Neat little boat you snagged there @MarPar ....should be fun on the lakes.

Thanks Rog. It'll be perfect for the ponds we have around here.

 

[wahya]

Well yea. lol

All the boat/fishing forums I have visited so far suck. The only decent one is lake-link.

If you ever decide to get into that arena, lemme know.

Congrats on the new to you boat (hole in the water)
it won't be too bad, not much to it
should be fun
we will need threads & photos of 'all the big fish' caught off
"the SS Minnow"

till you buy an outboard, crazy prices nowadays

be cool to have a center helm, like a lil' whaler

2 best days of boat ownership
the day you buy it & the day you see it leaving the driveway/garage/shop,
for the 1st outing... It only goes down from there
or
the day you sell it, some opinions will vary

I have a '77 16ft tri-hull runabout/walkthru bowrider
with a 50hp Merc (ol' org. 2 stroke) it will plane/cruise about 35mph
a lil' faster with a different pitch prop, but I like it for trolling
used to use it it a lot, mostly all freshwater lakes
dad used it for Bass Tourneys way back when, bought it in 1979-80
I haven't used it much, since dad's heart surgery, a couple years ago

That place was just a couple miles from my palatial NH retreat. Been in there a few times, but they've been closed for years now. Wish I had bought a t-shirt from them way back when.

See if you can find a Yamaha 15 hp 4 stroke.
You can't even tell if it's running it's so quiet.
Troll all day on a quart of ethanol free

 

[ESOXER]

I think my skiboat is staying in this year, burns 10 gallons a day! I'll just use the duck boat. I've been thinking of finding one of these since I saw Freiburger and Steve with one.

 

[hacksaw]

i could sit in it all day and drowned bait .....lol

I was hoping they made a 15hp 4-stroke. You just made my day, Don!

Lake Wisconsin is below Petenwell, right? It goes Petenwell, Castle Rock and then Lake Wisconsin?

**UPDATE**

The battery is still dead. Only holding 12.34v at rest. Water levels are good and I don't see any obvious phosphate on the plates. Oh well. My buddy did tell me it was basically a core. lol
