Well when I sold Justin my last boat I said that's it, no more, I lied, in less than 3 mos. I was looking.
They have cut all the timber around here and with that my coon hunting places have about dried up close to home. There are thousands of acres of good hunting along the river. So I started looking for a boat I could rig for hunting and fishing here around the house.
The problem was they were either beaten to pieces or high is giraffe azz. I finally found a basically solid boat that I didn't think was a bad price.
It had close to three hundred hole in it from someone going crazy with tek screws installing several different duck blinds over the years, in the ribs and front deck. I welded all them shut. Then made storage under the seats. Put a false bottom in it and put closed cell foam under that. Made a fuel tank and battery holder up front to offset weight, also made a removable grab bar. Then put rod holder bases up both sides.
Also put anchor mates on it. Today I painted it.
Now it is just run some fuel lines and wire it and go see what the flatheads are doing.
