fishinwrench Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I got busy and it got too cold to install carpet or this one would be done. As it sets now it's gonna be another 2 months before I get back to working on it....and I'd just as soon be out from under it and move on. It would be a great project boat for someone that enjoys that kinda stuff. I have a '91 Merc 150XR2 for it that is ready to be put together.

I have had 5 Boats. nothing wrong with them just not what I consider the perfect Boat. My wife says I catch plenty fish for us and I can walk in as far as hunting. We have two places one on the Niangua River the other on Truman Lake. Since August I've had bad arthritis in my Back, Right Arm and Right Leg. Pain is so bad I need to stand every so often in a Boat. I'm wanting a Boat I can Gig with in the River and one I can Catfish and Crappie Fish in the Lake. Plus wanting one to take in hunting Deer and Turkey at the Lake, figure it will be easier to get close and getting Game out. So the Boat would be used year round. Thinking 16/48 Aluminum Jon. Thinking Jet Drive Prop would work but thinking while I'm at it I might as well get Jet or I will be kicking myself if I don't. $3,000 or less. I had a 18/60, it to me was just too Big my wife says it would have worked just as good as the 16/48. Seen a Pontoon Boat For Sale she says that is what we need can walk around and BBQ so really with her a Boat isn't totally out but a Pontoon is just too much. oneshot Boats are a lot of maintenance -- especially if you are not handy and resourceful. I have had five boats if you include the cedar-stripper and I am of the opinion it is better to have a good buddy with a boat. tjm and BilletHead 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
