Pifke?

Boom that’s it! The last time I was in his shop, I was putting a new torque converter in my diesel as he was building a pontoon boat and if I remember correctly he was going for a blown big block. Probably around 2003 or so

It hasn't changed.

One of the cool things I remember about Fond du Lac is all the live bands that played in the bars on Friday and Saturday nights. I hope that part hasn't changed...

Living on Lake Murray, SC , but will be back in Canton, Ohio in 3 days - harder to make the change after 61 years - boating season isn;t that much different. The lake doesn't freeze, they lower it to kill all the crap on the shore line and do dock repair, so it's closed from October to April, just like O H I O!!!! It will be nice to have the seasons again - i think????!!!!

 

[Headless hula]

@TripleB you could/should start a thread about the new build. You have plenty of pics..

Haven’t been up there in years. I know there’s at least one DCB that runs around it. Spent quite a few fishing openers at my friends grandparents place on the Vermillion river.

I've seen a few performance boats up there. My FIL's cabin is just down the lake from one of the bars, so it gets busy on Friday and Saturdays. We we're up during a wooden boat show this last year, that was cool. Good fishing right off the dock .

Vacation in Minocqua, WI. Passage between Lake Tomahawk and Little Lake Tomahawk, in answer to RDP Midwest Chapter PrezHula

I live halfway between Oshkosh and La Crosse where “up north” vacationland begins for city folk from Milwaukee, Madison, and Chicago.

Woodstock IL. About 10 miles from the Wi. Border or the chain.
As Activated said. "Nice place to be from". I swore I would only be here a few years. It's been 18.

Hey, we used to have a customer named Steve Boyer with a 2WD pulling truck named Wild Canary that we built 500 CID blown alcohol 8.3L Arias hemis; ring a bell at all?
