That's what I ended up with, upgraded to a 30hp four stroke.

Can't wait for the ice to melt .

I don't believe I can wait until May. I was thinking about arming the
kids with axes and sending them ahead of me to break up the ice on the
mighty Nith river, so I can get started boating now.

Speaking of which - what's the earliest place I can get the boat into
the water for some fishing in SW Ontario or the 'near north'? Do I wait
until May and head up to Georgian Bay for pike fishing?

I'm anxious to get started .<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Take the boat down to Lake Erie as Erie will warm up before the lakes up
north.

Well, you can probably get the boat in the water sometime in April once
the water levels come up enough.

As for fishing in Ontario, you have to wait until the season opens.

You can see the 2005 Ontario Fishing Regs here..
