Seen a guy on Taney with a 50# bag of fish chow, seemed to be catching pretty good.....guess that is catching rather than fishing.

Sold, gone took my loss, Thanks

Think it is sold, guy is supposed to pick up Tuesday evening. Thanks

Lowered price to $675 here first, still on Craigs at 725

I am open to offers, do not have to sell just not using it, can wait until Spring, maybe I am too high?

Sold Thanks

This one seems a bit pricy but looks in good condition: http://springfield.craigslist.org/boa/3938194655.html g

Look at the welds Alweld is hands down better welded, in my opinion far better quality, the price reflects that too. but function about the same. I run some alum and some fiberglass, I do love my 20 ft. glass boat. If going for only one boat, it would be a 1848 Alweld, Tahatsu 25 jet, AND a 9.9 long shaft 2 stroke and interchange as seasons conditions dictate 25 jet jumps it up fine and legal on 11pt. Makes it legal on Buffalo.... One thing I would suggest... Split rear seat, much more comfortable to operate.... and move around, and switch sides.... my 2cents. g

Check Busch Wildlife and Lone Elk no trout but decent fishing. http://www.stlouisco.com/ParksandRecreation/MapsFacts/FishingLocations http://www.stlouisco.com/ParksandRecreation/ParkPages/LoneElk http://mdc4.mdc.mo.gov/applications/moatlas/AreaSummaryPage.aspx?txtAreaID=4901

My point exactly...

Gee Al, You mean to tell me these companies will not follow the law and use safe measures? Goodness, just look at what a fine job BP is doing cleaning up the Gulf! Oh, I can not remember what caused the spill...but they are cleaning it up nicely...

Hands down the best place, for the same or better trailer, save a grand....and a darn good family tell him Griz sent you: http://www.budsmotorsports.com/ up by Conway, but worth the drive g

Bakers Ford to Gilbert is 11.7 miles, pretty long day if you are fishing, Tyler Bend to Gilbert is is just 5.6 miles, but gets a lot of traffic. Brownie, Thursday should be good, but that section gets much more fishing pressure, but it should be ok. Better than Friday when we floated through, but there are usually too many humaniods around Tyler and Grinders... but lots of good holes and a pleasant float. The smallies seem to tend to be behind things, be sure and fish the down side of large rocks and laydowns. Tight Lines g

Floated Mt. Hershey-Gilbert 6/19-21, longer than I like for 3 days but... Water was too low Mt. Hershey to Baker Ford, but fishing was fair just got tired of draging nearly every shoal. No big fish, but many 12-13 inchers. Best luck was on a small chompers double tail grub and small 4 in plastic. worm, red flake watermelon and motor oil seemed to be the best colors. The float from Bakers Ford to Gilber was quite nice, not out of the canoe a single time to drag. But fishing was slower. Special thanks to Bobber, for his recommendations Gilbert Store was great on the shuttle, and the Gilbert Cafe was EXCELLENT. g

Put in at Hermitage today, took nearly 6 hrs. but managed a limit. 21-24 ft. water, brush about 15 ft. Minnows caught most, some on a horse head green punkin seed cart. tail. only 3-4 shorts all day, 10" plus females spawned out no biggins. Sometimes just heavy, sometimes tried to take the rod.... slow, but, cookin tomorrow on the creek. Just vertical fishing. Usually could seem them active right on top of the brush. Tight Lines. g

That's when they put me in the canoe naked in December and launch me at Greer.... for some local outfitter to find....

Well, think Al said what I tried to, much better communicator than I.

You can pm bobber on this board or contact him through his web site: http://floatthebuffalo.com/ If he does not have what you need Ozark Mt. Trading Co has some, they have stores in Ozark, MO and Garfield, AR. They have several on the water days each year and you can compare several, I really like that. They will be happy to take the full posted price, but they will dicker, I have had the price and boat I wanted before I left the house last time over the phone. http://www.ozarkmtc.com/index.html

The best product I have found to repair those gouges etc. that Al speaks of is G Flex, if you will get thier news letter Jameston will offer free shiping about once a month. http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=8694&familyName=West+System+G%2FFlex+Liquid+Epoxy+Kits On the pack I had to move the seat fwd quite a bit to flatten out, per Al's advice, not as far as Al recommended as I keep a fairly large cooler up front. I experimented with some Kevlar cloth rather than felt, for skid plates trying to avoid the handling difference Al speaks of, while functional they are ugly or I would have sold the pack and bought a Wenonah as it would be a better fit for my fat butt.

Well, Two of my best friends have apps, if we float together, they want me to bring the old tripper. But both love their apps, one is a sailboat/surf/paddle board guy, he needs to reduce his caffine intake. The other is a very good canoe handler and fisher man. The guy dumped at clabber traded his app for a guide 14 7 about half the value...... you have to stay on top of the app, Buffalo more forgiving. I would not stand up to p out of the app, buffalo no worries.

the newer packs are pretty thin, I bought mine in 2009, less than 200 miles on it, granted we had a couple of low water years, and at 5'10" 240 ih hauls a load.Butt it looks in worse shape than my 12 year old camper. Like the light, but if were to do over it would be the Wenonah Vagabond.

I run a tripper, a disco 169, a camper and a pack. That said I have paddled the buffalo and the appy, both good boats, in my opinion the buffalo is a bit more stable, but the appy is more agile, cuts n turns quicker. Only time I have ever went down in clabber shoal was in a appy but it was loaded pretty heavy for a 3 day run. Check with Bobber on the Buffalo fourm he can usually hook you up with a Buffalo quite a bit cheaper than the old town..my 2cents

no mention of the cities of Ozark and Nixa? both dump in the Finley......
