    Default Simplicity at its finest


    With so many out there doing the modification up in high end water vessels and electronics and such , here is a version of simplicity we hit the water in some times .
    He does run a spot lock self deploy trolling motor that is pretty nice instead of an anchor and a simple hummer unit on the dash as well . He bought it on the cheap and rebuilt it over the winter in his barn , turned out sweet and runs like a rabbit .
    We dropped bamboo here and there back when and yesterday we visited said spots for a couple hours after work .
    One thing for certain , he sure had a bunch of crappie to clean when we called it done . them Bamboo condos were FULL of fish and the bite was right good for sure . the north end of the lake was muddy and the south quite clear and the fish bit the same way at every stop !
    KABOOM is the word from over here and the less complicated crowd

    Those Tri Hull rigs made some stable fishing platforms

    yes sir VIP , everyone had reservations at all the bamboo piles though so we had to find other places for them to sit when we showed up , the good news was there was room in the livewell area for guests that were not the real deal VIP

    What a nice setup. Your bud did a real nice job on the refurb. Those condos where just the ticket.

    he rebuilds about 1 a year , some sell fast and some he hangs onto a while , he does a pretty darn good job and uses what is laying around to do it , the flooring on that rig is new fiberglass with sand poured into it , very nice , non slip .....
    pays around 500 or less for them when he gets them and drops mostly time into them , not much in money ...
    the ole 70 on the back of that one is in really good shape and runs right nicely for sure too

    Can be enjoyable rebuilding some of those old boats
