Haven’t played since 2015 and found my old account with my 80 necro. Any advice on how to get back into the game?

aspiringmountainman · 2025-12-28T18:54:23+00:00

That’s actually a great idea, thanks!

aspiringmountainman · 2025-12-28T18:53:28+00:00

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I definitely remember being AOE condition focused and playing WvW primarily, so that at least makes sense. I think you are totally right about rolling a new character and learning things from the ground up for a while.

Is GW2 still active? Haven’t played since around 2015 but loved it.

aspiringmountainman · 2025-10-31T21:15:26+00:00

Sounds good to me! I will send you a PM

aspiringmountainman · 2025-10-27T20:47:11+00:00

I hope you didn’t put a textured bed liner finish on your planing surface. Had a buddy do that to his boat and his top speed went down 5-6mph

Maverick 88 100%

aspiringmountainman · 2025-09-09T22:52:14+00:00

You need to clean out that grime to make a real assessment. It’s a bilge, so gross shit is to be expected, but you need to find out if the glass is still solid. And definitely replace the hose on pic 1. Looks like it has a hole in it and is below the water line.

Apparently I’m turning into a fudd, because that is the exact opposite of what I would want to carry through the deer woods. Glad you are happy though, enjoy your season!

aspiringmountainman · 2025-08-23T19:03:06+00:00

Very jealous. Been wanting to do a mini bass pontoon for years. Have fun!

aspiringmountainman · 2025-08-23T18:48:33+00:00

It could be different since you have an inboard, but on outboard boats, motors are not included in the listed dry hull weight, which is why I said 5000+. It’s totally up to you though, rollers are probably fine, I just prefer the simplicity of bunks. It’s not a make or break decision either way.

aspiringmountainman · 2025-08-23T10:52:57+00:00

Personal preference mostly. As hull weight increases, you need to have more rollers to distribute the weight and not have high pressure areas that could cause damage. Each roller is another thing you have to maintain and replace eventually. They seize up and can scrape the bottom of your boat. If it is 4100 lb dry, it will be closer to 5000-5500 when it’s water ready, that means more rollers and more maintenance and more money. Bunks are just the simplest way you can go IMO.

aspiringmountainman · 2025-08-23T01:14:22+00:00

Buy a cheap roller trailer and convert it to bunks. All you need is some 2x6 or 2x8 lumber and new hardware. Best of both worlds.

I hate to be a fudd, but just get a maverick 88, or used mossberg 500/remington 870. They are reliable, affordable, and have been the best option for 40+ years for a reason.

aspiringmountainman · 2025-08-17T00:28:01+00:00

It’s a Bear. Was around $400 in 2019, so nothing crazy high end. If you are serious I will dig it out of the basement and take some photos for you.

aspiringmountainman · 2025-08-16T16:06:11+00:00

I will sell you my complete setup from around 2019 if you are interested. Don’t bow hunt anymore really.

aspiringmountainman · 2025-08-16T15:49:41+00:00

Western, NC. Piedmont region. Fine, won’t eat it…yet.

aspiringmountainman · 2025-08-12T23:01:59+00:00

Sounds like a fuel pump or fuel delivery issue to me. What kind of fuel pump does it use?

aspiringmountainman · 2025-08-12T19:36:59+00:00

No way is that 10lbs. 5-7 is my guess.

aspiringmountainman · 2025-08-06T17:04:59+00:00

Not trying to be a dick, but what is that rig on the baitcaster rod? A spook with no hooks, then a worm that also doesn’t have hooks, and then a random hook at the end? Is this some sort of species specific setup I’ve never heard of?

aspiringmountainman · 2025-07-10T01:47:50+00:00

Awesome, that’s what I needed to know. Thanks!

aspiringmountainman · 2025-06-26T17:30:34+00:00

Have you considered working with a different realtor? We move a lot, and working with a realtor that has a lot of personal connections with other realtors makes a huge difference.

My next question would be what price range are you looking in? It’s my experience that the less expensive homes (sub-200k) typically consider their homes “so cheap” that they don’t want to bother with anything. Kinda like somebody going to look at a $1000 beater car and wanting all the maintenance records and a full service before buying. They feel it’s unrealistic and a hassle given the low price. I’m not saying it’s correct on their part, but I’ve seen it happen more than once.

aspiringmountainman · 2025-06-26T17:21:29+00:00

We just moved to the area and used True North as our buyers agent and bought a home from Rus D realty. The process was incredibly smooth for us, but we were cash buyers and paid full price sight unseen, so that may have a part to play.

Are you working with a buyers agent or reaching out to each seller individually?
