your welcome,
I kind of shot a lot of info across your bow, so when you decide to do something besure to post it here where you can receive the collective experience of skilled and seasoned anglers.
on ebay stay away from used hand crank augers, the replacement blades are almost as expencive as the the whole auger, I bought me a lazer jet last year, glad I did, but I paid 75.oo for it new. the replacement blade is 45.oo.
To sharpen those blades you need to be a tool and die man, even for the flat bladed augers it requieres great sharpening skills to get the blades to cut right.
on a power auger, the blades are just as expencive, but it not 2/3rds the price of the whole auger.
when you get the PFD make sure you get a 100-150 foot of soft nylon rope and keep one end tied to the PFD at all times, you wont always have the luxury of having the time to tie it on when it comes time to throw it... on the other end be sure to tie a big ball knot around a giant washer or nut so you will have something to throw should you go down in to the drink.
