade to your man cave.

Thanks Gerry! First new boat in 27 years! Overdue. The 150 hp Mercury would make a nice door prize!

March 1st Workshop Agenda:

We have Ed the Hook and guest confirming a visit up here from Connecticut for March 1st! Nice to have a visitor from Connecticut represented for the first time at our seminars. Please welcome and meet Ed!

As of today I have 27 donators and plenty of donations for our free drawings.

Mike Wichrowski from the Vermont Fish n Game will be available to discuss the state of our access areas and answer questions at our March 1st seminar!

We will also have Keith Chamberlain to do a product demo and answer questions about his "Chamberlain Release". We will have a rigger demo on a table for Keith.

I have three framed Brook trout prints from Winter Originals to present to Andre "Wally Andre" / Randy "Surprise" / Bill "Popster" for outstanding dedication to our sport.

I may have my new 150 hp Mercury 4 stroke uncrated and on display in a tank to start and demo the troll control. TBD. Hopefully we can work out the set-up and logistics in time with 10 days to go.
