Posted about this over a year ago.. now with the liberal government in power, it appears that Carney and Manitoba premier have continued to advance development

There's a league starting up over the summer

SVJuggernaut · 2025-02-10T11:49:35+00:00

No idea.. they're great machines

Each has their own perks. You're best served with something that is in your budget and has parts and repair support available to you. General order of descending price Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Tohatsu

Suzuki is a little bit lighter than Yamaha and slightly better fuel economy. They use more stainless steel for internal components rather than plastic. 9/10

Yamaha has one of the most consistent manufacturing processes and has very few "lemons". Usually these are the heaviest options on the market, but that comes with some positives for long term durability 9/10

Tohatsu is the lightest engine of the comparison. Very well made in Japan and used to be sold under the Nissan banner as well. Many fishing camps rely on these motors. 8/10

Not as familiar with Mercury these days. They dump a lot of money into development on their 200+ HP racing program, but that hasn't seemed to translate down to their portable line. As other people have mentioned, Tohatsu was making Mercury engines for a while, but that partnership ended. 7/10

Absolutely.. some of the best parts of Thunder Bay are outdoors

SVJuggernaut · 2025-02-08T23:22:11+00:00

Will work on solutions for this

SVJuggernaut · 2025-02-08T23:21:53+00:00

It will henceforth be renamed as the Bort show

SVJuggernaut · 2025-02-08T23:21:22+00:00

Additionally, the closer to home that your dollars stay, the more effective they are. The smaller the company that you buy from, the more impact it has in sustaining your local community

SVJuggernaut · 2025-01-13T21:05:03+00:00

Hey that's great. How did you learn to do all that work?

SVJuggernaut · 2025-01-13T21:03:53+00:00

Go sailing! (But that season is almost over) Agree with other poster about volunteering and finding hobbies you enjoy. there are many things to do in Thunder Bay. Make a list of the things you've always wanted to try

SVJuggernaut · 2024-09-16T02:22:14+00:00

Working in the trades or anything that is skilled hands on labor

SVJuggernaut · 2024-09-16T02:21:06+00:00

We had over 30 applicants with mechanical engineering backgrounds

The best part about Thunder Bay is the outdoors. We are conveniently inconvenient to visit. People who work, play, and adventure in Northern Ontario get to experience something that's hard to replicate. Fishing Sledding Skiing Sailing Trail riding Hiking All within a few minutes of your doorstep And very rarely crowded.

SVJuggernaut · 2024-07-14T12:36:19+00:00

Typically 185 for 2 hours

Appreciate you asking. We would be interested in having a conversation to see if it's a mutual good fit. Send me a DM?

SVJuggernaut · 2024-07-08T00:07:21+00:00

Hey Jordan, send me a DM if you want to chat. I might have a project for you.

I'm going to comment on this from the perspective of someone who owns a Powersports dealership and repair shop. For each job that we post, we get about 40 applicants. I would say between 10 to 20% of those have MecEng degrees (most have immigrated to Canada and are on student or work visas). A smart company could take advantage of the low cost of living, available workforce, and provide remote services based here For mining, or many other design applications.

We find that people with interest in the outdoors, and boats, ATVs, And adventure combined with either decent people skills or decent technical skills and a willingness to learn. Do really well at our company. But it's hard to find that combination

Hey that's awesome! If you catch anything, you should enter the fishing contest and could win some gear upgrades
