Very nice rig, Enjoy!

Very nice Ray

Congrats on the new boat! I love my stick steer, too.

It's a 16' Weldcraft with a 50 Tohatsu motor. I moved my IPilot and seat to it and a few other tweaks. Basically a new boat, motor had 15 hours on it when the deaker did the break in service.
I called it my funeral boat because I hope it will serve me for rest of my fishing days. Also I'm pretty sure my wife will indeed kill me if I try to change again. We've been in our house for 12 years and this is my 5th boat so she does have a point.

Sounds like a Viking funeral. Put on a raft, set on fire, pushed out to sea

Ray, I think you have at least one more boat in your future. I'm on #6
Always thought a stick steer was the way to go, just no sure if I could sit still that much. If I don't keep moving the knees start talking to me

Grady, that's 5 since we've been in our present home. There have been several more over the years. 5 that I can remember so this is at least number 10!

We've been fishing Monticello but as it cools we will fish more on Murray. Which lake would y'all prefer to fish?

Love fishing out of a stick steer.
