gunzo Campfire Outfitter G Joined: Jun 2016 Posts: 9,602 Kentuck	I had a 22' Scarab with a fuel injected 454 Chevy just a few years ago. I knew going in that it was above my pay grade, but it was fun. The biggest downer was not $200 in fuel for a fun afternoon, but the towing, launching, loading, & cleaning afterward seemed like a second job to me. Not to mention the serious discussions me & the wife had about trying to get her help on the loading ramp. That's a prime place for some of the worse or funnest marital confrontations you'll ever see, depending on the role you're playing. Now, a beater 1754 Tracker Grizzly with a 40 Yamaha. Bang it on the trailer, go home & wash or wax it like, never.

When I got it, it wore a "homemade" aluminum tower. I replaced the gas engines with Cummins 6 cylinder diesels out of Dodge trucks, "marinized" by some friends of mine. This was in the early days of fiberglass boats, so this one was extra solid and heavy. Great rough water boat! Last I heard somebody had bought it from the insurance company after the storm and got it fixed up again - probably still fishing somewhere! Great boats! I ran charters on it for awhile, before the storm got it. Mike Holmes [email protected]

Someone put a lot of time, effort, and money into this boat (floors, paint inside and out, diamond plate, rails, seat boxes, etc.). That is freakin nice.

I'm bringing back my old workhorse 20' Trophy from Pond Orielle to use locally. It pulls and launches/recovers easily and is comfortable to fish out of. I got it new in 1991, and it's been a great boat. I just sent a good Lund 18' Pro Vee down the road. It was just too cramped for a fat old stumble-bum. I like ALL boats and have since I was a small kid. I just need more deck space now as I trip and fall over myself. I miss the agility of smaller boats.

Of course! cuz I've been called a dickhead a few times in my life as well! Flave, take a midpoint rest in GA. Since I don't drink I'll drive the rest of the way to Erie, so you can burn your liver the entire ride up!
