I need a new net, the cable ties holding the bag together on the old one are getting worn and the gorilla tape over the cracks in the handle is pulling away. Otherwise a small amount of spinner components and maybe some bottom bouncers is all. I figure I got enough rods to get me through this year. How about you?

I actually bought a Bass Tracker Classic XL today. I needed something smaller to get into the strip pits I normally fish. Some are tight enough I have to use my Gator to launch the boat. Boat inventory is in a bad way around here….

I may pick up a spare prop for the outboard soon. Mine is already fairly chewed up, so a few more good whacks on the river and it'll be about shot.

Other than that, I'm already pretty well set for this year.

I wanted a smaller boat so I have a Polarcraft 178 Frontier on order putting a 115 Merc Pro XS

I sold my 1625 Lund Rebel
Ironically wanted something larger than my small boat but also something smaller than my large boat

I also ordered a Merc 20hp efi for my duck boat
These new 20s are only 99lbs and I hear they run very well

Boat boy what was the tag price on the 20hp merc?
Was out to Fleet & Farm the other day they marked down some Berkley, Daiwa and Shimano rods pretty cheap. When I can buy a new fishing rod for $7.50/12 each I get right after it. Bought 7 for $71.36 . I keep some fishing rods in my camper as well as both trucks. It's nice to keep several in each boat that way you don't have to move alot a stuff around to go....mb

Well. I sold my LT10
Gheenoe. Used the funds to pay for a new 13' model and a 12'9 square stern GoldenHawk canoe. The extra size and weight of the LT10 made creek fishing more of a headache than it should have. Happy to be going back to a 13' model and the golden hawk will let me tap into some really off the path places.

Nothing new as far as tackle, rods, etc though.

I don’t recall exact but I bought a 14ft used Grizzly and I like the little boat it has a 9.9 Merc 4 stoke and it moves it but just ain’t enough for me, if I was on a frog pond it would be fine but I am on a small river off the Saginaw Bay Lake Huron and I can run a ways. What caught me is the 99lbs but I blew that by a couple I added power trim and tilt. The 411 I am getting is these run very well

So efi /power to weight ratio
I think and hope it will be a winner
I have a mud motor for this boat also so at times I will want the Go Devil and spring etc the outboard
Hank

MB when is enough ammo or Rods enough
I have no idea that’s why I also seem to keep adding

When I post I think it’s worthy to note
I think Merc,Yamaha and Suzuki make GREAT outboards
But I work for Merc

Thanks for the info. On the what is enough ammo? The answer is you have enough after you die or your trying to swim to shore. But fishing rods and reels wgf it's only your business. My 73 Evinrude is 49 years old I want newer 25hp with electric start and 4 stroke . A alternator for battery charging and my partially torn rotator cuff says electric start
Trying to find a new small motor is a bitch...mb

Bob it sure is tough finding OBs today

There is a bunch of factors but man when you find your 25 4 stroke you will love it

But ironically I don’t follow the small ones that much and before I ordered the 20 I was talking to a dealer friend and I didn’t realize how common tilt and trim is currently on the tiller motors and it makes sense guys of my age and more mature twisting around and tilting the motor is just a pain
If your going to have a battery for electric start may as just use it for the trim

Boat boy I got ruined back in 1980 I bought a 16' Alumacraft with a 20" transom and a 40hp tiller Merc. I didn't get the electric start so no alternator or trim and tilt. 2nd notch up on the trim and gas tank as far forward as I could get it. It would run on the last 4.5' of hull at 37-38 mph. Paid 2150 for it new. That won't buy a 9.9 merc these days never mind the boat or trailer. Yeah I just like the ease and portability of 14-16' v hull aluminum fishing boats, don't get any simpler.

Re-inventing my old boat this year. Every 20 yrs I give it a makeover. Around the turn of the millennium I decked it over, this time it will be just pods on the back, a shooting deck(removeable) for archery carp and I'm building a surface drive motor from a kit.
