    Default boat finally ready


    Bought a used boat last Fall and have been working to get it ready. It's finally ready, so maybe I'll be able to post some fishing reports other that when the fish are on the banks in the Spring. Hope to get out and catch some Summer and Fall Crappie too. Hope to make the tournament Saturday. (now I have to find a boat partner)

    No better way to break in the new boat to you... catch a big ole mess of crappie and take home 600 dollars, I got some crappie in the fish basket up at the pond, guess I could rent them out

    What's the going rate for a basket of fish? 1 or 2 felonies?

    It's a 1980 Hydra Sports that hadn't seen the water since 1998. It's been in storage untouched for the last 12 years. I rebuilt the water pump, fuel pump,
    Carbs, steering cables, and a few other minor things.

    Reminds me a lot of my first boat. A 1979 Champion. Almost the same colors to. Congrats on getting it going and all the hard work you out in to it. Now you can reap the rewards by catching lots of fish out of it.
