Haiwee,

Congrats on your Bell purchase. They are great boats. Went to the Boundary Waters in 1985, and always planned to return. We drank out of the lakes in those days, and saw lots of wildlife including bears and eagles. Beavers were everywhere. Within one day, we all had French names and spoke with an accent. The fishing for pike, walleye, and small mouth bass was sensational and really helped the food supply after a week of dehydrated food.
