Question I am charging the battery for my flasher and in the manual it says charge till green light comes on. It also say it should take about 8 hrs. Well after 2 1/2 hrs the green light is on. Think I should keep charging it or is it good to go

Your good to go HH, you ain't left yet ??

OK, OK, BACON BREATH!!!! I'M HERE!!!!!!

Pyro, where did your buddy get his reviews?!! What is it you need to know? The engine is the Viper block, bored to 33cc, aluminum/steel sleeved cylinder, runs at WOT 7800-8000 RPM's, Viper diaphragm-actuated carb with manual pump bubble; variable choke, foam element air filter, on/off switch. Cut steel gears; no stamped crap. Rips through the ice like red-headed *****. Had mine 6 years; never a problem. Typically drill through 18-24" of ice; my time is under 14 seconds by stopwatch. 4-5 buddies with the 'ray, same luck. Purrs like a kitten.
Cousin is a fishing guide in Northern Minnesota, pounds his 'ray relentlessly. Flawless.
Sure, more power in the Mako and Shark, but if you want a lightweight, tough, screamin' machine, get a 'ray. Questions?

Vex, When does it end? I already posted a pic of the ole Barracuda n me, just need to get 1 with MOnalisa (Z71) n me. Can I just use my video?

vexvision · « **Reply #1519 on:** Dec 18, 2011, 11:04 AM »

...........its COLD out!!

FKK, yes you can use the video........

The contest ends on Jan 1st, 2012. 2 Entries only......and all the losers who participate have to send a jig to the winner

Sometime on the 1st, we will all have to scroll back to around page 59 or and move to the current page to find our favorite to vote on.............

WAIT...Better idea...........Ill start a new thread called the M.P.A.F.F.O.E.A.O. In this thread, we post our 2 entries. This way, all contestents photos are easier to find for voting purposes!!!!!!! Maybe this will be one of our annual contests, maybe Surfs jig supply will last and we can do the other contest annually as well? Thats up to Surf

Ill post the contest rules in that thread as well

vexvision · « **Reply #1520 on:** Dec 18, 2011, 11:13 AM »

OK, the thread is up, contestents who have already posted their entries here need to re-post them on the M.P.A.F.F.O.E.A.O. thread!

Surf, you hunted that ice down didn't you? We're at about the same latitude I think. How thick was the ice? Good for you! All I see is skim ice. I may head up '1000 ft. and check it out.
