No boat, but looking.
About 5k budgeted for a boat, most likely cash. Anyone have a boat near Lower Alabama/Dothan/Pensacola/Tallahassee? Right now I hit the shores, rent boats from the MWR on post and my new secret is...
Pack up a cooler full of cold ones and lunch for 2 and hitchhike in with a guy goin out by himself An extra seat + Free beer = Boat with no payment Works like a charm! Been looking at some 90ies used 15-16ft'ers trying for a 75+ hp I suppose, first boat so not expecting a mastepiece, happy with anything Humble beginnings right? |

Re: Whats everyone got for a boat?
My boat is better at small ball than almost any other boat short of a go-devil. 13 feet 6 inches, I need about 6 inches of water and I can make it through. Caught a lot of unpressured bass by heading all the way up the creeks in reservoirs to places inaccesable to 20' gamblers, or at least those operated by a sane driver.

Re: Whats everyone got for a boat?
I'm not running down anyone with an expensive rig.If you work and can afford it ,I'm happy for you.I'd much rather have a top of the line Nitro.But I can't right now(I will in 3 or 4 years).I got to admit I love my antique Terry.I've caught a lot of big bass in it.

Re: Whats everyone got for a boat?
i dont have a boat, but my step dad does. he has a 15' restored skiff, with a johnson 30hp stick-steer. it will hold 3 people comforably, and 2 with alot of room. it will top off around 30, but we usually run it at 24, it will run the same with 2 or 3 people in it. he is gunna get a trolling motor for it, a saltwater one, he just has to wait alittle. we also have a 13' gheenoe with mercury 15hp stick-steer. its painted camo, and we only use it for hunting. the skiff is what we use for fishing.

Re: Whats everyone got for a boat?
My Miss River boat is a 14 foot flatbottom with a 25 horse mercury tiller outboard, Minn Kota 40 lb All Terrain trolling motor.
we keep our main fishing boat at our cabin up north. Â*2003 Lund Explorer 1675 SS with a Mercury 60 HP 4 stroke EFI w/ Minn Kota Maxxum 74 lb trolling motor. They're not rangers, and they dont go 60 MPH, but they get the job done. when you guys say stick steer, are you talking a tiller? must be a southern thing. |

when you guys say stick steer, are you talking a tiller? must be a southern thing.[/quote] LMAO, no it's not a southern or redneck thing, maybe a HICK thing though. A Stick Steer is where the steering is done by a single metal rod instead of a steering wheel. It's mounted on the side instead of in front of you. It has the smae connections, but you just move it forward or backwards to STEER. A tiller you sit in the back, but a stick steer is up fornt, without taking up the room a steering wheel does. I'll look for a picture and see if I can post a link to it. Very few companies make them at all anymore. Lizards |
