I guess this sweetheart is ready for a new home. 6000.00 She could use fresh carpet.....Had that all traded for & lined up, but the guy let his wife talk him into getting a COVID shot and he fell over dead 3 days later 😥 Everything else is top notch 👍. She's caught a lot of fish ! They don't build them like THIS anymore.

There's been a tit or two shaken out in that bad boy also. 👍

It really is. It's a Table Rock/Bull Shoals boat, so it isn't beat to hell like these Lake O rigs are. How it rides depends on how you drive it. You can either cruise and sip coffee.....or shake your wife's tits out of her shirt. 😅

Structurally sound & no major issues.....but the more I polish, nitpick and tinker with it the more the selling price is gonna go up 😊 If interested in a really fine, and truly easy project rig..... Come check it out, or gimme a shout 👍 6000.00 today Or I'll sell you my old Ranger 350V for about the same price and keep this one. 🤷‍♂️

It was SUPPOSED to be an upgrade, partially to support the winter pond stocking city boy program...... "because THEY pay taxes too".....but that didn't work out, so here we are !

If you account for the first failed hatchery upgrade....... definitely yes.

Nah, and there will be a flood, tornado, or some other "act of God" that they will blame it on.

I think, at this point, that if you believe that one day soon they'll all of a sudden kick it into gear and get serious about completing the project....... you are living in a dream world.

We were down there last week, from mid-week thru the weekend. The whole place is in shambles and nobody appeared to be working at all. Whoever is in charge of that project should be ashamed of themselves. 🙄 It looks like they hired the same crew that Charlie Reading did.

Depends on what you're fishing for, where you're fishing, ect.... Mann's Little George tail spinners can cast a mile and can be lethal when targeting White bass in open water, or around tailwaters. I got schooled on big "Dixie Jet" flutter spoons a few years ago.....and that is FUN ! Everything from big bass to giant flatheads in 10-40 feet will smoke those things.

It's just as well that I wasn't invited to that meal....... because 1/3 of a groundhog would only arouse my appetite, without bedding it back down. 😊

I bet the Ukrainians about $#!t their pants ! 😅

Allegedly left Whiteman headed West, and crossing over the Pacific as if headed straight for Ukraine. Interesting route if the plan was to drop fire in Iran 🤷‍♂️

I think those were tracked decoys.

They might like to shop at Walmart or Dollar General !

When cats show up around here they are 100% feral/wild. My customers boats always smell like fish, and I can't have them scratching around in there...... So they get one chance to scram for good, then if they return they get pelleted. I always feel bad about it, because they are just doing what nature intends.....but I just can't have that going on here.

Yeah a pee hole problem could definitely put things into limp mode.

Hell I was surprised that it picked it up so smoothly and just flew off with it. It wasn't really a full grown one.....but it wasn't a little baby by any means. Half the size of a 5lb. Coffee can !

The squirrels & rabbits don't stand a chance around here because the hawks monitor the roads and get them if they try to cross. Never thought about the turtles. I wish they'd eat cats !

Was standing on the porch watching a box turtle cross the road, hoping that a car didn't come down and hit him, and then ZAP........a stupid hawk nabbed it 😠 Hawks can eat a turtle???? Surely not ! Right ? 🤷‍♂️

FYI: The water pump intake on a jet pump will allow line to collect in the pump housing..... and chew your impeller into tiny bits, and those bits can get blown into the powerhead, blocking cooling water passages..... Requiring a complete teardown to clean out. Just something else for ya to worry about. 😅

On bodies of water that get a lot of fishing pressure..... especially since the popularity of braided line......these type of failures are becoming more & more common. I see it practically every single day Just look at the twisted splines & braided line on this 115 propshaft ! 🤑 That stuff eats seals like a hacksaw blade ! If you think that jet pumps can't be destroyed when they suck up a few yards of braided line, you're badly mistaken. 😉 So don't neglect to pay those insurance premiums, and be sure to do business with a cool outboard tech that knows how to convince any adjusters that damage from things like fishing line legally falls under the category of "IMPACT DAMAGE". 😊

Years ago some fisheries biologist examined a scale sample from a longnose gar captured from Lake O, and kept as a pet at "The Aquarium".......if anyone remembers that place, (next to the Wild Mouse)..... He claimed it was soon to be 80 years old when The Aquarium went out of business, and the old gar was allegedly set free.
